SECTION 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Potential Health Effects:
Inhalation: Dust may cause respiratory irritation.
Ingestion: Swallowing may cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Skin Contact: Contact with skin may cause irritation in sensitive individuals.
Eye Contact: Causes severe irritation to eyes on contact. Left untreated, eye contact with this product may cause burns, blindness or permanent eye
damage.
Chronic Exposure: Prolonged contact with skin may cause irritation, drying or dermatitis.
Carcinogenic effects: Not classied
Teratogenicity/Reproductive toxicity:
Method: Prenatal Developmental Toxicity Study - OECD Guideline 414
Species: Rat
Dose: 0; 19 (3.3); 36 (6.3); 55 (9.6); 76 (13.3) and 143 (25) mg boric acid (mg B)/kg bw.
Routes of Exposure: Oral feeding study
Results: NOAEL in rats for developmental effects on the foetus including foetal weight loss and minor skeletal variations is 55 mg boric acid/kg bw or 9.6
mg B/kg; equivalent to 64.7 mg disodium tetraborate pentahydrate/kg bw.
Classication: Reproductive Toxicity Category 2 (Hazard statement: H361: Suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child.)
Method: Occupational studies of evaluating sensitive sperm parameters in highly exposed borate workers. Epidemiological studies evaluating high
environmental exposures to boron and developmental effects in humans have been conducted.
Species: Human
Dose: A subset of workers was exposed to 125 mg B/day.
Routes of Exposure: Combined oral ingestion and inhalation
Results: No adverse fertility effects in male workers. Epidemiological studies of human developmental effects have shown an absence of effects in
exposed borate workers and populations living in areas with high environmental levels of boron.
Mutagenic effects: Not classied
Numerical Measures of Toxicity:
Tetradecyl Dimethyl Ammonium: Skin, rabbit: 1 mg/24H
Chloride Dihydrate Eye rabbit: 1 mg/24H
SECTION 12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Aquatic: May cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.
Persistence and Degradability: No information available
Bioaccumulative Potential: No information available
Mobility in Soil: No information available
Other Adverse Effects: None known
Other: For more information, see “HANDBOOK OF ENVIRONMENTAL FATE AND EXPOSURE DATA.”
