Section 11. Toxicological Information
11.1 Information on toxicological effects
Acute Toxicity Ingestion Low toxicity if swallowed. Swallowing
may result in gastrointestinal irritation or ulceration. Swallowing
may result in burns of the mouth and throat. LD50, rat > 2,000
mg/kg Aspiration hazard Aspiration into the lungs may occur during
ingestion or vomiting, causing tissue damage or lung injury. Dermal
Prolonged skin contact is unlikely to result in absorption of
harmful amounts. LD50, rat > 2,000 mg/kg No deaths occurred at
this concentration. Inhalation Vapors are primarily water; single
exposure is not likely to be hazardous. Prolonged excessive
exposure to mist may cause serious adverse effects, even death.
Mist may cause irritation of upper respiratory tract (nose and
throat) and lungs. For the major component(s): , 4 h, Respirable
dust., rat 1 - 5 mg/l
Eye damage/eye irritation May cause moderate eye irritation. May
cause corneal injury.
Skin corrosion/irritation Prolonged contact may cause moderate
skin irritation with local redness. May cause more severe response
if skin is abraded (scratched or cut).
Sensitization Skin Did not cause allergic skin reactions when
tested in guinea pigs. Respiratory No relevant data found.
Repeated Dose Toxicity For the minor component(s): In animals,
effects have been reported on the following organs: Kidney. Urinary
tract. In animals, has been shown to cause deposition of calcium
salts in various urinary tract tissues.
Chronic Toxicity and Carcinogenicity Although large dietary
doses of NTA have caused urinary tumors in laboratory animals,
there is little likelihood that NTA could cause cancer in humans,
especially at subtoxic doses.
Developmental Toxicity EDTA and its sodium salts have been
reported to cause birth defects in laboratory animals only at
exaggerated doses that were toxic to the mother. These effects are
likely associated with zinc deficiency due to chelation. Has been
toxic to the fetus in lab animals at doses nontoxic to the
mother.
Reproductive Toxicity No relevant data found.
Genetic Toxicology In vitro genetic toxicity studies were
negative. Component Toxicology - Nitrilotriacetate, trisodium salt
(NTA)
Inhalation No deaths occurred at this concentration. LD50, 4 h,

workplace exposures unless otherwise indicated.
3.2 Environment Used EUSES model.
Section 4 Guidance to check compliance with the Exposure
Scenario
4.1 Health Estimated workplace exposures are not expected to
exceed DNELs when the identified risk management measures are
adopted. Where other Risk Management Measures/Operational
Conditions are adopted, then users should ensure that risks are
managed to at least equivalent levels. Predicted exposures are not
expected to exceed the DN(M)EL when the Risk Management
Measures/Operational Conditions outlined in Section 2 are
implemented
4.2 Environment Guidance is based on assumed operating
conditions which may not be applicable to all sites; thus, scaling
may be necessary to define appropriate site-specific risk
management measures. Further details on scaling and control
technologies are provided in SpERC factsheet

Scenario
4.1 Health Estimated workplace exposures are not expected to
exceed DNELs when the identified risk management measures are
adopted. Where other Risk Management Measures/Operational
Conditions are adopted, then users should ensure that risks are
managed to at least equivalent levels. Predicted exposures are not
expected to exceed the DN(M)EL when the Risk Management
Measures/Operational Conditions outlined in Section 2 are
implemented
4.2 Environment Guidance is based on assumed operating
conditions which may not be applicable to all sites; thus, scaling
may be necessary to define appropriate site-specific risk
management measures. Further details on scaling and control
technologies are provided in SpERC factsheet

Section 4 Guidance to check compliance with the Exposure
Scenario
4.1 Health Estimated workplace exposures are not expected to
exceed DNELs when the identified risk management measures are
adopted. Where other Risk Management Measures/Operational
Conditions are adopted, then users should ensure that risks are
managed to at least equivalent levels. Predicted exposures are not
expected to exceed the DN(M)EL when the Risk Management
Measures/Operational Conditions outlined in Section 2 are
implemented
4.2 Environment Guidance is based on assumed operating
conditions which may not be applicable to all sites; thus, scaling
may be necessary to define appropriate site-specific risk
management measures. Further details on scaling and control
technologies are provided in SpERC factsheet
(http://cefic.org/en/reach-for-industries-libraries.html).
