Hazardous decomposition products Hazardous decomposition products: Combustion by-products of the organic component are CO, CO2 and even traces of NOx SECTION 11: Toxicological information 11.1. Information on toxicological effects Information on toxicological acute effects : Information on toxicological chronical effects : May cause eye irritation if exposed to large amounts of dust Skin irritation may result from physical contact Inhalation of high concentrations may cause irritation Sepiolite produced by TOLSA has no carcinogenic effects as it has been demonstrated by epidemiological, in vitro and in vivo studies. Sepiolite is classified by IARC as class 3 ("Cannot be classified as to carcinogenicity to humans"). This product may contain quartz (crystalline silica). In 1997, IARC concluded that the respirable fraction of crystalline silica inhaled from occupational sources can cause lung cancer in humans. However, it pointed out that not all industrial circumstances, nor all crystalline silica types, were to be incriminated (IARC Monographs, Vol 68) A prolonged or repeated exposure via inhalation may cause cancer to lungs. IARC and NTP have determined that crystalline silica inhaled from occupational sources can cause cancer in humans. Risk of injury is dependent on the duration and level of exposure Other relevant information : No mutagenic, teratogenic or developmental toxicity effects are known There is body of evidence supporting the fact that increased cancer risk would be limited to people already suffering from silicosis. According to the current state of the art, worker protection against silicosis can be consistently assured by respecting the existing regulatory occupational exposure limits.
