• Sub chronic: None Reported
• Chronic: None Reported
• Teratology: None Reported
• Reproduction: None Reported
• Germ Cell Mutagenicity: None Reported
• Carcinogenicity: None Reported
BORIC ACID:
• Eye Irritation: Not irritating, corneal involvement or irritation clearing in 7 days. Classification: Based
on mean scores < 1, and the effects were fully reversible within 7 days, the classification criteria are not
met. Many years of occupational exposure indicate no adverse effects on human eye.
• Skin Irritation: No skin irritation. Mean Primary Irritation Score: 0.1. Based on the available data, the
classification criteria are not met.
• Acute Oral Toxicity: Low acute oral toxicity. The oral LD
50
value in male rats is 3,450 mg/kg bw, and
in female rats is 4080 mg/kg bw.
• Acute Inhalation Toxicity: Low acute inhalation toxicity; LC
50
in rats is > 2.0 mg/l (or g/m
3
). Based on
the available data, the classification criteria are not met.
• Acute Dermal Toxicity: Low acute dermal toxicity; LD
50
in rabbits is > 2,000 mg/kg of body weight.
Poorly absorbed through intact skin. Based on the available data, the classification criteria are not met.
• Reproduction: Reproductive Toxicity Category 2 (Hazard statement: H361: Suspected of
damaging fertility or the unborn child). A human study of occupationally exposed Borate worker
population showed no adverse reproductive effects. Animal studies indicate that Boric Acid reduces
or inhibits sperm production, causes testicular atrophy, and, when given to pregnant animals during
gestation, may cause developmental changes. These feed studies were conducted under chronic
exposure conditions leading to doses many times in excess of those that could occur through
inhalation of dust in the occupational setting (Source: CLH Report for Boric Acid, Version 2, Page 9,
April 23, 2013). NOAEL in rats for developmental effects on the fetus including fetal weight loss and
minor skeletal variations is 55 mg boric acid/kg bw or 9.6 mg B/kg.
• Germ Cell Mutagenicity: Not mutagenic. Based on the available data, the classification criteria are
not met.
• Carcinogenicity: No evidence of carcinogenicity. Based on the available data, the classification
criteria are not met.
SODIUM TETRABORATE PENTAHYDRATE:
• Eye Irritation: Irritating, fully reversible in 14 days. Classification: Eye irritation category 2A. Many
years of occupational exposure indicate not adverse effects on human eye.
• Skin Irritation: No skin irritation. Mean Primary Irritation Score: 0. Based on the available data, the
classification criteria are not met.
• Acute Oral Toxicity: Low acute oral toxicity. The oral LD
50
value in rats is 3,305 mg/kg bw.
• Acute Inhalation Toxicity: Low acute inhalation toxicity; LC
50
in rats is > 2.0 mg/l (or g/m
3
). Based on
the available data, the classification criteria are not met.
• Acute Dermal Toxicity: Low acute dermal toxicity; LD
50
in rabbits is > 2,000 mg/kg of body weight.
Poorly absorbed through intact skin. Based on the available data, the classification criteria are not met.
