Ammonium molybdate(VI)

Endpoint summary

Description of key information

Skin sensitization

From the British medical journal 15 November 1975, patch test was performed on 50 patient using Al-test strips to the pads of which were applied the metal allergens. Ammonium molybdate was placed on back and held in place with hypoallergic tape. Patch was kept for 3 days and again the test site was examined on seventh day. No sensitivity was observed for ammonium molybdate, therefore ammonium molybdate (13106-76-8) was determined to be non-sensitizing to human after exposure.

Executive summary:

Patch test was performed on 50 patient using Al-test strips to the pads of which were applied the metal allergens. Ammonium molybdate was placed on back and held in place with hypoallergic tape. Patch was kept for 3 days and again the test site was examined on seventh day.

No sensitivity was observed for ammonium molybdate, therefore ammonium molybdate (13106-76-8) was considered to be non-sensitizing to human after exposure.

Endpoint conclusion

Endpoint conclusion:

no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)

Additional information:

In different studies, ammonium molybdate (13106-76-8) has been investigated for potential of skin sensitization to a greater or lesser extent. The studies are based on in vivo experiments in human for target chemical ammonium molybdate (13106-76-8).

From the British medical journal 15 November 1975, patch test was performed on 50 patient using Al-test strips to the pads of which were applied the metal allergens. Ammonium molybdate was placed on back and held in place with hypoallergic tape. Patch was kept for 3 days and again the test site was examined on seventh day. No sensitivity was observed for ammonium molybdate, therefore ammonium molybdate (13106-76-8) was determined to be non-sensitizing to human after exposure.

Supported to the above key study skin sensitization test was performed in humans from MAK Collection for Occupational Health and Safety, 2012. The ammonium molybdate was applied to 63 patients during dental prostheses. Concentration of chemical was 1% after treatment it was observed that the ammonium molybdate (13106-76-8) was determined to be not sensitizing to human.

From the same reference, ammonium molybdate was applied to 50 patients for joint prostheses. Concentration of chemical was 1% after treatment it was observed that the ammonium molybdate (13106-76-8) was found to be not sensitizing to human.

Ammonium molybdate was applied to 128 patients for hip prostheses from the above same reference. Concentration of chemical was 1% of ammonium molybdate and after treatment it was observed that the ammonium molybdate (13106-76-8) was determined to be sensitizing to human.

Thus based on key and supporting data, it can be considered that ammonium molybdate (13106-76-8) was not a skin sensitizer supported by the majority of the above studies. Thus comparing the above annotations with the criteria of CLP regulation, ammonium molybdate (13106-76-8) can be considered as not classified for skin sensitization.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on key and supporting data, it can be considered that ammonium molybdate (13106-76-8) was not a skin sensitizer supported by the majority of the above studies. Thus comparing the above annotations with the criteria of CLP regulation, ammonium molybdate (13106-76-8) can be considered as not classified for skin sensitization.
