Effects on fertility
Description of key information
A screening test for reproductive/developmental toxicity is not required based on the information requirements outlined in the ECHA REACH fact sheet of 15/09/2009 (ref: ECHA-09-FS-05-EN), as three prenatal developmental toxicity studies (rat, mouse and hamster) with amorphous calcium silicates are included. No developmental effects were observed in these studies.
Effect on fertility: via oral route
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed
Effect on fertility: via inhalation route
- Endpoint conclusion:

No adverse effect related to the treatment with hydrated calcium silicate was detected in rats, hamsters and mice. Malformations recorded in the fetuses were comparable to sham-exposed controls. Treatment with the teratogen aspirin resulted in several malformations of the pups. Under the conditions of this test, the NOAEL for both maternal and developmental toxicity for the test item was considered to be 1600 mg/kg bw/day, the highest dose applied.No adverse effect related to the treatment with hydrated calcium silicate was detected in rats, hamsters and mice.

- Conclusions:

- Executive summary:
In a developmental toxicity study, hydrated calcium silicate (FDA 71-4, fine white powder) was administered by gavage to groups of female pregnant golden hamsters, during gestation, from Day 6 to Day 15, at dose levels of 16, 74, 350 and 1600 mg/kg bw. Sham-exposed animals were used as negative control and aspirin was given at 150 mg/kg bw to an additional group, as a positive control. Bodyweights were recorded on Days 0, 8, 10 and 14 of gestation. Clinical observations and food consumption were recorded daily. Caesarean sections were performed to all dams on Day 14, and the number of dead, live or resorbed fetuses, sex ratio and number of implantation sites were recorded. All fetuses were weighed and examined for external congenital abnormalities. One-third of the fetuses/litter was examined for visceral malformations, and the other two-thirds for skeletal malformations. The ovaries and uterine content of all dams were examined.
No adverse effect related to the treatment with hydrated calcium silicate was detected. Malformations recorded in the fetuses were comparable to sham-exposed controls. Under the conditions of this test, the NOAEL for both maternal and developmental toxicity for the test item was considered to be 1600 mg/kg bw/day, the highest dose applied.

All fetuses were weighed and examined for external congenital abnormalities. One-third of the fetuses/litter was examined for visceral malformations, and the other two-thirds for skeletal malformations. The ovaries and uterine content of all dams were examined.
No adverse effect related to the treatment with hydrated calcium silicate was detected. Malformations recorded in the fetuses were comparable to sham-exposed controls. Treatment with the teratogen aspirin resulted in several malformations of the pups. Under the conditions of this test, the NOAEL for both maternal and developmental toxicity for the test item was considered to be 1600 mg/kg bw/day, the highest dose applied.

-nominator: No of fetuses affected, denominator: No of litters affected
Soft tissue abnoramilites such as exncephaly. spina bifida, and umbilical hernia were seen in several pups from dams treated with the positive control aspirin. No soft tissue abnormalities were seen in the sham exposed controls or in the test item treated animals.
Effect on developmental toxicity: via oral route
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed
- Dose descriptor:
- NOAEL
- 1 600 mg/kg bw/day
- Study duration:
- subacute
- Species:
- rat
- Quality of whole database:
- High. There is one recent non-GLP full OECD 414 comparable study available in rats, mice and hamsters showing no teratogenic effects at toxic dose levels of hydrated calcium silicate.
Effect on developmental toxicity: via inhalation route
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
Effect on developmental toxicity: via dermal route
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
Additional information
No adverse effect related to the treatment with hydrated calcium silicate was detected in rats, hamsters and mice.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Toxicity to reproduction has been sufficiently evaluated in studies addressing Developmental toxicity / teratogenicity. Available studies for the evaluation with amorphous calcium silicate (hydrated silicic acid, calcium salt) for these endponts indicated no concerns with respect to hazards related to reproduction, and thus no classification is required.
