Other hazards which do not result in classification
Boric acid is a white odourless, powdered substance that is not flammable, combustible, or explosive, and has low acute oral and dermal toxicity.
Potential health effects
Inhalation is the most significant route of exposure in occupational and other settings. Dermal exposure is not usually a concern because boric acid is poorly absorbed through intact skin. Inhalation Occasional mild irritation effects to nose and throat may occur from inhalation of boric acid dusts at levels greater than 10 mg/m3. Eye contact Boric acid is non-irritating to eyes in normal industrial use. Skin contact Boric acid does not cause irritation to intact skin. Ingestion Products containing Boric Acid are not intended for ingestion. Boric Acid has a low acute toxicity. Small amounts (e.g., a teaspoon) swallowed accidentally are not likely to cause effects; swallowing amounts larger than that may cause gastrointestinal symptoms. Potentional ecological effects Large amounts of Boric Acid can be harmful to plants and other species. Therefore, releases to the environment should be minimized. Signs and symptoms of exposure Symptoms of accidental over-exposure to Boric Acid have been associated with ingestion or absorption through large areas of damaged skin. These may include nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea, with delayed effects of skin redness and peeling. Refer to section 11 for details on Toxicological data.
