Acute Inhalation Toxicity Study

Acute inhalation toxicity studies are conducted to evaluate the harmful effects of a single or short-term exposure to a substance through the respiratory system. These studies help determine how toxic a chemical, gas, vapor, aerosol, or dust can be when inhaled, typically within a 24-hour period. The results are essential for risk assessment, safety labeling, and establishing occupational exposure limits.

• Identify toxic effects of airborne substances after short-term exposure

• Determine LC50 values (lethal concentration for 50% of test subjects)

• Assess respiratory irritation or damage to lung tissue

• Support regulatory classification for transportation and workplace safety

• Guide emergency response and first aid measures

These studies are vital for industries that manufacture or handle volatile or airborne chemicals to ensure safe use, handling, and compliance with health regulations.
