11. Toxicological information |
Acute toxicity |
LD50 (oral, rat): 105 mg/kg (unhydrous substance) |
Further toxicological information |
The following applies to soluble nickel compounds in general: inorganic nickel has an adstringent effect on mucous membranes. Sensitization with allergic manifestations is possible in predisposed persons. In some cases nickel dermatitis may manifest itself. Depending on the water-solubility, nickel and its compounds display a more or less distinct carcinogenicity, with the readily soluble nickel compounds obviously entailing the lesser risk. |
Further data |
Further hazardous properties cannot be excluded. |
12. Ecological information |
Ecotoxic effects: The following applies to nickel salts in general: biological effects: dissolved Ni toxic for aquatic organisms. Fish: L. idus LC50: 570 mg/l; lethal concentration for fish 1 mg/l in soft water; in hard water P. promelas LD50 27 mg/l; bacteria: Ps. putida toxic from 0.0025 mg/l up; algae: Sc. quadricauda toxic from 1.3 mg/l up; M. aeruginosa toxic from 0.005 mg/l up; protozoa: E. sulcatum toxic from 0.14 mg/l up; U. parduczi toxic from 0.042 mg/l up; arthropods: D. magna LC50: 11 mg/l (all values referring to dissolved Ni). Further ecologic data: Do not allow to enter waters, waste water, or soil! |
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. |
