5. Toxicity Substance ID: 71–43–2<br />

______________________________________________________________________________<br />

Species: rabbit Sex: female<br />

Strain: New Zealand white<br />

Route of administration: inhalation<br />

Exposure period: gestation days 6–19<br />

Frequency of treatment: daily/24 hours per day<br />

Duration of test: gestation day 29<br />

Doses: 0.5, 1.0 mg/l; 11 and 15 rabbits respectively<br />

Control Group: yes, concurrent no treatment<br />

Method: other<br />

GLP: no data<br />

Test substance: no data<br />

Remark: Control group consisted of 60 dams exposed to air. Dams<br />

were killed on day 29 and foetuses examined as described by<br />

Ungvary G. Munkavédelem, Munka–és Uzemegészségügy 29,<br />

207–216, 1983.<br />

Result: The top dose caused statistically significant decreases in<br />

maternal weight gain and mean foetal weight and<br />

statistically significant increases in the number of dead or<br />

resorbed foetuses, mainly arising from abortion, and the<br />

percentage of minor anomalies. At 0.5 mg/l, slight<br />

non–significant decreases in maternal weight gain and<br />

increases in the numbers of dead or resorbed foetuses and<br />

minor anomalies was reported. The investigators did not<br />

consider benzene to be teratogenic.<br />
