GENERATION OF TEST ATMOSPHERE / CHAMBER DESCRIPTION
Vapors of the test substance were generated using 1-, 2-, and 3-jet Collison nebulizer for Exposure Systems 2, 3, and 4, respectively as follows: Using a regulator compressed nitrogen was supplied to the nebulizer to generate an aerosol of the test substance. Additional test substance was manually added to the nebulizer during the exposure as needed. Prior to entering the nose-only system, all test substance aerosol was vaporized or removed by a liquid trap. A siphon was placed in-line prior to the nose-only system to adjust the concentration as needed. Using a rotameter-type flow meter, a portion of the test substance atmosphere was siphoned to the in-house vacuum source. Filtered supply air was mixed with the test substance atmosphere prior to entering the nose-only system. Control animals were exposed to compressed nitrogen mixed with filtered supply air using an exposure regimen equivalent to the test substance exposures. Aerosol formation was not observed in any test substance exposure system.

TEST ATMOSPHERE
- Brief description of analytical method used: Analyzed exposure concentrations were determined at approximately 35-minute intervals using a gas chromatograph (GC)
- Samples taken from breathing zone: yes

Analytical verification of test atmosphere concentrations:
yes
Duration of exposure:
6 h
Remarks on duration:
The test substance or compressed air (control group) was administered as a daily 6-hour nose-only in halation exposure for 5 consecutive days.
Concentrations:
Nominal: 81, 169, 219 ppm; Targeted: 42, 84, 168 ppm; Actual: 40, 89, 168 ppm

The test substance exposure concentrations were selected by the Sponsor based on toxicity information from structurally related materials and levels needed to provide adequate safety margins based on estimated human exposure levels.
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5/sex/dose
Control animals:
yes
Remarks:
concurrent control group was exposed to filtered air on a comparable regimen
Details on study design:
All animals were observed twice daily, once in the morning and once in the afternoon, for mortality and moribundity.

Clinical examinations were performed 3 times daily, prior to exposure, during exposure (at the approximate midpoint), and approximately 0-1 hour following the end of exposure (designated as 1-hour post-exposure for report presentation purposes).

Individual body weights were recorded during the pretest period, prior to randomization, and prior to the first (study day 0) and last (study day 4) exposures. Final body weights (fasted) were recorded on the day of the scheduled necropsy.

Individual food consumption was recorded for 1 week during the pretest period and on study days 0 and 4.

A complete necropsy was conducted on all animals. The following were collected: kidneys, larynx, liver, and lungs.

Liver and lung weights were recorded at scheduled necropsy.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Based on the results of this study, exposure of rats to the test substance via 6-hour nose-only inhalation for 5 consecutive days at exposure concentrations ≤168 ppm did not result in any test substance-related effects or dose-limiting toxicity. Therefore, the no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) for nose-only inhalation exposure of the test substance to rats for 5 consecutive days was 168 ppm, the highest exposure concentration tested.
Executive summary:

The test substance was administered via nose-only inhalation for 6 hours per day for 5 consecutive days to 3 groups (Groups 2, 3, and 4) of rats. Target exposure concentrations were 42, 84, and 168 ppm for Groups 2, 3, and 4, respectively. A concurrent control group (Group 1) was exposed to filtered air on a comparable regimen. Each group consisted of 5 animals/sex. On the day following the fifth exposure, all animals were euthanized and subjected to necropsy.

The animals were observed twice daily for mortality and moribundity. Clinical examinations were performed 3 times daily (prior to exposure, at the approximate exposure midpoint, and approximately 0 to 1 hour following the end of exposure), and detailed physical examinations were performed for randomization and during the exposure phase on study days 0 and 4. Individual body weights and food consumption were recorded at least weekly during the pretest phase and on study days 0 and 4. Complete necropsies were performed on all animals, and the liver, lungs, and kidneys were weighed at the scheduled necropsy. The kidneys, larynx, liver, lungs, nasal cavity (with turbinates), pharynx, trachea, and urinary bladder were examined microscopically from all animals in the control and 168 ppm group (Groups 1 and 4, respectively). Gross lesions were examined microscopically from all animals (when possible).

There were no test substance-related effects on survival or clinical observations. There were no apparent test substance-related effects on body weights, body weight changes, food consumption, organ weights, or macroscopic and microscopic findings at any exposure concentration.

Based on the results of this study, exposure of rats to the test substance via 6-hour nose-only inhalation for 5 consecutive days at exposure concentrations≤168 ppm did not result in any test substance-related effects or dose-limiting toxicity. Therefore, the no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) for nose-only inhalation exposure of the test substance to rats for 5 consecutive days was 168 ppm, the highest vapour exposure concentration tested. Applying the ideal gas law, the NOAEL for nose-only inhalation exposure of the test substance to rats for 5 consecutive days was 2 mg/L, the highest vapour exposure concentration tested.
