Review and Audit of IBT No. 663-03222, Chronic Vapor inhalation. Toxicity Study with Vinyl Chloride (Ethylene D^ri-ved) in Albino Rats, Albino Mice and. Golden Hamsters for the Manufacturing Chemists Association
^ Th& review and audit of this study was conducted at
IBT's offices in Northbrook.,. Hi* April 14 to April 18* 1980.
The review and audit on. this- study concentrated on the con
duct and monitoring- of tha exposures.. However-* attention
was also devoted ta the source of the animals and body
~.i- weight data as. they affected fate and mortality. Xu addi-- 'JpF*'
... ~ tiony the review and audit included inspection of hand
T. '
written observation, books reflecting- exposure concentrations,
as well as. gas chromatographic charts where they were avail
able* hand written and computer body weight printouts:* hand
written mortality logs* hand written observations and cor
respondence.
CORRESPONDENCE* PROTOCOL AND TIMETABLE
____
The timetable indicates the exposures were to be ini
tiated on. 9/10/73 for the T-I, T-XX and T-riX groups and on
10/1/73 for the T-IV groups. The termination, of the exposures
for the first three groups was to be at 9/8/74 and for the
T-IV group at 9/27/74. The animals were then to be held for
a year prior to terminal sacrifice. A letter dated June IS,

1973 from Dr. Torkelson of Dow reflects a site visit was made by the MCA. Task. Force, visiting- the Decatur research labs of IBT where the study was conducted. Questions were raised about: the adequacy of equipment/ the exposures main-- tainedr the. exposure concentrations/ the question of contam ination and record keeping. & major concern was raised about the adequacy of the analyses and record keeping. Hand written, notes alongside the margin of this letter indicate that certain corrective actions- were taken at IBT. Z was mrbTe ta tell whether there were any other documented site visits:. In addition, a progress report issued October 13, : 1973 after about a month, of exposure, reflects adjustments that were made to compensate for the issues that were raised during the MCA. site visit. MffMSKS. HP05INS AND HUSBANDRF
The animals for this study were supplied by the Charles River Breeding Laboratories. Unfortunately/ we are not able to identify specific animal receipts with this project. However/- we were able to identify from September invoices receipts of hamsters as replacements without charge for ani mals that were dead on arrival in the August shipment. We were able to identify an additional receipt of hamsters in early November, 1973, two months after the study started., which indicated 130 males and 130 females were received at that time.

Inspection of the body weights early in the study in
dicates despite the report not reflecting the mortalities
that there was a rather high mortality in. the hamsters early
in the study. At four and five months there were extensive
replacements of the hamster groups.
.-
? The *WiiwT were ear punched, and the toes removed so
the animals could be individually identified. This was to
;
allow for Identification for individual body weight determin
ation and i
qty of when the animals diedr because
fehe animals were group housed in groups of 1--5 in stainless
steel cages. Inspection of some of the hand written notes
shows the layout of the rats in the fade and; indicates that
extra animat were to be spaced evenly throughout the rack.
In addition,, another hand written sheet shows the arrangement
of the gang cages in the chambers. There were 18 gangr cages,
ff rats eachr to equal 144 rats. However, the protocol;-only
v.?
-w *
f i
calls for 100 rats at each level. This procedure allows for
ample opportunities for replacement and substitution.
Despite the fact that the animals were identified by ear
punching and toe removal, most of the rima* the animals were, not
weighed individually but rather by the cage, e,g, r 1--5 animals.
Numerous hand written notes showing the arrangement of some
of the animal a in the racks reflect the animals excaped or
were cannibalised, along with mortality dates for the remain
ing individual animals ,

VnrgL CHLORIDE, SOURCE, IDENTITY
Vinyl chloride (ethylene based) appears to have been,
supplied as, e.g., containers in excess, of 500 pounds, by
PPG: Industries, Industrial Chemical Division, Lake Charles,
LA. A letter from W. S. Braybill of PPG to Dr* John Goode
of Bio-Test in Decatur indicates that one cylinder would be
required per month* Heel sample analyses front the Bio--Test
residues., were also performed by PPG at the. Lake Charles, LA
operation and thosia that were available appeared to be in
good agreement with the new sample analyses supplied, to Bio-- . ^
Test.
there was no inventory log at IBT for
vinyl chloride. PPG personnel should be asked for account-
ability of the vinyl chloride sent to IBT. In addition,
they would also have records of the returns for heel analyses.
GENERATION OF VINYL CHLORIDE. VAPORS
^
The vinyl chloride supply tanks were kept in an explos-- 'f ;f' `'-V
ion room. The material was piped to the test chambers through
thin-walled stainless steel tubing. Before the thin-walled
tubing delivered the vinyl chloride, to the chambers, it was-
connected to a micrometering valve and a. glass rotameter to. -
control and monitor the supply of vapor to each chamber.
Vapor--air mixture entered the top of the inhalation chamber,
circulated through the
and was exhausted at the bot
tom. Unfortunately, we were unable to find a daily log for

in September of 1973,. covering the range from 20 to 100 ppm.
standardization and from SO to 400 ppm for the 200 ppm
standardization and from.400--4000 ppm for the 2500 ppm level*
Standardizations were performed at approximately weekly in
tervals prior to. that point where the automatic sampling
system was hooked up to the on-line gas chromatograph record
er. The initial samples from the chambers for the first part
of the study (six: weeks) were obtained by use. of grab- samples
which were then analyzed by the gas chromatograph. , ffe were
unable to find any record of daily sample analyses being .
taken in the research books for the month of October, 1973,
the second month of the stndy^- other than ranges and mean
concentrations* There also was no evidence of chamber temp erature or humidity being recorded.
General Observations

The following observations were obtained by inspection
of research log books which present means and ranges of exposure concentrationstime; interval sampling for the gas
chromatographic concentrations and charts, as well as the

Specific Exposure Observations The- following notations were associated with- the spe
cific exposures and may also be used together with the ^ nH*i a-hirm chamber- concentrations, presented in Table I*. The exposure concentrations presented in Table I are those presented by XBT and one can see with the use of these spe cific notations that the values presented in Table X are not an accurate reflection, in many instances, of the exposure concentrations or are based on minimal supportive, analytical, data.

Animal fr.641, T-XXX male, was found dead at: 369 days, according to the report. Hand written P.M. tabulation sheet shows the animal to be dead by 8/6/74, which is about 33Q days into the study. The necropsy sheet shows the animal's date of death- as 9/3/74 (359 days) . These differences-have not been explained.
In the case of animal #649, the necropsy sheet and the report shows that the animal died at 402 days. The sheet presenting post mortem tabulations, dated 9/11/74, however, shows the *nim*-i as being dead. This date would be approxi mately one year into the study.
Animal #664 was reported as having died at 372 days.
*
This animal is shown as being dead 7/17/74 on the necropjs sheet and as being dead on a hand written tabulation on 8/9/74 Therefore, the 373 day mortality presented in the report is incorrect .and was probably 311 days.
Animal #672, shown in the report as having died at 310 days, is also shown on a post mortem mortality tabulation dated 7/26/74 as being dead by that time. A necropsy date of 7/16/74 for this anima 1 is- noted. Therefore, the fate of this animal appears to be correct.
m the case of animal #667, the report indicates days on test as 383 but the necropsy sheet is dated 6/27/74, re flecting less than a year on test. A post mortem log dated 6/26/74 also shows the animal, as being dead. Therefore, the date presented as days on test in the report is. in error.

C0NCLU5IQNS An intensive. audit of certain aspects of IBT No, 633-03222,
chronic vapor inhalation toxicity study with, vinyl chloride, devoted to inspection of exposure concentrations and pertin ent body weight and mortality logs indicates the following: (a) There are numerous evidences of replacement of animals
in this: study. There appears to be an exceptionally high replacement of the hamsters. Alsobecause of the dif-- - ferences in body weights and mortalities noted in' the . T--IH rats, it is possible that there was major substi tution of the animals between the sixth and seventh

months of the study and perhaps at .12 and 13 .months. There are evidences of extra animals being available for . the various species in the study. The accountability for the airinw-Ta and the mortalities show substantial discrepancies, (b) The monitoring of the exposure concentrations and the conduct of the exposures shows poor technique and selec tion of data in many instances- hut does seem to indicate .that a three-level study was conducted, even though the- . swings in exposure concentrations periodically may have been SO--100%. The instances of actual overlap, between exposure concentrations at the T-I level and. the. T--II level were relatively infrequent and there do. not appear

to be any real instances of overlap between the T-Il and T--III levels.. (c) The animals reported to have brain, tumors indicate discrepancies as to their actual dates of death versus those reported in interim reports and ih some cases on the necropsy sheets*
m summary, the study was conducted in an extremely sloppy fashion and one would have to look at any of the re-- _ suits more from, a qualitative standpoint than, a quantitative
standpoint*
