1 Male and female Fischer 344 rats were exposed to 2,4- pentanedione (2,4-PD) vapour acutely (4 h) at 1265 or 1811 ppm, or for 6 h day-1 , 5 days a week for 14 weeks to 0, 101, 307 or 650 ppm. 2 Mortality occurred during or within a few hours of the acute exposures (10% at 1265 ppm; 70% at 1811 ppm). No animal had gross or microscopic brain lesions. 3 All female rats (20) and 10 of 30 male rats exposed to 650 ppm 2,4-PD vapour died by the 38th study day (29 exposures); there were no subsequent male deaths. Twenty-five of the 30 animals that died, and seven of the 15 males that survived, had light microscopical evidence of degenerative lesions, principally within the caudate/putamen nuclei, nuclei of the cerebellar medulla, and vestibular nuclei. Less frequently involved, in animals that died, were various regions of the cerebral cortex. The early histopathological lesions, seen from the 16th study day (12 exposures) to the 38th study day (28 exposures) were characterised by malacia. When present, lesions in male rats surviving the 14-weeks of 650 ppm 2, 4-PD expo sure were characterised by malacia and gliosis. No peripheral nerve lesions were seen by light or transmis sion electron microscopy. 4 Neither mortality nor neuropathology were seen in rats subchronically exposed to 101 or 307 ppm, 2,4-PD vapour.
