REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH GUIDELINES
Established occupational exposure limits frequently do not take into consideration reproductive end points that are clearly below the
thresholds for other toxic effects. Occupational reproductive guidelines (ORGs) have been suggested as an additional standard. These
have been established after a literature search for reproductive no-observed-adverse effect-level (NOAEL) and the lowest-observed-
adverse-effect-level (LOAEL). In addition the US EPA's procedures for risk assessment for hazard identification and dose-response
assessment as applied by NIOSH were used in the creation of such limits. Uncertainty factors (UFs) have also been incorporated.
Ingredient ORG UF Endpoint CR TLV Adeq
ethylene glycol mono 3.6 mg/m? 100 D NA -
These exposure guidelines have been derived from a screening level of risk assessment and should not be construed as
unequivocally safe limits. ORGS represent an 8-hour time-weighted average unless specified otherwise.

INGREDIENT DATA
For each of the following
DODECYLBENZENESULFONIC ACID:
POLYETHYLENE GLYCOL MONO(NONYLPHENYL)ETHER:
WATER:
No exposure limits set by NOHSC or ACGIH.
EDTA TETRASODIUM SALT:
Not available
SODIUM TRIPOLYPHOSPHATE:
These "dusts" have little adverse effect on the lungs and do not produce toxic effects or organic disease. Although there is no dust
which does not evoke some cellular response at sufficiently high concentrations, the cellular response caused by P.N.O.C.s has the
following characteristics:
the architecture of the air spaces remain intact,
scar tissue (collagen) is not synthesised to any degree,
tissue reaction is potentially reversible.
Extensive concentrations of P.N.O.C.s may:
seriously reduce visibility,
cause unpleasant deposits in the eyes, ears and nasal passages,
contribute to skin or mucous membrane injury by chemical or mechanical action, per se, or by the rigorous skin cleansing
procedures necessary for their removal. [ACGIH]
This limit does not apply:
to brief exposures to higher concentrations
nor does it apply to those substances that may cause physiological impairment at lower concentrations but for which a TLV has as
yet to be determined.
This exposure standard applies to particles which
are insoluble or poorly soluble* in water or, preferably, in aqueous lung fluid (if data is available) and
have a low toxicity (i.e.. are not cytotoxic, genotoxic, or otherwise chemically reactive with lung tissue, and do not emit ionizing
radiation, cause immune sensitization, or cause toxic effects other than by inflammation or by a mechanism of lung overload)
ETHYLENE GLYCOL MONOBUTYL ETHER:
Odour Threshold Value: 0.10 ppm (detection), 0.35 ppm (recognition) Although rats appear to be more susceptible than other animals
anaemia is not uncommon amongst humans following exposure. The TLV reflects the need to maintain exposures below levels found
to cause blood changes in experimental animals. It is concluded that this limit will reduce the significant risk of irritation, haematologic
effects and other systemic effects observed in humans and animals exposed to higher vapour concentrations. The toxic effects typical
of some other glycol ethers (pancytopenia, testis atrophy and teratogenic effects) are not found with this substance.
SODIUM METASILICATE, ANHYDROUS:
CEL TWA: 2 mg/m?[Manufacturer]
SODIUM HYDROXIDE:
The TLV-C is recommended based on concentrations that produce noticeable but not excessive, ocular and upper respiratory tract
irritation.
PHOSPHORIC ACID:
The saturated vapour concentration of phosphoric acid exceeds the TLV. The TLV-TWA is based by analogy from comparable
experience and data for sulfuric acid. Exposure at or below this limit is thought to prevent throat irritation amongst unacclimatised
workers. Fumes of phosphorus pentoxide at concentrations between 0.8 and 5.4 mg/m?were reported to be noticeable but not
uncomfortable whilst concentrations between 3.6 and 11.3 mg/m?produced coughing in unacclimatised workers but were tolerable.
Concentrations of 100 mg/m?were unbearable except in inured workers.

Safety glasses with side shields.
Chemical goggles.
Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate irritants. A written policy document,
describing the wearing of lens or restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This should include a review of
lens absorption and adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an account of injury experience. Medical and first-aid
personnel should be trained in their removal and suitable equipment should be readily available. In the event of chemical exposure,
begin eye irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens should be removed at the first signs of eye
redness or irritation - lens should be removed in a clean environment only after workers have washed hands thoroughly. [CDC

NOTE: As a series of factors will influence the actual performance of the glove, a final selection must be based on detailed
observation. -
* Where the glove is to be used on a short term, casual or infrequent basis, factors such as "feel" or convenience (e.g. disposability),
may dictate a choice of gloves which might otherwise be unsuitable following long-term or frequent use. A qualified practitioner should
be consulted.
The local concentration of material, quantity and conditions of use determine the type of personal protective equipment required.
For further information consult site specific CHEMWATCH data (if available), or your Occupational Health and Safety Advisor.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
General exhaust is adequate under normal operating conditions. If risk of overexposure exists, wear SAA approved respirator. Correct
fit is essential to obtain adequate protection. Provide adequate ventilation in warehouse or closed storage areas. Air contaminants
generated in the workplace possess varying "escape" velocities which, in turn, determine the "capture velocities" of fresh circulating air
required to effectively remove the contaminant.
Type of Contaminant: Air Speed:
solvent, vapours, degreasing etc., evaporating from tank (in still
0.25-0.5 m/s (50-100 f/min)
air)
aerosols, fumes from pouring operations, intermittent container
filling, low speed conveyer transfers, welding, spray drift, plating
0.5-1 m/s (100-200 f/min.)
acid fumes, pickling (released at low velocity into zone of active
generation)
direct spray, spray painting in shallow booths, drum filling,
conveyer loading, crusher dusts, gas discharge (active generation 1-2.5 m/s (200-500 f/min)
into zone of rapid air motion)
grinding, abrasive blasting, tumbling, high speed wheel generated
dusts (released at high initial velocity into zone of very high rapid 2.5-10 m/s (500-2000 f/min.)
air motion).
Within each range the appropriate value depends on:
Lower end of the range Upper end of the range
1: Room air currents minimal or favourable to capture 1: Disturbing room air currents
2: Contaminants of low toxicity or of nuisance value only 2: Contaminants of high toxicity
3: Intermittent, low production. 3: High production, heavy use
4: Large hood or large air mass in motion 4: Small hood - local control only
Simple theory shows that air velocity falls rapidly with distance away from the opening of a simple extraction pipe. Velocity generally
decreases with the square of distance from the extraction point (in simple cases). Therefore the air speed at the extraction point should
be adjusted, accordingly, after reference to distance from the contaminating source. The air velocity at the extraction fan, for example,
should be a minimum of 1-2 m/s (200-400 f/min.) for extraction of solvents generated in a tank 2 meters distant from the extraction
point. Other mechanical considerations, producing performance deficits within the extraction apparatus, make it essential that
theoretical air velocities are multiplied by factors of 10 or more when extraction systems are installed or used.

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
Considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial environments.
The liquid is discomforting to the gastro-intestinal tract and may be harmful if swallowed The material can produce chemical burns
within the oral cavity and gastrointestinal tract following ingestion.
EYE
The liquid is discomforting and is capable of causing a mild, temporary redness of the conjunctiva (similar to wind-burn), temporary
impairment of vision and/ or other transient eye damage/ ulceration.
SKIN
The liquid is discomforting to the skin and is capable of causing skin reactions which may lead to dermatitis from repeated exposures
over long periods.
Toxic effects may result from skin absorption.
INHALED
Not normally a hazard due to non-volatile nature of product.
Inhalation hazard is increased at higher temperatures.
The vapour from heated material is discomforting to the upper respiratory tract.
The material may produce respiratory tract irritation, and result in damage to the lung including reduced lung function.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Primary route of exposure is usually by skin contact.
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause drying with cracking, irritation and possible dermatitis following.
As with any chemical product, contact with unprotected bare skin; inhalation of vapour, mist or dust in work place atmosphere; or
ingestion in any form, should be avoided by observing good occupational work practice.

Asthma-like symptoms may continue for months or even years after exposure to the material ceases. This may be due to a non-
allergenic condition known as reactive airways dysfunction syndrome (RADS) which can occur following exposure to high levels of
highly irritating compound. Key criteria for the diagnosis of RADS include the absence of preceding respiratory disease, in a non-
atopic individual, with abrupt onset of persistent asthma-like symptoms within minutes to hours of a documented exposure to the
irritant. A reversible airflow pattern, on spirometry, with the presence of moderate to severe bronchial hyperreactivity on methacholine
challenge testing and the lack of minimal lymphocytic inflammation, without eosinophilia, have also been included in the criteria for
diagnosis of RADS. RADS (or asthma) following an irritating inhalation is an infrequent disorder with rates related to the concentration
of and duration of exposure to the irritating substance. Industrial bronchitis, on the other hand, is a disorder that occurs as result of
exposure due to high concentrations of irritating substance (often particulate in nature) and is completely reversible after exposure
ceases. The disorder is characterised by dyspnea, cough and mucous production.

The material may produce severe skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure, and may produce a contact dermatitis
(nonallergic). This form of dermatitis is often characterised by skin redness (erythema) thickening of the epidermis.
Histologically there may be intercellular oedema of the spongy layer (spongiosis) and intracellular oedema of the epidermis.
Prolonged contact is unlikely, given the severity of response, but repeated exposures may produce severe ulceration.

allergenic condition known as reactive airways dysfunction syndrome (RADS) which can occur following exposure to high levels of
highly irritating compound. Key criteria for the diagnosis of RADS include the absence of preceding respiratory disease, in a non-
atopic individual, with abrupt onset of persistent asthma-like symptoms within minutes to hours of a documented exposure to the
irritant. A reversible airflow pattern, on spirometry, with the presence of moderate to severe bronchial hyperreactivity on methacholine
challenge testing and the lack of minimal lymphocytic inflammation, without eosinophilia, have also been included in the criteria for
diagnosis of RADS. RADS (or asthma) following an irritating inhalation is an infrequent disorder with rates related to the concentration
of and duration of exposure to the irritating substance. Industrial bronchitis, on the other hand, is a disorder that occurs as result of
exposure due to high concentrations of irritating substance (often particulate in nature) and is completely reversible after exposure
ceases. The disorder is characterised by dyspnea, cough and mucous production.

The material may produce severe irritation to the eye causing pronounced inflammation. Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants
may produce conjunctivitis.
The material may produce severe skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure, and may produce a contact dermatitis
(nonallergic). This form of dermatitis is often characterised by skin redness (erythema) thickening of the epidermis.
Histologically there may be intercellular oedema of the spongy layer (spongiosis) and intracellular oedema of the epidermis.
Prolonged contact is unlikely, given the severity of response, but repeated exposures may produce severe ulceration.

SODIUM TRIPOLYPHOSPHATE:
The principal problems of phosphate contamination of the environment relates to eutrophication processes in lakes and ponds.
Phosphorus is an essential plant nutrient and is usually the limiting nutrient for blue-green algae. A lake undergoing eutrophication
shows a rapid growth of algae in surface waters. Planktonic algae cause turbidity and flotation films. Shore algae cause ugly
muddying, films and damage to reeds. Decay of these algae causes oxygen depletion in the deep water and shallow water near the
shore. The process is self-perpetuating because anoxic conditions at the sediment/water interface causes the release of more
adsorbed phosphates from the sediment. The growth of algae produces undesirable effects on the treatment of water for drinking
purposes, on fisheries, and on the use of lakes for recreational purposes.
Do NOT allow product to come in contact with surface waters or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not
contaminate water when cleaning equipment or disposing of equipment wash-waters.
Wastes resulting from use of the product must be disposed of on site or at approved waste sites.
On the basis of available evidence concerning either toxicity, persistence, potential to accumulate and or observed environmental fate
and behaviour, the material may present a danger, immediate or long-term and /or delayed, to the structure and/ or functioning of
natural ecosystems.
DO NOT discharge into sewer or waterways.
POLYETHYLENE GLYCOL MONO(NONYLPHENYL)ETHER:
Octanol/water partition coefficients cannot easily be determined for surfactants because one part of the molecule is hydrophilic and the
other part is hydrophobic. Consequently they tend to accumulate at the interface and are not extracted into one or other of the liquid
phases. As a result surfactants are expected to transfer slowly, for example, from water into the flesh of fish. During this process,
readily biodegradable surfactants are expected to be metabolised rapidly during the process of bioaccumulation. This was emphasised
by the OECD Expert Group stating that chemicals are not to be considered to show bioaccumulation potential if they are readily
biodegradable.
Several anionic and nonionic surfactants have been investigated to evaluate their potential to bioconcentrate in fish. BCF values (BCF
- bioconcentration factor) ranging from 1 to 350 were found. These are absolute maximum values, resulting from the radiolabelling
technique used. In all these studies, substantial oxidative metabolism was found resulting in the highest radioactivity in the gall
bladder. This indicates liver transformation of the parent compound and biliary excretion of the metabolised compounds, so that "real"
bioconcentration is overstated. After correction it can be expected that "real" parent BCF values are one order of magnitude less than
those indicated above, i.e. "real" BCF is <100. Therefore the usual data used for classification by EU directives to determine whether a
substance is "Dangerous to the "Environment" has little bearing on whether the use of the surfactant is environmentally acceptable.
Alcohol ethoxylates are generally biodegradable and do not persist for any substantial period in the environment. Contamination of
natural waters, however, should be avoided.
A EU Risk Assessment Report (RAR) concluded that octyl- and nonyl- phenol ethoxylates are not readily biodegradable but are
inherently biodegradable
As a group, these materials are generally toxic to fish with LC50s ranging, typically, between 1-6 mg/l.
Of special concern are the following families which are classified as "Environmentally Hazardous Substances" by either or both the
ADR (Accord Europeen Relatif au Transport International des Merchandises Dangerous par Route) and the IMDG Code (International
Maritime Dangerous Goods Code).
alcohols C 6-17 (secondary) with 3-6 moles of ethoxylation.
alcohols C12-15 with 1-3 moles of ethoxylation (1-6 moles of ethoxylation IMDG)
alcohols C13-15 with 1-6 moles of ethoxylation.
New aquatic data suggests that
alcohols C 8-9 branched with 3-10 moles of ethoxylation
alcohols C 8-9 branched with > 10 moles of ethoxylation should also be classified as 'harmful to the environment"
These alcohols may also be found linked to aromatic structures (in nonylphenol ethoxylates for example). The current consensus
determines that such entities become Environmental Toxins by association.
Do NOT allow product to come in contact with surface waters or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not
contaminate water when cleaning equipment or disposing of equipment wash-waters.
Wastes resulting from use of the product must be disposed of on site or at approved waste sites.
