SECTION 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Information on toxicological effects
Acute toxicity: No effects known.
LD/LC50 values that are relevant for classification: No data
Skin irritation or corrosion: Powder: irritant effect
Eye irritation or corrosion: Powder: irritant effect
Sensitization: Sensitization possible through skin contact.
Germ cell mutagenicity: No effects known.
Carcinogenicity:EPA-A: human carcinogen: sufficient evidence from epidemiologic studies to support a causal
association between exposure and cancer.
IARC-2B: Possibly carcinogenic to humans: limited evidence in humans in the absence of sufficient
evidence in experimental animals.
NTP-R: Reasonably anticipated to be a carcinogen: limited evidence from studies in humans or
sufficient evidence from studies in experimental animals.
ACGIH A4: Not classifiable as a human carcinogen: Inadequate data on which to classify the agent in
terms of its carcinogenicity in humans and/or animals.
Reproductive toxicity: No effects known.
Specific target organ system toxicity - repeated exposure: No effects known.
Specific target organ system toxicity - single exposure: No effects known.
Aspiration hazard: No effects known.
Subacute to chronic toxicity:
Chromium powder, chromium (II) and chromium (III) compounds may cause nausea, diarrhea,
vomiting, skin and eye irritation and pneumoconiosis. Although less likely than Cr(VI) compounds, the
NTP considers all chromium to be potentially carcinogenic.
Iron compounds may cause vomiting, diarrhea, pink urine, black stool, and liver damage.
May cause damage to the kidneys. Irritating to the respiratory tract, they may cause pulmonary fibrosis
if dusts are inhaled.
Nickel and nickel compounds may cause a form of dermatitis known as nickel itch. They may also
cause intestinal disorders, convulsions and asphyxia. Airborne nickel contaminated dusts are regarded
as carcinogenic to the respiratory tract.
Subacute to chronic toxicity: No effects known.
Additional toxicological information:
To the best of our knowledge the acute and chronic toxicity of this substance is not fully known.
