TOXICOLOGICAL PROPERTIES |
| INFORMATION: |
INFORMATION FOR THIS
PRODUCT IS BASED AT 100% CONCENTRATION OF HARZARDEOUS INGREDIENTS |
| Skin contact |
not an irritant on
skin contact |
| Skin absorbtion |
Through damaged skin
- absorbed in bloodstraem in toxic amounts with irritation, eryhtem, macular rash, no
effect after 2 hours |
| Eye contact |
may be slightly
irritating, reversible conjunctivitis |
| Inhalation |
may transitory
sneezing and coughing |
| Ingestion |
Ingestion of larges
doses (15g adults; 5g infants) may cause erythema, macular rash,vomitting, diarreha,
dizziness, ciculatory collapse and may lead to death. |
| Effects of acute exposure |
see above |
| Effects of chrionic exposure |
eyes: mild
irritation. no effect on intact skin. ingestion: 2 years feeding studies on rats and dogs
showed no appreciable accumulation of boron in the blood. |
| Irritancy of material |
see section 3 |
| Carcinogenicity |
not listed by iarc or
acgin |
| Reproductive effects |
No symptoms have been
noted in humans, studies show that of large amount of borates over prolonged periods of
time cause a decrease in sperm production and testicle in male laboratory animals and
developmental. |

giving large amounts of water or milk and induce vomitting. |
| Notes to physician |
Gastric lavage with
5% sodium bicarbonate is suggested. This should be foloowed by saline catharsis. Assure
adequate hydration. boric acid is not considered an acute poison. After ingestion or
absorbtion into the bloodstream of large amounts 15 grams or more) symptoms may apear
after 24 to 72 hours. Borates readily disspiated through the urine (70% in the first 24
