For the major component(s): Did not cause birth defects or any other fetal effects in laboratory
animals. In laboratory animals, boron compounds have caused birth defects only at doses toxic to the
mother and have been toxic to the fetus at doses nontoxic to the mother.
Reproductive toxicity
For the major component(s): In animal studies, did not interfere with reproduction. In animal studies,
did not interfere with fertility. In animal studies, boron compounds have been shown to interfere with
fertility in males, and to a lesser degree in females.
Mutagenicity
For the major component(s): In vitro genetic toxicity studies were negative. Animal genetic toxicity
studies were negative.
Aspiration Hazard
Based on physical properties, not likely to be an aspiration hazard.
