4 Page 4 Lethal doses: LD50 Ingestion rat: >2000 mg/kg Ingestion: Relative to other materials, this material is classified as slightly toxic by ingestion. Eye: Skin: Mild irritant to rabbit eyes. May cause eye irritation following human eye contact. Slight/mild irritant following a single application to rabbit skin. Severe irritant following repeated applications to rabbit skin. May cause moderate to severe skin irritation following contact with human skin. Inhalation: No information available. Chronic (long-term) Toxicity Short term tests and a consideration of the structure have shown that it is unlikely to be a carcinogenic hazard to man. Regulated carcinogen(s): This product contains no components present at concentrations equal to or greater than 0.1% listed by IARC, OSHA, NTP or ACGIH as a carcinogen. 12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION Ecotoxicity Toxicity to fish - LC50 rainbow trout Dose: >180 mg/l Period: 96 hours Assessment: Low toxicity to fish. Toxicity to bacteria - IC10 sewage sludge organisms Dose: >100 mg/l Period: 3 hours Assessment: Low toxicity to bacteria. Elimination Mobility Degradability: >70% Period: 28 day(s) This product is essentially insoluble in water.
