TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Specific Target Organ Toxicity (STOT) – single exposure
Nitrogen: Exposure to nitrogen gas at high concentrations can cause suffocation by reducing oxygen
available for breathing. Breathing very high concentrations can cause dizziness, shortness of breath,
unconsciousness or asphyxiation.
Specific Target Organ Toxicity (STOT) – repeat exposure
No relevant studies identified.
Serious Eye damage/Irritation
Mica: Not irritating (rabbit)
Skin Corrosion/Irritation
Mica: Not irritating (rabbit)
Respiratory or Skin Sensitization
No relevant studies identified.
Carcinogenicity
Calcium carbonate and mica contain quartz (crystalline silica) as an impurity. Prolonged exposure to
respirable crystalline silica dust at concentrations exceeding the occupational exposure limits may
increase the risk of developing a disabling lung disease known as silicosis. IARC has classified Silica
Dust, Crystalline, in the form of quartz or cristobalite as 1 (carcinogenic to humans).
Germ Cell Mutagenicity
No relevant studies identified.
Reproductive Toxicity
No relevant studies identified.
Aspiration Hazard
Not an aspiration hazard.
