Title
Standard Test Method for Conducting a Saturated Vapor Inhalation Study with Rats
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Mar 10, 1999
Scope:
This test method estimates the relative hazard of handling a liquid
chemical, pesticide, or
mixture, where exposure to vapors from spilled liquids may result.
The results of this test method may also be used to evaluate and
compare the relative hazard
between two liquid chemicals.
This test method measures hazard rather than quantitative toxicity
because the amount inhaled is
governed by vapor pressure. It is recognized that the vapor air
mixture in this test is not
completely saturated, although for brevity it is known as saturated
vapor.
The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The
values given in parentheses
are for information only.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,
if any, associated with its
use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to
establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use. See
Section 7 for additional hazard information.
