Section 11. Toxicological Information
Routes of EntryInhalation. Ingestion.
Toxicity to AnimalsAcute oral toxicity (LD50): 973 mg/kg [Rat].
Chronic Effects on Humans May cause damage to the following organs: central nervous system (CNS).
Other Toxic Effects onHazardous in case of ingestion, of inhalation.
HumansSlightly hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant, permeator).
Special Remarks onNot available.
Toxicity to Animals
Special Remarks onMay cause adverse reproductive effects and birth defects (teratogenic). May affect genetic material (mutagenic)
Chronic Effects on HumansHuman: passes through the placenta, excreted in maternal milk.
Special Remarks on otherAcute Potential Health Effects:
Toxic Effects on HumansSkin: May cause slight irritation. May be absorbed through broken or inflammed skin.
Eyes: May cause slight eye irritation.
Inhalation: May cause respiratory tract and mucous membrane irritaiton with sneezing and/or coughing. Inhalation
of large quantities may cause lung edema, respiratory difficulties, dizziness, and have an anesthetic effect
(symptoms similar to ingestion).
Ingestion: Narcotic! May Be Habit Forming! It may cause gastrointestinal tract irritaiton (disturbances) with
nausea, vomiting, constipation. Ingestion of large amounts may affect behavior/central nervous system
(drowsiness, dizziness, slurred speech, somnolence, mental exhilaration, confusion, mood changes,
restlessness), metabolism (anorexia), cardiovascular system (heart palpitations, low blood pressure, hypertension,
arrhythmias, acute ventricular failrue, bradycardia, cardia arrest). Other symptoms may include dry mouth,
sweating, facila flushing, rash, non-responsive contracted pupils, and hypothermia, labored breathing causing
cyanosis, flaccid skeletal muscles. Pneumonia, pulmonary edema, shock, coma, and even death may occur in
severe cases.
Chronic Potential Health Effects:
Inhalation: Prolonged or repeated inhalation may cause respiratory irritation, tightness of the chest, asthma, and
bronchitis.
Ingestion: Prolonged or repeated ingestion may cause habituation or addiction. It may affect the blood, urinary
system , and metabolism (anorexia).
Skin: May cause contact dermatitis in sensitized indivduals
Sensitive individuals may also develop anaphylatic (allergic) reactions upon re-exposure by inhalation or ingestion.
