Potential health effects

Nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) and/or its salts are classified by NTP and IARC as suspect carcinogens (Class 2B) based on findings of urinary tract tumors in rats and mice in chronic feeding studies. Based on the doses and exposure conditions required to cause tumors in animals and the low concentration of NTA or its salts present, we don’t believe exposure to this product under normal working conditions poses a human cancer risk. Carcinogenicity (NTP): NTP has listed nitrilotriacetic acid (CAS No. 139-13-9) and its salts to cause cancer in experimental animals. Carcinogenicity (IARC): IARC has classified nitrilotriacetic acid and its salts as possibly carcinogenic to humans (group 2B). Carcinogenicity (OSHA): Under criteria of the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard, nitrilotriacetric and its salts would be considered as possibly carcinogenic. Refer to NTP and IARC references.
