normal workplace conditions and good industrial hygiene practices.
No data available to indicate product or components may be a skin sensitizer.
Dermal Sensitization
No data available to indicate product or components may be respiratory senstizers.
Inhalation Sensitization
- CHRONIC EXPOSURE -
Ammonium Salt of 2-Acrylamido-2-Methyl Propane Sulfonic Acid was studied in a 28-day
Chronic Toxicity
oral gavage study in rats with a 14-day recovery period, and no significant toxicological
effects were observed. The No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOEL)was established at
1000 mg/kg/day.
Acrylonitrile has been shown to cause brain, stomach and cancer of other organs in Oral
Carcinogenicity
and inhalation studies in rats. Evidence of Carcinogenicity in humans is inconclusive.
Acrylamide has been shown to be carcinogenic in a variety of organs in rats; it has been
classified by IARC and NTP as having sufficient animal evidence for carcinogenicity.
Acrylamide has been shown to be mutagenic or genotoxic in variety of tests. Acrylonitrile
Mutagenicity
has been shown to have mutagenic or genotoxic activity. The relevance of this information
to workplace hazards has not been established. 2-Acrylamido-2-Methyl Propane Sulfonic
Acid monomer showed no activity in an Ames test, and in vivo chromosome aberration
study, or a CHO/HGPRT in vitro cell mutation assay. Results of a dominant lethal test in
rats have been negative for this material.
Ammonium Salt of 2-Acrylamido-2-Methyl Propane Sulfonic Acid was evaluated for
Reproductive Toxicity
reproduction toxicity in a OECD 421 assay. No adverse effects on reproductive parameters
were observed. The No Observed Effect Level (NOEL) was established at 1000 mg/kg/day
Ammonium Salt of 2-Acrylamido-2-Methyl Propane Sulfonic Acid was evaluated for
