Immunotoxicity
Administrative data
Description of key information
Orale exposure:
After three months treatment with Al2(SO4)3 in a dose of 300 mg/kg bw., hemoglobin and hematocrit levels of Al and Al+Vit E groups were significantly decreased compared to the control. Reductions in serum haemoglobin (14%) and haematocrit (13%) were described. There was an increase in the levels of liver iron (59%) and ferritin with Al, but Vit E had no effect on the changes of all blood and liver parameters caused by Al. From the results presented in this report, a Lowest Observed Adverse Effect Level (LOAEL) for Aluminium sulfate of 300 mg/kg/day was established, based on significantly decreased hemoglobin and hematocrit levels of Al .
Inhalation exposure:
Several animal studies have found histological alterations in the lymphoreticular system, in particular granulomas in the hilar lymph nodes; these effects are secondary to the pulmonary effects (Steinhagen et al. 1978; Thomson et al. 1986) and resulted from the removal of aluminum from the lungs by alveolar macrophages.
Dermal exposure:
No studies were located regarding immunological/lymphoreticular effects in animals after dermal exposure to various forms of aluminum.

Dermal exposure:
No studies were located regarding immunological/lymphoreticular effects in animals after dermal exposure to various forms of aluminium.
For dermal exposure we taken that:
-the average weight of rats is 250g (200-300g),
-the dose is applied over an area which is approximately 10% of the total body surface=0.025 kg
corrected dermal LOAEL= oral LOAEL
300 mg/kg bw/dw 0.025 kg =
LOAELrat 7.5 mg/kg bw/day
Justification for classification or non-classification
There are conclusive but not suffcient data for the classification of substance Aluminium sulphate with regard to immunotoxicity.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
