Other Toxic Effects on Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of ingestion, of inhalation. Humans Special Remarks onNot available. Toxicity to Animals Special Remarks onNot available. Chronic Effects on Humans Special Remarks on otherPotential Health Effects: Toxic Effects on HumansNo effects due to acute exposure have been reported. Presumably, it could be an eye, skin, and respiratory tract from frictioinal action. Chronic exposure can lead to accumulation in the lungs, as in the pneumoconiosis called Talcosis, and exposure to fibrous forms might result in pulmonary fibrosis. Section 12.
