Chronic Toxicity/Effects
Carcinogenicity
Information on: Superabsorber sodium salt
Assessment of carcinogenicity: A chronic (2-year) lifetime inhalation study in rats with respirable
superabsorber polymer dust (micronized to < 10 µm diameter) resulted in a non-specific
inflammatory response in the lungs followed by tumor development in some rats in the highest
chronic exposure level of 0.8 mg/m3. In the absence of chronic inflammation, tumours are not
expected.
