| Acute toxicity |
|
LD50 (oral, rat): 375 mg/kg LD50 (dermal, rabbit): 1400 mg/kg The literature data available to us do not conform with the labelling prescribed by the EC. The EC has dossiers of the manufacturers which have not been published. |
| Subacute to chronic toxicity |
| An embryotoxic effect need not be feared when the threshold limit value is observed. |
| Further toxicological information |
|
After inhalation of dust: Irritation symptoms in the respiratory tract. Risk of absorption. After skin contact: irritant effect Danger of skin absorption. After eye contact: strong irritant effect After swallowing: irritations of mucous membranes in the mouth, pharynx, oesophagus and gastrointestinal tract. diarrhoea Rapid absorption. Systemic effects: muscular symptoms Other notes: After absorption of large quantities: fever , tachycardia , spasms |

| 13. Disposal considerations |
| Product: |
| There are no uniform EC Regulations for the disposal of chemicals or residues. Chemical residues generally count as special waste. The disposal of the latter is regulated in the EC member countries through corresponding laws and regulations. We recommend that you contact either the authorities in charge or approved waste disposal companies which will advise you on how to dispose of special waste. |
| Packaging: |
| Disposal in compliance with official regulations. Handle contaminated packaging in the same way as the substance itself. If not officially specified differently, non-contaminated packaging may be treated like household waste or recycled. |
