Toxicological values are not available due to other dangerous properties of the substance.
Further toxicological information
After skin contact:
Severe irritations
Eye contact leads to corneal damage. Ingestion is followed by severe pains (risk of perforation!),
nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, and after a latency period of some weeks possibly pyloric stenosis.
Inhalation of aerosols resulting in damage of the mucous membranes.
12 Ecological information
Ecotoxic effects

water supplies if allowed to enter soil and/or water in large quantities. Harmful due to pH shift.
Does not cause biological oxygen deficit
Further ecologic data
The following applies to sulphuric acid: Biological effects: Toxic for aquatic organisms; harmful
effect due to pH shift. LD 50 96h: 10mg/l; fish: Lethal as from 1.2mg/l; as from 6.3mg/l lethal in
24h.
Do not allow larger quantities to enter drinking water supplies, waste water, or soil!
13 Disposal considerations
Product
There are no uniform EC regulations for the disposal of chemicals or residues. Chemical residues
generally count as special waste. The disposal of the latter is regulated in the EC member
countries through corresponding laws and regulations, and in Switzerland also by the cantons. We
recommend that you contact either the authorities in charge or approved waste disposal
companies which will advise you on how to dispose of special waste.
Under www.retrologistik.de you will find country- and substance-specific information.
Packaging
Disposal in compliance with official regulations. Handle contaminated packaging in the same way
as the substance itself. If not officially specified differently, non-contaminated packaging may be
treated like household waste or recycled.
