Reproductive Toxicity Data: This product is not expected to present a risk of adverse reproductive or developmental
toxicity.
Specific Target Organ Toxicity Single Exposure (STOT-SE):
No data available.
Specific Target Organ Toxicity Repeated Exposure (STOT-RE):
Recent studies of alumina refinery employees indicate that current exposures to aluminum compounds are not associated
with significant adverse respiratory effects. The small changes in pulmonary functions parameters and respiratory
symptoms observed were likely due to exposure to irritants and were not considered clinically significant.
