Teratogenic Effects
Developmental effects and Teratogenicity: According the the Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances (RTECS reference - Murry et al, "Embryrotoxicity of Inhaled Sulfuric Acid Aerosol in Mice and Rabbits", Journal of Environmental Science and Health, Part C, Vol. 13, pages 251-266, 1979), musculoskeletal developmental abnormalities were found in rabbits at a dose of 20 mg/m3 for 7 hrs. However, REPROTOX and Shepard's Catalog of Teratogenic Agents, citing this same study, stated that inhalation of sulfuric acid fumes did not increase congential anomalies in the offspring of treated preganant mice or rabbits. Furthermore, the Hazard Substance Data Bank (HSDB) also stated that in a developmental toxicity study conducted under a method similar to OECD test Guideline 414 that no significant effects on mean numbers of implants/dam, live fetuses/liter or resorptions/litter were observed in mice and rabbits exposed by inhalation to sulfuric acid aerosol at 5 and 20 mg/m3 during gestation and therefore could not be considered embryotoxic, or fetoxic.
