Potential Health Effects:

Routes of Entry: Inhalation: Yes Ingestion: Yes           Skin: Yes

Health Hazards: Large amounts absorbed into blood stream from ingestion or through

                 damaged skin may result in erythema, macular rash, nausea, diarrhea,

                 dizziness, depression, CNS effects after 24 hours, through broken skin or

                 36-72 hours from ingestion. May cause slight irritation to broken skin.

                 Animal studies have shown that ingestion of large amounts of Borates over

                 prolonged periods of time causes a decrease in sperm production and

                 testicle size in male laboratory animals and developmental effects in

                 fetuses of pregnant female laboratory animals. No evidence of such effects

                 in humans.

Signs/symptoms Boric Acid - INGESTION: Acute oral LD50 (rats) 3.16 g/Kg. May cause

of overexposure: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea in doses >15gms. EYES: May cause slight,

                 reversible conjunctivitis. SKIN: May cause slight irritation on damaged skin.

                 Acute dermal LD50 >2g/Kg (rabbits) INHALATION: Nuisance dust. May

                 cause transitory sneezing and coughing.



Medical conditions              None known.
