Toxicity to Animals
Chronic Effects on Humans MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Mutagenic for bacteria and/or yeast.
May cause damage to the following organs: kidneys, gastrointestinal tract, central nervous system (CNS).
Other Toxic Effects on Hazardous in case of ingestion, of inhalation (lung sensitizer).
Humans Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant, sensitizer).
Not available.
Special Remarks on
Toxicity to Animals
May affect genetic material (mutagenic).
Special Remarks on
Chronic Effects on Humans May cause adverse reproductive effects based on animal test data
Special Remarks on other Acute Potential Health Effects:
Toxic Effects on Humans Skin: Skin contact may cause redness, irritation and sensitization. Absorption through skin (e.g. by subcutaneous
injection will produce systemic and central nervous symtpoms similar that of ingestion or inhalation.
Eyes: May cause redness, and irritation.
Inhalation: Inhalation of dust may cause sensitization, asthma, and respiratory tract irritation. Inhalation of dust may
also cause nausea, and vomiting, and may affect behavior/central nervous system (symptoms similar to that of
ingestion)
Ingestion: May be harmful if swallowed. Causes gastrointestinal tract irritation with abdominal pain, nausa, vomiting
and diarrhea. May affect behavior/central nervous system and cause stimulation and depression of the central
nervous system. Symptoms may include restlessness, euphoria, drowsiness or sleepiness, yawning, somnolence,
dizziness, sedation, cognitive impairment, personality change, lightheadedness, tremors, confusion, halllucinations,
coma/unconsciousness. Other symptoms may include pin point or dilated pupils, respiratory depression, postural
hypotension, sore throat, increased cough, rhihitis, flushing, taste disorder, sweating, circulatory failure, death. It may
also affect the kidneys.
Chronic Potential Health Effects:
Ingestion or Skin Absorption/Subcutaneous injection: Prolonged or repeated ingestion or exposure by subcutaneous
injection may have systemic and nervous system symptoms similar to that of acute ingestion or inhalation and affect
the kidneys, adrenal gland and cause loss of appetite/weight loss.
