followed.
Information
Inhalation May cause irritation to the respiratory tract if mists or aerosols are inhaled.

Skin Prolonged contact with the concentrate may cause irritation.
Prolonged contact with the concentrate may result in absorption of solvents in
harmful amounts.
Eye The concentrate will cause severe irritation and possible damage unless washed off
immediately.
Reproductive Toxicity The solvents are regarded as causing developmental toxicity in humans based on
strong presumptions from animal studies.
Data indicates no teratogenic effects for triforine.
Acute Toxicity - Oral LD50 (rat) >16,000 mg/kg for triforine
LD50 (rat) 2,200 - 7,550 mg/kg for dimethyl formamide
LD50 (rat) 3,600 mg/kg for N-methyl pyrrolidone
Acute Toxicity - LD50 (rat) >10,000 mg/kg for triforine
LD50 (rat) 800 - 17,000 mg/kg for dimethyl formamide

Other Information The Australian Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) for triforine for a human is 0.02
mg/kg/day, set for the public for daily, lifetime exposure. This is based on the
NOEL of 2.7 mg/kg/day, the level determined to show no effects during long term
exposure for the most sensitive indicators and the most sensitive species. (Ref:
Comm. Dept. of Health and Ageing, 'ADI List', TGA, June 2004).
