A human study of occupationally exposed Borate worker population showed no adverse reproductive
effects. Animal studies indicate that Boric Acid reduces or inhibits sperm production, causes testicular
atrophy, and, when given to pregnant animals during gestation, may cause developmental changes. These
feed studies were conducted under chronic exposure conditions leading to doses many times in excess of
those that could occur through inhalation of dust in the occupational setting (Source: CLH Report for Boric
Acid, Version 2, Page 9, April 23, 2013). NOAEL in rats for developmental effects on the fetus including
fetal weight loss and minor skeletal variations is 55 mg boric acid/kg bw or 9.6 mg B/kg.
