General Information

Name:
Slags, silicomanganese-manufg.
Implementation:
EU
Type of classification:
self-classification
Remarks:

A guideline and GLP compliant prenatal development toxicity study identified no effects of the read-across substance FeMn slag on the pregnant rat or on survival or development of foetuses after dosing up to the limit dose of 1000 mg/kg/day.

Contrary to the rat prenatal development data, in the rabbit prenatal development study in the read-across substance, adverse foetal effects were observed at all dose levels (100, 300 or 800 mg/kg/day), with minor skeletal ossification delays also apparent at 300 or 800 mg/kg/day. In view of the nature and incidence of major foetal abnormalities detected in all treated groups, a NOAEL for embryo-foetal development was not established. However, it should be noted that the morphological changes in foetuses were disparate and without a clear dose-response when the individual incidences of anomalies were considered on a litter or foetal basis. With regard to maternal toxicity, effects were largely comparable to controls at all dose levels, however, clear vehicle tolerability issues were apparent at all dose levels, demonstrated by 5 premature deaths (23 %) in the vehicle (Corn oil; 2 mL/kg dose volume) control group due to gastro-intestinal disturbance, inappetence and embryo-foetal deaths, abortions and/or litter resorptions. Though maternal clinical signs, body weight gains and food intake were comparable to controls in all groups, poor diet consumption reflecting GI disturbance in all groups, including controls, reduces the reliability of these data. Whilst post-implantation loss was marginally increased in females dosed at 800 mg/kg/day, the higher incidence of deaths in the controls which also had marked embryo-foetal deaths has biased these data because the premature decedent data are excluded from the mean values.

Based on the above, the registered substance is classified as Catergory 2 (H361) for developmental toxicity. This reflects the uncertainty in the reliability of the rabbit prenatal evidence, with adverse effects only observed in one species with confounding vehicle effects, and no maternal or developmental effects of prenatal exposure to the read-across substance FeMn slag in the other species.  This is considered to lower the concern for human relevance.
