Section 2. Hazards identification
Inhalation and skin contact are expected to be the primary routes of occupational exposure to
Potential Acute Health
Effects chlorendic anhydride. This material is irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Allergic
skin reaction may occur in susceptible individuals. Chlorendic anhydride is considered, on the
basis of single exposure (acute) animal tests, to be slightly toxic after ingestion (swallowing),
practically non-toxic after inhalation and skin contact, severely irritating to eyes and practically
non-irritating to skin.
Chlorendic anhydride will slowly degrade to chlorendic acid in the presence of water and/or
Potential Chronic Health
Effects sunlight. The National Toxicology Program (NTP) has concluded that there is clear evidence
of carcinogenicity (cancer) in a feeding study of rats and mice using chlorendic acid.
International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has given chlorendic acid an overall
evaluati on of 2B (possibly carcinogenic).

Routes of Entry
Toxicity to Animals 115- 27- 5, Chlorendic Anhydride in RTECS (# RB9080000):
Draize test, rabbit, eye: 100 mg Severe;
Inhalation, rabbit: LC50 = >1 gm/m3;
Inhalation, rat: LC50 = >1 gm/m3;
Oral, mouse: LD50 = 2400 mg/kg;
Oral, rat: LD50 = 2300 mg/kg;
Skin, rabbit: LD50 = >3 gm/kg.
Allergic skin reaction was reported in guinea pigs after repeated skin application. Repeated skin
contact produced skin irritation, stomach lesions, diarrhea, nasal and eye discharge, decreased
activity, anorexia and dehydration in rats. Decreased body weights, decreased food
consumption and changes in heart, liver, kidney and spleen weights were reported after
repeated dietary administration to rats. Repeated inhalation of dust produced nasal and eye
irritation, salivation, hair loss, decreased body weight gain, liver and thyroid changes, lesions in
the lung and stomach and cellular changes in the respiratory tract and stomach. No birth defects
were reported in the offspring of rats given Chlorendic anhydride orally during fetal development.
No genetic changes were reported in standard tests using animals and animal and bacterial
cells. Genetic changes were reported in a standard test using human cells.
