Administration / exposure
- Route of administration:
- inhalation
- Type of inhalation exposure:
- nose only
- Vehicle:
- air
- Mass median aerodynamic diameter (MMAD):
- >= 2.6 - <= 3 µm
- Geometric standard deviation (GSD):
- >= 1.85 - <= 1.87
- Remark on MMAD/GSD:
- An eight-stage Andersen cascade impactor was used to assess the particle size distribution of the test atmosphere. Samples were withdrawn
from the breathing zone of the animals at two intervals during each exposure. The filter paper collection stages were weighed before and after sampling to determine the mass collected upon each stage. The aerodynamic mass median diameter and geometric standard deviation were determined graphically using two-cycle logarithmic probit axes. - Details on inhalation exposure:
- The exposure chamber, air supply and equipment used to measure particle size distribution, airflow and chamber concentration were the same as used during the pre-test trials and are described below.
- Nose-Only Exposure Chamber: A nose-only inhalation chamber with an internal volume of approximately 6.7 liters (Mini-Nose Only Inhalation Chamber, ADG Developments LTD) was used for exposure. Animals were individually housed in polycarbonate holding tubes which seal to the chamber with an "0" ring during exposure. The base unit terminates the chamber with a 0.5-inch diameter tube for discharged air.
- Air Supply: Filtered air was supplied by an air compressor (JUN-AIR, Model #6-15) to the spray atomization nozzle. Additional compressed mixing air, supplied from a compressed air tank (Airgas), was introduced into the chamber to help uniformly distribute the test atmosphere by creating a vortex at the chamber inlet. Compressed airflow was measured with a Mass Flowmeter (Omega, Model #FMA-5613). Chamber airflow was monitored throughout the exposure period and recorded periodically.
- Ambient Conditions: The temperature and relative humidity within the chamber as well as the room were monitored continuously during each exposure. In-chamber measurements were made with a Humidity-Temperature Indicator (Taylor, Model #5502) and room conditions were measured with a Temperature-Humidity Monitor (Dickson, Model #TH550). Temperature and humidity values were recorded every 15 minutes for the first hour of exposure and every 30 minutes thereafter.
- Atmosphere Generation: The test atmosphere was generated using a1/4 inch JCO atomizer (Spraying Systems Co.), FC3 fluid cap (Robert Miller Associates) and 70SS air cap (Spraying Systems Co.). The test substance was metered to the atomization nozzle through size 13 or 14 Viton tubing, using a peristaltic pump (Master Flex, Model #7520-35).
- Chamber Concentration Measurements: Gravimetric samples were withdrawn at 6 intervals from the breathing zone of the animals during each exposure. Samples were collected using 25 mm glass fiber filters (GF/B Whatman) in a filter holder attached by 1/4, inch tygon tubing to a vacuum pump (Reliance Electric, Model #G557X). Filter papers were weighed before and after collection to determine the mass collected. This value was divided by the total volume of air sampled to determine the chamber concentration. Sample airflows were measured using a Flowmeter (Omega, Model #FMA-5610).
- Exposure Period: For each exposure level, the animals were exposed to the targeted chamber concentration for at least 4 hours. At each level, the exposure period was extended beyond 4 hours to allow the chamber to reach equilibrium (T99). At the end of each exposure period, the generation was tenninated and the chamber was operated for a further 15 minutes with clean air. At the end of this period the animals were removed from the exposure tube. Prior to being returned to their cages, excess test substance was removed from the fur of each animal. - Analytical verification of test atmosphere concentrations:
- yes
- Duration of exposure:
- >= 4 h
- Remarks on duration:
- At each level, the exposure period was extended beyond 4 hours to allow the chamber to reach equilibrium (T99). At the end of each exposure period, the generation was terminated and the chamber was operated for a further 15 minutes with clean air.

- 5 Males and 5 Females (2.04 mg/L)
5 Males (0.52 mg/L) - Control animals:

- Details on study design:
- - Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: All animals were observed for mortality during each exposure period. All animals were observed for mortality during each exposure period. The animals were examined for signs of gross toxicity, and behavioral changes upon removal from the exposure chamber and at least once daily thereafter for up to 14 days or until death occurred. Observations included gross evaluation of skin and fur, eyes and mucous membranes, respiratory, circulatory, autonomic
and central nervous systems, somatomotor activity and behavior pattern. Particular attention was directed to observation of tremors, convulsions, salivation, diarrhea, and coma. Individual body weights of the animals were recorded prior to test substance exposure (initial) and again on Days 7 and 14 (termination) or after death.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: Surviving rats were euthanized via C02 inhalation on Day 14. Gross necropsies were performed on all decedents and euthanized animals. Tissues and organs of the thoracic and abdominal cavities were examined.

At 2.04 mg/L one male died following exposure to the test atmosphere. There were no clinical signs observed for this animal prior to death. Two males died within two days of exposure to the test atmosphere. Prior to death these animals were hypoactive and exhibited abnormal respiration, nasal discharge, facial staining, hunched posture, reduced fecal volume and were cold to touch. - Clinical signs:

- At 0.52 mg/L survival animals gained weight.
At 2.04 mg/L three animals lost weight by Day 7, all animals gained body weight over the 14-day observation period. - Gross pathology:
- At 0.52 mg/L gross necropsy of the decedent revealed extremely red lungs. No gross abnormalities were noted for any of the necropsied animals at the conclusion of the 14-day observation period.
At 2.04 mg/L gross necropsy of the decedent revealed edema and discoloration of the lungs, discoloration of the liver, gas distended yellow intestines and/or rigor mortis. No gross abnormalities were noted for the euthanized animals when necropsied at the conclusion of the 14-day observation period.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 4 based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- Based on the results from an acute inhalation toxicity test conducted in accordance with OECD test guideline 403, it can be concluded that the acute inhalation LC50 is between 0.52 mg/L and 2.04 mg/L in male rats and is greater than 2.04 mg/L in female rats. According to CLP Regulation 1272/2008 classification as Acute Tox. 4, H332 is warranted.
- Executive summary:
In an acute inhalation toxicity study (OECD 403, GLP) groups of young adult male and female rats were exposed by inhalation route to (3E)-dec-3-en-2-one for 4 hours nose only at concentrations of 0.52 and 2.04 mg/L. Animals were observed for 14 days. At the 0.52 mg/L exposure level five males were exposed. One animal died and clinical signs exhibited for the surviving animals included irregular respiration, rales, hunched posture, hypoactivity, reduced fecal volume, facial and/or ano-genital staining. However, these animals recovered by Day 7 gaining body weight and appearing active and healthy for the remainder of the 14-day observation period. Gross necropsy of the decedent revealed extremely red lungs. No gross abnormalities were noted for any of the necropsied animals at the conclusion of the 14-day observation period.
At the 2.04 mg/L exposure level five males and five females were exposed. One male died following exposure to the test atmosphere. Two males died within two days of exposure to the test atmosphere. Following exposure, clinical signs for the surviving animals included hypoactivity, hunched posture, abnormal respiration, reduced fecal volume, nasal and oral discharge and/or facial staining. However, these animals recovered by Day 10 and appeared active and healthy for the remainder of the study. Although three animals lost weight by Day 7, all animals gained body weight over the 14-day observation period. Gross necropsy of the decedent revealed edema and discoloration of the lungs, discoloration of the liver, gas distended yellow intestines and/or rigor mortis. No gross abnormalities were noted for the euthanized animals when necropsied at the conclusion of the 14-day observation period.
Under the conditions of this study, the acute·inhalation LC50 of the test substance is between 0.52 mg/L and 2.04 mg/L in male rats and is greater than 2.04 mg/L in female rats.
