Summary:
Low toxicity.
Details:
Mammalian toxicity -
Acute oral LD50 - 681 to >3160 mg/kg, [For comparison table salt is 3000 mg/kg]
Acute dermal LD50 - > 1350 mg/kg (rabbit).
Skin - Slightly irritating.
Eye - Slightly irritating.
Vapour inhalation - LC50 - > mg/L air (rat).
Chronic oral toxicity NOEL - ppm for two years.
Not mutagenic or teratogenic (i.e. does not cause cancer or reproductive problems).
Other Species -
Birds - .
Fish - toxicity - Not toxic to fish. LC50 = 15-38 ppm (48 hours).
Invertebrates - .
Bees - Granules not toxic to bees.
25 TOXICITY SYMPTOMS:
26 FIRST AID:
Contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26.
If Swallowed - Induce vomiting preferably with Ipecac Syrup APF. Not considered a hazard.
If on Skin - Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water.
If in Eyes - Flush with water for 15 minutes.
If Inhaled - Remove patient from contaminated area to fresh air. Powder presents a dust hazard to the lungs. It may also present a hazard to the lungs with chronic overexposure.
Advice to Doctor
Treat symptomatically.
