D. Subchronic Toxicity 1. Oral yu-L)ay
Albino Rat
The test compound was administered in
the diet at 1%, 3% and 10% levels.
There were no study related mortalities or untoward behavioral reactions. Growth and food intake were normal. No treatment related differences between test and control animals were observed in clinical blood chemistry, hemotology, urinalysis, gross pathology and histopathology at all feed levels. Slightly increased liver weight was observed at the 10% dietary level but not at the lower levels.
2. Dermal 28-Day Exposure
Albino Rabbit
At levels of 500 and 2000
mg/kg there was practically no
irritation with repeated exposure.
There were no significant adverse
effects noted in the following areas:
Body weight, hematology, blood
chemistry, urinalysis, and pathology.
Statistically significant lower weight
of gonads was observed in females of
both test groups and lower liver weight
in females at the 2000 mg/kg level. The
differences were within the general
range for young rabbits of this strain
and age.

Result
Exposure levels were 640 and 1524 mg/cubic meter. The following parameters were normal: Body weight, blood chemistry, clinical chemistry and urinalysis, and gross pathological examination. Absolute liver and lung weights and lung to body weight ratios were higher than normal in all or some of the test groups. Some histopathological alterations of the lung tissues were observed. These types of changes are frequently observed with exposure to organochlorine compounds and are normally reversible when exposure is terminated.
Dechlorane Plus is degraded under aerobic conditions but not under anaerobic conditions.
No deaths were observed in 96-hour static and flow through tests at applied concentrations of up to 100 ppm.
Dechlorane Plus did not show a mutagenic response in the following tests: Standard Ames Assay (with and without activation), Ames Assay on Urine from rats treated with Dechlorane Plus, and Mouse Lymphoma Forward Mutation Assay (with and without activation).
