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.
