Abstract
Chloropentafluorobenzene (CPFB) has been identified as a candidate simulant for nonpersistent chemical warfare agents. Acute toxicity studies have shown that CPFB has limited adverse effects on laboratory animals. A 21-day inhalation study of rats and mice to 2.5, 0.8, and 0.25 mg CPFB/liter resulted in reduced weight gain in male and female rats exposed at the high concentration only and identified the liver as a potential target organ. This multiconcentration inhalation study was designed to detect a no-observable-effect level associated with repeated exposure to CPFB. Male and female rats and mice were exposed to 250, 50, or 10 mg CPFB/m3 (0.25, 0.05, or 0.01 mg CPFB/liter) for 13 weeks. No treatment-related effects on body weight, clinical chemistries, mortality, absolute or relative organ weight or histopathology were noted.
