### Chronic toxicip Remarks 1) Aluminum oxide
Aluminum oxide is a component of this product. Chronic occupational exposures to aluminum oxide may produce small pulmonary radiographic opacities (transperent areas in the lungs), but are usually not fibrogenic (Hathaway et al, 1991). Some epidemiologic studies have shown excess nonmalignant pulmonary disease and fibrosis. However, levels of asbestos and silica are not sufficient to explain the findings (Clayton & Clayton, 1994).

Chronic exposure to aluminum oxide and other agents have caused fibrotic changes in the lungs. Studies of kaolin clay dust exposure reported pneumoconiosis (Hale et al, 1956). However, workers exposed to silica and aluminum oxide in bauxite dust did not develop lung changes (Jephcott et al, 1948). Fibers were present in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. AII fibers were short, with a mean length of 1 to 2 micrometers. Because exposure had terminated more than 4 years earlier for 4 out of the 5 subjects, these results provide evidence that aluminum fibers persist in the respiratory tract. The adverse health effects of these fibers, if any, remain to be determined (Voisin et al, 1996).
Rats developed pre-fibrotic changes from inhalation of aluminum oxide dust (Borisenkova & Kochetkova, 1971). Retention of aluminum in the lungs of rats depended on the exposure pattern, with more dust being retained with longer exposure to lower concentrations than from shorter times with higher doses (Wright, 1957). Alumina injected with asbestos into the trachea of rats increased the amount of fibrosis which developed to greater than that seen with asbestos alone (Smith et al, 1951). Guinea pigs exposed to aluminum oxide and cigarette smoke had an increased number of white blood cells, indicating a possible immune response (Rylander et al, 1979).
