Perchlorate

REPRODUCTIVE AND DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY


  • Oral (drinking water) two-generation reproduction study in rats. Conducted by Argus Research Laboratory, Inc. in Horsham, Pennsylvania. Funded by the Perchlorate Study Group. This study evaluated the potential for perchlorate to cause reproductive effects and was designed to meet U.S. EPA testing guidelines. It reduces uncertainty associated with an incomplete database. Study has been completed and has been submitted to the U.S. EPA.
  • Oral (drinking water) developmental toxicity in rabbits (Segment II). Conducted by Argus Research Laboratory, Inc. in Horsham, Pennsylvania. Funded by the Perchlorate Study Group. This study evaluates the potential for perchlorate to cause developmental effects and was designed to meet U.S. EPA testing guidelines. It reduces uncertainty associated with an incomplete database. The protocols for the dose range-finding study and full study are below. Study has been completed and has been submitted to the U.S. EPA.
  • Neurobehavioral Developmental Study in rats. Conducted by Argus Research Laboratory, Inc. in Horsham, Pennsylvania. Funded by the U.S. Air Force. The neurobehavioral developmental study was designed to meet U.S. EPA testing guidelines and addresses the potential for perchlorate to affect neurological development and learning after fetal/neonatal exposure. Study has been completed and submitted to the U.S. EPA.
  • Effects of Pre- and Neonatal Hypothyroidism Induced by Maternal Ammonium Perchlorate on the Development of Motor Activity in Rat Pups. Conducted by Naval Health Research Center Toxicology Detachment, (Dayton, Ohio). Funded by the U.S. Air Force. This study was designed to help determine if increased motor activity is an effect of perchlorate exposure. The study is designed to meet U.S. EPA testing guidelines.
