Test condition: The relative toxicities of zinc sulfate and ammonium sulfate<br />

were assessed using a streptococcal model. Mice inhaled<br />

varying concentrations of the sulfates for 3 hours and<br />

immediately thereafter were challenged with airborne<br />

streptococcus.<br />

Between 48 and 144 mice were used per treatment group<br />

(ammonium sulfate; 588 mice were used in the control group).<br />

For the experiments with zinc sulfate, between 278 and 599<br />

mice were used per group and 1689 mice were used as<br />

controls.<br />

Statistical methods: chi-square test for mortalities,<br />

Student`s t-test for mean survival time, significance levels<br />
