- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- In the study of Flarend et al. (2001), 26-Al-chlorohydrate (aluminum complex inantiperspirant) was applied to a single underarm of one man and one woman.:Aluminium chlorohydrate (ACH), the active ingredient in many antiperspirants, was labelled with the radioisotope 26Al. The labelled ACH was then fractionated into about 100 samples using gel filtration chromatography. Each fraction was analyzed for 26Al and total aluminium content. Aluminium-26 was only detected in the fractions that also contained aluminium, which verified that the ACH was uniformly labelled. 84 mg of the labelled ACH was then applied to a single underarm of two adult subjects with blood and urine samples being collected over 7 weeks. Tape-stripping and mild washings of the skin were also collected for the first 6 days.5 - 7.5 % Al concentration, daily exposure 50 - 75 mg Al.

Results and discussion
Results of examinations
- Haematological findings:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- 15% of the total absorbed dose of 6 - 9 µg Al/day = 0.9 - 1.35 µg Al/day or for a 70 kg worker 0.013 - 0.019 µg Al/kg bw/day.
- Urinalysis findings:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- 85% of the total absorbed dose of 6 - 9 µg Al/day are excreted via urine: 5.1 - 7.65 µg Al/day or for 70 kg worker 0.07 - 0.11 µg Al/kg bw/day.
- Details on results:
- No adverse effects were reported.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The cumulative urinary excretion after 43 days following the application accounted for 0.0082% (male) andfor 0.016% (female) of the applied dose. Presumed dose level: 50-75 mg/day.Estimated percentage absorbed Al: up to 0.012 % Al or 6 - 9 µg Al/day. Excretion via urine: 85% of total absorbed Al or 5.1 - 7.7 µg Al/day. Resulting absorbed Al: 0.9 - 1.3 µg Al/day or for 70 kg worker 0.013 - 0.019 µg Al/kg bw/day.After correcting this fraction for the aluminum notexcreted in urine (15% of the absorbed dose), this application was estimated to result in adermal bioavailability of about 0.012%. On the basis of these data, the authors estimated thatthe amount of aluminum absorbed from regular use would be 0.25 μg/d.Therefore, a one-time use of ACH applied to the skin is not a significant contribution to the body burden of aluminiumand there is no relevant dermal repeated dose toxicity to be expected.NOAEL: 0.71 - 1.07 mg Al/ kg bw/day. Mean value: 0.89 mg Al /kg bw/day.Calculated for Aluminium potassium bis sulphate:NOAEL: 6.79 - 10.24 mg Aluminium potassium bis sulphate/ kg bw/day.Mean value NOAEL: 8.52 mg Aluminium potassium bis sulphate/kg bw/day.
- Executive summary:
The cumulative urinary excretion after 43 days following the application
accounted for 0.0082% (male) and for 0.016% (female) of the applied dose.
Presumed dose level: 50-75 mg/day. Estimated percentage absorbed Al: up to 0.012 % Al or
6 - 9 µg Al/day. Excretion via urine: 85% of total absorbed Al or 5.1 - 7.7 µg Al/day.
Resulting absorbed Al: 0.9 - 1.3 µg Al/day or for 70 kg worker 0.013 - 0.019 µg Al/kg bw/day.
After correcting this fraction for the aluminum not excreted in urine (15% of the absorbed dose),
this application was estimated to result in a dermal bioavailability of about 0.012%.
On the basis of these data, the authors estimated that the amount of aluminum
absorbed from regular use would be 0.25 μg/d.
Therefore, a one-time use of ACH applied to the skin is not a significant contribution to the body burden of aluminium
and there is no relevant dermal repeated dose toxicity to be expected.
NOAEL: 0.71 - 1.07 mg Al/ kg bw/day. Mean value: 0.89 mg Al /kg bw/day.
Calculated for Aluminium potassium bis sulphate:
NOAEL: 6.79 - 10.24 mg Aluminium potassium bis sulphate/ kg bw/day.
Mean value NOAEL: 8.52 mg Aluminium potassium bis sulphate/kg bw/day.
