Symptoms related to the physical, and chemical and toxicological characteristics:
Products are not intended for ingestion. Small amounts (e.g. a teaspoonful) swallowed accidentally are
not likely to cause effects. Symptoms of accidental over-exposure to high doses of inorganic borate
salts have been associated with ingestion or absorption through large areas of severely damaged skin.
These may include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, with delayed effects of skin redness and peeling.
Delayed and immediate effects as well as chronic effects from short and long-term exposure:
Human epidemiological studies show no increase in pulmonary disease in occupational populations
with chronic exposures to boric acid and sodium borate dust. Human epidemiological studies indicate
no effect on fertility in occupational populations with chronic exposures to borate dust and indicate no
effect to a general population with high exposures to borates in the environment.
Numerical measures of toxicity (such as acute toxicity): None. This product is a mixture.
NEWSPRINT (Cellulose Fiber):
• Ecotoxicity: Biodegrades slowly in water (half-life range 1 month – 1 yr in freshwater and coastal
seawater).
• Persistence and degradability: Not available
• Bioaccumulative potential: Not available
• Mobility in soil: Not available
• Other adverse effects (such as hazardous to the ozone layer): None Known
BORIC ACID:
• Ecotoxicity: Based on the acute data for freshwater species, boric acid is not classified as hazardous
to the environment.
• Persistence and degradability: Biodegradation is not an applicable endpoint since boric acid is an
inorganic substance.
• Bioaccumulative potential: This product will undergo hydrolysis in water to form undissociated boric
acid. Boric acid will not biomagnify through the food chain. Octanol/Water partition coefficient: Log P
ow
= -0.7570 @ 25°C
• Mobility in soil: Boric acid is soluble in water and is leachable through normal soil. Adsorption to soils
or sediments is insignificant.
• Other adverse effects (such as hazardous to the ozone layer): None known
AMMONIUM SULFATE:
• Ecotoxicity: TLm, Daphnia magna, 423 mg/L/24H.
