Iron
No effects of ferric sulfate on mortality of Northern bobwhite quail (Colinus virginianus) were observed at a dose of 2250 mg Fe/kg in a 2 week duration test in which the substance was administered via oral capsules (Grimes & Jaber 1986). This information was obtained from the US EPA ECOTOX Ecotoxicology Database. The study is unpublished and could not be reviewed further. It was therefore assigned Reliability 4. Studies reported in the database have however been subject to expert review. No significant effects on growth or survival in Bantam chickens (Gallus domesticus) were detected following two weeks dietary exposure to 1000 ppm (i.e. mg/kg) of ferrous sulfate (as Fe) in a study assigned reliability 2 (Blalock & Hill 1988).
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
