<strong>AMMONIUM</strong> <strong>SULFATE</strong><br />

5. TOXICITY ID: <strong>7783</strong>-<strong>20</strong>-2<br />

DATE: 18.04.<strong>20</strong>06<br />

Strain: New Zealand white Sex:<br />

Result:<br />

The response of respiratory region clearance depend on total<br />

exposure, i.e., some combination form of c x t and was also<br />

related to relative acidity when H2SO4, NH4HSO4 and ammonium<br />

sulfate were investigated. Ammonium sulfate exposure (2 mg/m2)<br />

to 5 rabbits for 2h per day for 14 days resulted in no<br />

statistically significant change in clearance. Respiratory<br />

region clearance was measured by evaluating the retention of<br />

85 Sr-tagged polystyrene latex microspheres (3.5 um MMAD) by<br />

daily profile scanning.<br />

Reliability: (2) valid with restrictions<br />

No standard study, but well documented<br />

Flag:<br />

Critical study for SIDS endpoint<br />

16-JUL-<strong>20</strong>04 (169)<br />

Endpoint:<br />

Cytotoxicity<br />

Remark:<br />

Cytotoxicity of ammonium sulfate in aqueous medium was<br />

tested in different mammalian cell lines (HeLa, mouse<br />

lymphoma (ML) and Buffalo green monkey (BGM) cell lines).<br />

The percentage of survival at nominal concentrations of 1 ug<br />

NH3-N/mL was 76, 65 and 66% for HeLa, BGM and ML,<br />

respectively. The survival rate at 0.5 ug NH3-N/mL<br />

was 84, 79 and 84%. Buffalo green monkey cell line (derived<br />

from a non tumor tissue) was more sensitive than the tumor<br />

derived cell lines. The authors concluded that ammonium<br />

sulfate was not severely toxic to the cell lines tested.<br />

Reliability: (4) not assignable<br />

insufficient information to allow assessment of reliability<br />

Endpoint:<br />

other: the effect on clearance from respiratory<br />

region or lung<br />

Result:<br />

In rats, the clearance of radioactively labeled insoluble<br />

particles was not influenced by exposure to ammonium sulfate<br />

(3.6 mg/m3; MMAD 0.4 um) at low (30-40%) or high (>80%)<br />

relative humidities for 4 hours. Exposure to both H2SO4<br />

(MMAD 1.0 um) and Fe2(SO4)3 (MMAD 0.4 um) significantly<br />

retarded clearance during a period of 2 to 17 days after<br />

exposure at low, but not high relative humidity.<br />

Reliability: (2) valid with restrictions<br />

no standard study<br />

14-JUN-<strong>20</strong>04 (116)<br />

Endpoint: other: subchronic exposure to a mixture of O3, S02,<br />

and Ammonium sulfate on host defenses of mice<br />

Species:<br />

mouse<br />

Strain: CD-1 Sex:<br />

Remark:<br />

210<br />

Mice exposed 5h/d, 5d/wk up to 103 d, to 0.2 mg ozone/m3, or<br />

to a mixture of ozone, 13.2 mg SO2/m3, and 1.04 mg Ammonium<br />

sulfate aerosol/m3 showed no significantly greater<br />
