Section 2
SECTION 2: Hazards identification
Emergency overview Boric Acid is a white, odorless, powder substance that is not flammable, combustible, or explosive and has low acute oral and dermal toxicity. Potential ecological effects Large amounts of Boric Acid can be harmful to plants and other species. Therefore, releases to the environment should be minimized.
Principle Routes of Exposure
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 the nose and throat may occur from inhalation of Boric Acid dust at levels greater than 10 mg/m3. Eye contact: Boric Acid is non-irritating to the eyes in normal industrial use. Skin contact: Boric Acid does not cause irritation to intact skin.
