OECD SIDS <strong>LINEAR</strong> <strong>ALKYLBENZENE</strong> <strong>SULFONATE</strong> (<strong>LAS</strong>)<br />

(c)<br />

Type: Dominant lethal assay<br />

Species/strain: mouse (ICR: JCL)<br />

Sex: Female [ ]; Male [X]; Male/Female [ ]; No data [ ]<br />

Administration: oral feed<br />

Exposure period: 9 months<br />

Doses: 0.6% (300 mg/kg bw d)<br />

Results: There were no significant differences in fertility, the mortality of ova and<br />

embryos, the number of surviving fetuses, or the index of dominant lethal<br />

induction between the experimental groups and the control group.<br />

Method: Seven male mice received <strong>LAS</strong> in the diet for 9 months. Each of the male<br />

mice was then mated with 2 female mice that had not been given <strong>LAS</strong>. The<br />

pregnant mice were laparotomized on day 13 of gestation to determine the<br />

numbers of luteal bodies, implantations, surviving fetuses, and dead fetuses.<br />

GLP: Yes [ ] No [X] ? [ ]<br />

Test substance: <strong>LAS</strong><br />

Remarks: Information as cited in the IPCS document.<br />

Reliability: 4 This study is assigned a reliability score of 4 because the original report<br />

was not available for review. However, the study was evaluated by IPCS<br />

prior to inclusion in their criteria document.<br />

(d)<br />

Type: Micronucleus assay<br />

Species/strain: mouse: (ddy)<br />

Sex: Female [ ]; Male [X]; Male/Female [ ]; No data [ ]<br />

Administration: Intraperitoneal injection<br />

Exposure period: single dose<br />

Doses: 100 mg/kg bw<br />

Results: There were no differences in the incidences of polychromatic erythrocytes<br />

with micronuclei in the bone marrow cells between the treated group and the<br />

control group.<br />

Method: Three male ddy mice were each given a single i.p. injection of 100 mg/kg bw<br />
