11) Toxicological information
a) Animal Data – Colloidal Silica – The compound is a slight skin irritant and a mild eye
irritant. Toxic effects described in animals from single inhalation exposures include
upper respiratory irritation, lung congestion, bronchitis and emphysema. Repeated
inhalation exposures at concentrations of 50 to 150 mg/m cubed produced increased lung
weights and lung changes. No progressive pulmonary fibrosis was seen and the observed
lung changes were reversible. By ingestion, effects from single high doses include
weight loss and diarrhea. Effects observed in animals exposed by intratracheal
instillation for one or two years included fibrosis of the lungs.
12) Ecological information – Adverse effects of this material on the environment are not
anticipated.
13) Disposal considerations
a) Waste Management – Comply with federal, state and local regulations
