Inhalation Toxicology of Red and Violet Dye Mixtures. Phase 1. Engineering Report
Abstract
An inhalation exposure facility was developed at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Research Triangle Park, NC, to conduct inhalation exposures of rodents to dye mixtures used by the U.S. Army in the manufacture of smoke munitions. The exposures were to evaluate the health effects of inhaled dye mixtures on rodents and simulate industrial-type exposures in load, assembly, and pack plants. Workers at the plants can accidently come in contact with the dye, by dermal and/or pulmonary exposures. The facility, laboratory equipment and test procedures are described. Keywords: RA3; Animal toxicology exposure facility; Aerosols; Inhalation; Aerosol generation; Anthraquinone dye mixtures; Containment facility.
