d TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
NPK (average): Not Applicable
NPK (limit): Not Applicable
LD50: It was not possible to establish the value of acute oral LD50.
No animal died after a dose of 20000 mg/kg. Higher doses
may not be applied.
It was not possible to establish the value of acute dermal
LD50. After the application of a dose of 5000 mg/kg onto the
bare skin on the back of experimental animals, no animal
dies. Higher doses may not be applied.
Eye irritation: A very mild and short irritation of conjunctival membrane.
(Besides a mild repletion after 2 hours after the preparation
application disappearing after 24 hours, no inflammatory
changes of conjuctival membrane were observed).
Skin irritation: Zeolite does cause any inflammatory changes on the intact
or disturbed, no other symptoms of toxicity even after
a multiple application.
Affecting live organisms: Zeolite may be classified as a little toxic, even harmless
substance. It does not present any risk after repeated skin
applications and is not absorbed by skin in hazardous
quantities. Irritation of conjunctival membrane is very mild
and short lasting.

5 INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENTAL ESCAPE .
Procedure in case of an Zeolite does contaminate either soil or water. It is not
accident or emergency: a dangerous waste. It may be combined with soil or
drained.
Waste disposal: Mechanically, may be combined with soil as zeolite is
a certified soil excipient. Zeolite does not contaminate
water 鈥? it may be drained into the sewage. Zeolite is not
a dangerous waste!
Used packs of zeolite are to be salvaged or burnt in an
approved incinerator after being thoroughly emptied.
6 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR HANDLING AND STORAGE .
Instructions for handling: -in view of health protection and labour safety, employees
working in the manufacture process of and those applying
the zeolite must use protective working means.
- environment in the process of manufacture and application
must be ensured so that NPK-P in the atmosphere is not
exceeded.
-employees must be instructed on the product and follow
principles of health protection and labour safety.
Instructions for storing: Product must be stored in original intact and sealed
packages in dry, clean, well aired and closed storage,
separately from consumables and drugs.
7 EXPOSITION LIMITATIONS AND PERSONAL PROTECTIVE .
Zeolite in form of dust, aerodispersion sytem, is to be held for a substance with the prevailingly
nitrogenous effect respirability limit 5 碌m. Due to SiO2 content, NPK-P for the work environment is
5 mg.m-3. Work stations must be dust controlled or aired so that the max. dust concentration is
3
5 mg.m- air. Where it is not possible to achieve these conditions temporarily, personal protective
working means (protective clothing and shoes, respirator with dust insert, rubber gloves, protective
goggles) must be used to protect respiratory passages, skin and eyes. When the work is finished,
hands must be washed with water and soap..

8 ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION .
Results obtained by testing zeolite failed to enable establishing LC 50 for the fish and daphnia as
thee tested animals had been administered maximum concentrations exceeding the limits for the
preparation to be classified as a substance 鈥瀉lmost not toxic for the fish and other animals鈥?.
Based on 96 hours of static acute testing the toxicity with the fish (Cyprinus carpio L., Poecilia
reticulata Peters) and a 24 hour acute immobilization test with daphnia (Daphnia magna Straus),
the natural zeolite was classified as a substance for the fish and daphnia almost not toxic.
Pursuant to the opinion of the National Referential Laboratory for pesticides of the IVM (Institute of
Veterinary Medicine) Clinoptilolite 鈥? is relatively harmless for domestic animals, cattle and wild
animals鈥?, 鈥瀎or the fish and other water animals almost non-toxic鈥?.
9 WASTE DISPOSAL .
Waste disposal - mechanically. Residues of zeolite (without other additives) may be combined with
soil as zeolite is registered as a soil excipient. Zeolite does not contaminate water 鈥? it may be
drained to the sewage. Zeolite is not a hazardous waste!
