SECTION 11 – TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION / CARCINOGENICITY
ACGIH
Small amount of Silica, crystalline present in Calcium Carbonate & trace residual Formaldehyde present in base emulsion are suspected human
carcinogens.
OSHA
Trace residual Formaldehyde present in base emulsion viewed as a possible cancer hazard.
IARC
Trace residual Formaldehyde: Human carcinogen.
NTP
Silica, crystalline, present in small amount in Calcium Carbonate Filler: Known carcinogen. Trace residual Formaldehyde: Anticipated carcinogen.
DATA WITH POSSIBLE
RELEVANCE TO HUMANS
Product contains trace amounts of residual Formaldehyde. OSHA & NTP identify Formaldehyde as a potential carcinogen. IARC identifies
Formaldehyde as a human carcinogen. Formaldehyde has been shown to cause mutations in a variety of in-vitro test systems, w/ human
significance unknown. Rats have shown carcinogenic effects in respiratory system. Risk should be minimal when used w/ adequate ventilation.
Maintain adequate ventilation to prevent exposure above OSHA exposure limits.
