11 Toxicological information
-
Acute toxicity:
LD/LC50 values that are relevant for classification:
Oral: LD50: 1790 mg/kg (rat)
-
Primary
irritant effect:
-
on the skin:
Corrosive effect on skin and mucous membranes.
Irritant to skin and mucous membranes.
-
on the eye:
Strong corrosive effect.
Irritating effect.
-
Sensitization:
Sensitization possible through inhalation.
Sensitization possible through skin contact.
-
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.
-
Subacute to
chronic toxicity:
Corrosive materials are acutely destructive to the respiratory tract,
eyes, skin and digestive tract. Eye contact may result in permanent
damage and complete vision loss. Inhalation may result in respiratory
effects such as inflammation, edema, and chemical pneumonitis. May
cause coughing, wheezing, laryngitis, shortness of breath, headache,
nausea and vomiting. Ingestion may cause damage to the mouth, throat
and esophagus. May cause skin burns or irritation depending on the
severity of the exposure.
-
Additional
toxicological information:
Swallowing will lead to a strong corrosive effect on mouth and throat
and to the danger of perforation of esophagus and stomach.
To the best of our knowledge the acute and chronic toxicity of this
substance is not fully known.
IARC-3: Not classifiable as to carcinogenicity to humans.
ACGIH A4: Not classifiable as a human carcinogen: Inadequate data on
which to classify the agent in terms of it's carcinogenicity in humans
and/or animals.
