11. Toxicological information

During processing (e.g. cutting) paper dust may be generated. The dust concentration is below the recom-
mended exposure limits for general dust and not represented a hazard.
Based on manufacturer data of the main components the acute toxicity, the skin irritation, corrosive effect,
sensitisation, carcinogenity, mutagenicity and toxicity for reproduction were evaluated. When normal used,
the product does not have any harmful effects to our experience and the information provided to us.
Acute toxicity
Sodium nitrite (100%): LD50 oral rat 85-180 mg/kg (literature value)

12. Ecological information

There are no ecotoxicological data available. Due to the properties of the article, a hazard to the environ-
ment may not be expected.

13. Disposal considerations

Product recommendation:
AVV 15 01 01 (paper and cardboard packaging)
The European Waste Catalogue is structured according to origin. The final waste classification must be
assigned according to the specific industry and user. If contamination can result from the use of this article,
a new classification may be required.
