Results of PBT and vPvB assessment

ND Emergency overview: Appearance: Silver grey solid, gray powder. (29-51 is in 1-3 mm random sized pieces). Immediate effects: To the best of our knowledge the chemical, physical and toxicological properties of antimony have not been thoroughly investigated and recorded. Antimony and its compounds are irritating to the skin and mucous membranes and are systemic poisons. Effects are reported to include a metallic taste in the mouth, vomiting, colic, loss of appetite and weight, and diarrhea. In addition, dermatitis may result that starts as an inflammation of the hair follicles and can progress through pus formation and sloughing to leave a contracted scar.

Principle Routes of Exposure

ND Signs and Symptoms of Overexposure: See Chronic Exposure. Eyes: May cause severe eye irritation. Skin: Dermatitis may result from repeated skin contact with antimony compounds. Ingestion: May cause severe irritation of lining of stomach and intestines. Inhalation: Inhalation may cause upper respiratory tract irritation and systemic poisoning with symptoms including abdominal pain, nausea, dizziness and dry throat. Chronic Exposure: Liver and kidney abnormalities or pneumonitis may result from chronic antimony exposure. Some animal studies indicate that inhalation of antimony trioxide may pose an increased risk of lung cancer. Chronic inhalation of antimony trioxide is reported to produce a reduction in white blood cells and damage to the liver.
