Some phrases from the MSDS of the things I work with on a daily basis...
- Extremely hazardous material. Known human carcinogen. May be fatal if inhaled, swallowed or absorbed through the skin. Causes severe burns. May cause serious eye and lung damage.
- Toxicity data
ORL-RAT LD50 2.4 mg kg-1
ORL-MUS LD50 8.1 mg kg-1
SKN-RAT LD50 1.7 mg kg-1
- Highly toxic if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Exposure to even small amounts may be fatal. Readily absorbed through the skin.
- Vapor (Inhalation/Ocular)
ECt50 (Mild) = 0.1 mg-min/m3
ECt50 (Severe) 2 = 10 mg-min/m3
LCt50 = 15 mg-min/m3
Vapor (Percutaneous)
ECt50 (Threshold) 5 = 10 mg-min/m3
ECt50 (Severe) 2 = 25 mg-min/m3
Liquid (Percutaneous)
ED50 = 2 mg/70 kg man
LD50 = 5 mg/70 kg man
LCt50 = 150 mg-min/m3
We don't have broken glassware. You want to see the risk assessments...
Cheers
