Potential health effects

of exposure Sodium Lauryl Sulfate ( 151-21-3 ) Sodium Lauryl Sulfate:Contact with eyes will cause severe irritation. Prolonged skin contact may result in irritation and drying of skin. Mildly toxic by oral route.Positive mutagenic activity was found in Ames test. Formaldehyde (trace) ( 50-00-0 ) May cause eye and upper respiratory irritation at concentrations above 0.5 ppm. Sensitization and asthmatic reactions can occur at concentrations above 3 ppm. Mutagenic activity was detected in rats inhalation, mouse oral and peritoneal, and in numerous in vitro studies. Carcinogenic to animals, (nasal cancer, lifetime inhalation study, rats). Human epidemiological studies showed an excess of cancer in workers exposed to formaldehyde. Considered an IARC 1 carcinogen - known to be carcinogenic to humans. Listed carcinogen: IARC: Yes NTP: Yes
