Intravenous-Rat TDLo: 90 mg/kg: Equivocal turmorigenic agent, Intrapleural-Rat Tdlo: 90 mg/kg,
IRRITANCY OF PRODUCT: This product may be irritating to the eyes, skin, and other contaminated tissue.
SENSITIZATION TO THE PRODUCT:The main component of this product, may cause sensitization upon repeated or
prolonged exposures.
REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY INFORMATION: Listed below is information concerning the effects of this product and its
components on the human reproductive system.
Mutagenicity: This product is not reported to produce mutagenic effects in humans.
Embryotoxcity: This product is not reported to produce embryotoxic effects in humans.
Teratogenicity: This product is not reported to cause teratogenic effects in humans.
Reproductive Toxicity: This product is not reported to cause reproductive effects in humans. There is some evidence that
soluble tungsten compounds, such as lithium tungstate, can cause adverse reproductive effects in test animals exposed to
relatevely high doses.
A mutagen is a chemical which causes permanent changes to genetic material (DNA) such that the changes will propagate
through generation lines. An embryotoxin is a chemical which causes damage to a developing embryo (i.e. within the first
eight weeks of pregnancy in humans), but the damage does not propagate across generational lines. A teratogen is a
chemical which causes damage to a developing fetus, but the damage does not propagate across generational lines. A
reproductive toxin is any substance which interferes in any way with the reproductive process.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Acute or over-exposure to this may aggravate skin conditions.
Acute over-exposure via inhalation may increase mucus flow in the nose and respiratory system airways. This condition
disappear after exposure stops. Chronic overexposure via inhalation may aggravate pre-existing lung condition.
BIOLOGICAL EXPOSURE INDICES (BEIs): Currently, Biological Exposure Indices (BEIs) are not applicable for any
component of this product.
RECOMMENDATIONS TO PHYSICIANS: Treat symptoms and reduce or eliminate exposure.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
ALL WORK PRACTICES MUST BE AIMED AT ELIMINATING ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION
ENVIRONMENTAL STABILITY: Currently, there are no adverse environmental effects which have been reported for this
product.
