	IOMC, POPs Assessment Report, Dec. 1995: Chapter 6
		Aldrin is toxic to humans; the lethal dose of aldrin for an adult man has been estimated to be about 5g, equivalent to 83 mg/kg body weight.
		Aldrin treated rice is thought to have been the cause of deaths of waterfowl, shorebirds and passerines along the Texas Gulf Coast, both by direct poisoning by ingestion of aldrin treated rice and indirectly by consuming organisms contaminated with aldrin.
		Aldrin is readily metabolised to dieldrin in both animals and plants, and therefore aldrin residues are rarely present in animals and then only in very small amounts.

	NTP: Abstract for TR-21 - Aldrin and Dieldrin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Aldrin undergoes metabolic conversion to the epoxide, dieldrin, and because of this structural relationship, reports of the bioassays of both chemicals have been combined in this single report.
		Mean body weights attained by the rats and mice fed diets containing aldrin were similar to those of the controls during the first year of the study; however, mean body weights of the treated rats were lower than those of the controls during the second year of the study.
		Aldrin produced no significant effect on the mortality of rats or of male mice, but there was a dose-related trend in the mortality of female mice, primarily due to the early deaths in the high-dose groups.

		Aldrin is a big advocate of beefing up the shuttle launch system with extra boosters, while replacing the shuttle space plane with a less complex crew module — resulting in a configuration known as the shuttle-derived heavy-lift vehicle.

		An average concentration of aldrin of 0.3 ppm remained in the adipose tissue in the animals fed 3 ppm and 0.18 ppm remained at 1 ppm.
		Aldrin was fed to groups of 16 female rats at 2.5, 12.5 and 25 ppm for three generations: at 12.5 and 25 ppm the number of pregnancies was reduced.
