EIGHTEEN MONTH STATUS SUMMARY TO MANUFACTURING CHEMISTS ASSOCIATION CHRONIC VAPOR INHALATION TOXICITY STUDY WITH
VINYL CHLORIDE (ETHYLENE DERIVED) IN ALBINO RATS, ALBINO MICE AND GOLDEN HAMSTERS. MAY 13, 1975 IBT NO. 663-03222
I. Introduction A chronic vapor inhalation toxicity study with Vinyl Chloride (Ethylene
Derived) was initiated on September 10, 1973, and terminated on September 10, 1974. Animals were then placed on observation. A summary of all data obtained through the eighteenth month is reported herein.

Exposure of mice to Vinyl Chloride was terminated after nine months
of testing . At this time all surviving mice were placed under observation
for the remainder of the investigation with the exception of the T-III
group (2,500 ppm) which was sacrificed during the eleventh month.
Rats and hamsters were exposed to Vinyl Chloride for twelve months
before being placed under a non-treated observation period.

No significant dose related body weight effects were noted among any
of the species tested. However, possible mortality effects among high and
middle dose level animals have been noted.
Hematologic studies were conducted on a selected number of rats after
18 months with no adverse effects being noted.

The daily range and mean of the Vinyl Chloride concentrations in
each test chamber from exposure number 153 through the end of the
twelfth testing month are shown in Table I. Data previous to this were
presented in the seven-month status report. The overall average daily
vapor concentrations were calculated to be 49.0, 206, 2517 and 2472 ppm
for the T-I through T-IV chambers, respectively. Below is a summary of
mean values for each sample port in each chamber; T-IV chamber had only
one sample port.

Marked increases in mortality were noted after the ninth month in
both T-III male and female rats. The T-IV group which is composed
of only females, and the females in the T-H group showed increases in
mortality after the tenth month.
Effects in mortality rates were also observed in mice. Mortality in
all three test groups of mice were significantly higher than that of the
control group. This phenomenon became apparent among females following
the seventh test month, and was noted among males during the ninth
month.
A significant increase in mortality was noted among T-III male and female
hamsters during the twelfth month of testing.

from the control group and from treatment groups T and H are presented
in Tables VIII and IX.
Mean values for total leukocyte and erythrocyte counts, hemoglobin
concentration and hematocrit of male and female rats in treatment groups
I and II were normal when these values were compared to those of their
respective control groups after 18 months of treatment.
Differential leukocyte counts were done on individual animals that had
high total leukocyte counts, as follows: 3 male control rats, 4 male rats
in T-I, one female rat in T-I and one male rat in T-H, These data are
presented in Table X.
