PG - 191-6 AB - Timed-pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed whole body to N,N-diethylethanolamine vapor for 6 h per day on gestational days (GD) 6-15 at targeted concentrations of 33, 66 or 100 ppm. Dams were sacrificed on GD 21. There was no maternal mortality in any exposed groups. Maternal toxicity observed in the 100 ppm group included dry rales, reduced body weight (9.5%) on GD 15 and reduced weight gain (48%) during exposure. Suppression of body weight gain was also noted in the 66 ppm group during GD 12-15. There were no effects of treatment on gestational parameters, including pre- and post-implantation loss or sex ratio. Mean fetal body weights in treated groups were comparable to controls. There was no increase in the incidence of total malformations (external, visceral or skeletal) or individually by category. The incidence of a single developmental variation (hypoplastic bones of the forepaw) in the 100 ppm groups was statistically significantly decreased relative to that of controls. The no-observed-adverse-effect level was 33 ppm for maternal toxicity but greater than 100 ppm for embryofetal toxicity and teratogenicity.
