11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Health Effects:
Acute -
Swallowed
: Because of its high alkalinity in the undiluted
state, LCD-11 is corrosive to the gastro-intestinal tract if
swallowed. Considered to be toxic by all exposure routes.
Can kill if swallowed. Causes severe burns.
Skin:
Principal route of exposure is usually by skin contact.
Corrosive to the eyes and skin on contact. Skin contact may
cause swelling, redness, blistering, dermatitis or burns with
deep ulceration and gelatinous necrotic areas at the site of
contact. Skin contact may result in little pain, thus care
should be taken to avoid contamination of gloves and boots.
Eye:
Corrosive. Contamination of the eyes can result in
conjunctivitis and corneal burns and ulceration which can
result in permanent injury and possible loss of sight. Risk of
serious damage to eyes.
Inhaled:
Inhalation risk is low if product is used as directed,
but breathing of concentrated vapour should be avoided.
Health Effects -
Chronic:
None known.
Toxicity data: Not available for mixture.
For potassium hydroxide: Oral LD50 (rat) = 365 mg/kg
(potassium hydroxide solid). Potassium hydroxide has low
systemic toxicity.
(Note: this data is from published information. Agar Cleaning
Systems does not carry out animal tests).
12 ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Ecotoxicity: No data available.
Persistence and degradability: -
Mobility: -
Advice: Prevent contamination of waterways and drains.
13 DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
For disposal, refer to State Land Waste Management authority.
Empty containers must be decontaminated. LCD-11 can
be greatly diluted or carefully neutralised with dilute acid and
flushed to drain with copious amounts of water.
