May cause adverse reproductive effects (fertility, toxicity) based on animal studies. May affect genetic material. May cause
teratogenic effects based on animal studies.
Acute Potential Health Effects: Skin: May cause skin irritation. May be absorbed through damaged or abraded skin in harmful
amounts. If absorbed through skin it may affect behavior, sense organs, metabolism, the gastrointestinal tract, and the respiratory
tract (respiratory depression) Eyes: Dust causes eye irritation. Inhalation: Dust causes respiratory tract irritation. Ingestion: Causes
digestive (gastrointestinal) tract irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May also affect behavior, brain, the Central Nervous
System (depression, headache, dizziness, drowsiness, collapse, unconsciousness, coma), Peripheral Nervous System,
cardiovascular system, blood, liver, urinary system (kidney, ureter, bladder) and endocrine system . Chronic Potential Health
Effects: Boric acid can accumulate in the body (brain, bone) with repeated exposure. Prolonged or repeated skin contact may
cause dermatitis. May cause borism characterized by dry skin, skin eruptions, and gastric disturbances.
