Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Eight complex fragrance mixtures consisting of approximately 200 ingredients (close to one-half of the ingredients present at a level of 1% or more) were tested in rats and hamsters.
Methyl ionone was present in 7 out of the eight mixtures.
Animals were whole-body exposed to the mixtures at 5, 9 or 50 mg/m³.
Exposure was 6 or 13 weeks, 4h daily, 5 days per week.
GLP compliance:
not specified
Limit test:
no
