Reproductive Toxicity
Contains a known or suspected reproductive toxin (sodium tetraborate decahydrate).
STOT - single exposure
No information available.
STOT - repeated exposure
No information available.
Chronic Toxicity
Contains a known or suspected carcinogen. Contains a known or suspected reproductive
toxin. Possible risk of irreversible effects. Wood dust has been classified by the
International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as a known human carcinogen
(Group 1). Studies have linked wood dust to nasal cancer in furniture industry workers.
Woodworkers in the building industry (e.g. carpenters) do not appear to have this increased
risk. Due to the product form and typical use conditions, significant dust exposures are
unlikely, and, therefore, the potential for any chronic effects is low.
Target Organ Effects
Respiratory system, reproductive system, eyes.
Aspiration Hazard
Not an aspiration hazard.
Numerical measures of toxicity - Product Information
The following values are calculated based on chapter 3.1 of the GHS document
