SECTION 11 TOXICOLOGICAL DATA


 ACUTE TOXICITY: No data available
 CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS: No components of this product present at levels greater than or equal to 0.1% is identified a carcinogen.
 MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Not available
 TETRATOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available
 CHRONIC TOXICITY: Lanthanons can cause delayed blood clotting leading to hemorrhages. Exposure may also lead to sensitivity to
 heat, itching, increased awareness of odor and taste, and live damage.
 Inorganic bromides may produce depression, emaciation and in severe cases, psychosis and mental deterioration. Bromoderma, a
 bromide rash, often occurs when bromide inhalation or administration is prolonged. This rash is usually found on the face and
 resembles acne and furunculosis.
