Administration / exposure
- Route of administration:

- Details on exposure:
- The chronic toxicity was studied in a reproduction experiment on white mice. Ten mice received aluminium chloride in their drinking water, receiving on the average 19.3 mg Al/kg./day. They were compared with to control mice. The experiment lasted 180 to 390 days, during which weight increases, number of litters, and number of off-spring were recorded.
- Details on mating procedure:
- The weanlings were treated from 4 weeks of age like their parents. At the end of the experiment the animals were killed by decapitation, the blood was examined for changes in the red cell count, and the liver, spleen, and kidneys were examined histologically.

PARAMETERS EXAMINED
The following parameters were examined in [F1 / F2 / F3] offspring: yes
There were no significant differences in the numbers of litters or off-spring between the treated and control mice. Growth was retarded and was dependent on the intake of aluminium, but the effect did not appear in the first generation or in the first litter. The subsequent litters manifested a very marked growth retardation, as did those of the third generation
GROSS EXAMINATION OF DEAD PUPS:no - Postmortem examinations (parental animals):
- The weanlings were treated from 4 weeks of age like their parents. At the end of the experiment the animals were killed by decapitation, the blood was examined for changes in the red cell count, and the liver, spleen, and kidneys were examined histologically.
- Postmortem examinations (offspring):
- The weanlings were treated from 4 weeks of age like their parents. At the end of the experiment the animals were killed by decapitation, the blood was examined for changes in the red cell count, and the liver, spleen, and kidneys were examined histologically.
- Statistics:
- An analysis of variance (Weber, 1964) established that, under the conditions of our experiment, weight variations could be accounted for by aluminium uptake (p < 0.001). The differences in the course of weight plots for successive generations and litters were also statistically Significant (p <0.01).

Any other information on results incl. tables
There were no significant differences in the numbers of
litters or off-spring between the treated and control
mice. Growth was retarded and was dependent on the intake
of aluminium, but the effect did not appear in the first
generation or in the first litter. The subsequent litters
manifested a very marked growth retardation, as did those
of the third generation. An analysis of variance
established that, under the conditions of our experiment,
weight variations could be accounted for by aluminium
uptake (P < 0.001). The differences in the course of weight
plots for successive generations and litters were also
statistically significant (P < 0.01).
The erythrocyte counts and haemoglobin levels in the
first and last generations did not differ significantly
from those in the controls; and no pathological changes
could be found in the tissues examined.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The NOAEL (No Observed Adverse Effect Level) for effects on off-spring growth was 310 mg/kg/bw/day.
Growth was retarded and was dependent on the intake of aluminium, but the effect did not appear in the first generation or in the first litter. The subsequent litters manifested a very marked growth retardation, as did those of the third generation.
