Toxicological Information Routes of Entry Toxicity to Animals Chronic Effects on Humans Other Toxic Effects on Humans Toxicity to Animals Chronic Effects on Humans other Toxic Effects on Humans Absorbed through skin. Inhalation. Ingestion. LD50: LC50: CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS: 3 (Not classifiable for human.) by IARC. MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Mutagenic for bacteria and/or yeast. May cause damage to the following organs: blood, liver. Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant, permeator), of ingestion, of inhalation. May affect genetic material (mutagenic) Acute Potential Health Effects: Skin: May cause skin irritation. It may be absorbed through the skin. Low hazard for usual industrial handling. Eyes: May cause mechanical eye irritation. Inhalation: May cause respiratory tract irritation. Low hazard for usual industrial handling. Ingestion: Ingestion of large amounts may cause gastrointestinal tract irritation with nausea, vomiting, diarrhea. Expected to be a low hazard for usual industrial handlilng. Chronic Potential Health Effects: Ingestion: is the principal sterol found in the body tissues of higher animals. Animal test data in the Registry of Toxici Effects of Chemical Substances (RTECS) noted that prolonged or repeated ingestion of large amounts may affect the liver(changes in liver weight, multiple effects), spleen (changes in spleen weight), and blood (changes in serum composition- increase in blood level cholesterol; pigmented or nucleated red blood cells). heart (changes in heart weight), blood vessels. Other health effects noted in the Registery of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances include changes in cochlear function and structure, and changes in peripherial motor recordings. Section 2.
