• Reproduction: NOAEL in rats for developmental effects on the foetus including foetal weight loss and
minor skeletal variations is 55 mg boric acid/kg bw or 9.6 mg B/kg. Classification: Reproductive
Toxicity Category 2 (Hazard statement: H361: Suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child.)
• 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 POLYBORATE:
• Eye Irritation: Many years of occupational exposure indicate no adverse effects on human eye from
exposure to sodium polyborate.
• Skin Irritation: 0, Sodium polyborate is non-corrosive.
• Acute Oral Toxicity: Low acute oral toxicity. The oral LD50 value in rats is 3,479 mg/kg bw.
• Acute Inhalation Toxicity: LC50 Inhalation dusts/mists, rat, >5280mg/m3, conclusion/summary – not
available.
• Acute Dermal Toxicity: Low acute dermal toxicity; LD50 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.
• Sub chronic: None
• Chronic: None

Symptoms related to the physical, and chemical and toxicological characteristics:
Products are not intended for ingestion. Small amounts (e.g. a teaspoonful) swallowed accidentally are
not likely to cause effects. Symptoms of accidental over-exposure to high doses of inorganic borate
salts have been associated with ingestion or absorption through large areas of severely damaged skin.
These may include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, with delayed effects of skin redness and peeling.
Delayed and immediate effects as well as chronic effects from short and long-term exposure:
Human epidemiological studies show no increase in pulmonary disease in occupational populations
with chronic exposures to boric acid and sodium borate dust. Human epidemiological studies indicate
no effect on fertility in occupational populations with chronic exposures to borate dust and indicate no
effect to a general population with high exposures to borates in the environment.
