No information available. Single exposure: From the data from studies in humans it can be concluded that Ca(OH)2 irritates the respiratory tract. As recommended in the SCOEL (Anonymus, 2008), calcium dihydroxide is classified as irritating to the respiratory tract (R37, Irritating to the resp. system; STOT SE 3 (H335). By analogy, these results can be applied for the product itself. Repeated exposure: no toxicological effects.

Inorganic substance: does not comply with the criteria for the classification as PBT or vpvb. 1, slightly hazardous Do not allow undiluted product or large quantities of it to reach ground water, waterways or sewage system. Harmful to aquatic organisms caused by a ph shift. Acute ph Effect. Although this product can be used to neutralize acidified water, water organisms can be damaged when 1 g/l is exceeded. The ph value > 12 is rapidly reduced due to dilution and carbonization.
