4 SECTION 11: TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION Information on toxicological effects Toxic Dose 1 - LD 50 Toxicological Information >1000 mg / Kg (oral, rat) Lead chromate pigments are practically insoluble. However, gastric fluid dissolves small quantities of lead which might accumulate in part of human body. Following long-term intake of lead compounds, the bio synthesis of Hemoglobine may be affected irreversibly. General Information EC cat R3 Reproduction-toxic: risk of impaired fertility. EC cat R1 Reproduction-toxic: teratogenic. EC cat C3 Category 3 corresponds to: "Substances which cause concern for man owing to possible carcinogenic effects but in respect of which the information available is not sufficient to make a satisfactory assessment". SECTION 12: ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION Toxicity LC 50, 96 Hrs, Fish mg/l EC 50, 48 Hrs, Daphnia, mg/l Persistence and degradability Degradability: >10, 000 mg / litre, Leuciscus idus 100mg / litre, Daphnia magna Inorganic, water insoluble product. Can be separated in waste water treatment plants by filtration or sedimentation. Highly alkaline or cidic liquids may dissolve heavy metals. Fate in environmental systems - due to its contents of Pd and Cr (VI), any discharges into the environment must be avoided. Special waste water treatment processes are required Bioaccumulative potential Mobility in soil Results of PBT and vpvb assessment Other adverse effects SECTION 13: DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS Waste treatment methods Dispose of waste and residues in accordance with local authority requirements.
