Laboratory Supplement to the Final Study Report on the Developmental Toxicity Evaluation for Sodium Chlorate (CAS No. 7775-09-9) Administered by Gavage to New Zealand White Rabbits on Gestational Days 6 through 29

摘要

The National Toxicology Program (NTP) is made up of four charter agencies of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS): the National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health; the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), National Institutes of Health; the National Center for Toxicological Research (NCTR), Food and Drug Administration; and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control. The NTP develops, evaluates, and disseminates scientific information about potentially toxic and hazardous chemicals. This knowledge is used for protecting the health of the American people and for the primary prevention of disease. These studies are designed and conducted to characterize and evaluate the potential of chemicals to adversely affect embryonic and fetal development of laboratory animals. Chemicals selected for NTP toxicology studies are chosen primarily on the bases of human exposure, level of production, and chemical structure. Selection per se is not an indicator of a chemical's potential to adversely affect early development of animals.
