Toxicological information

• Acute toxicity:

LD L0 oral rat : 5.000 mg/kg

• Dangerous effects for health:

For nickel compounds generally: Inorganic nickel compounds can have an astringent action on the mucosae. Can cause sensitization allergic reaction Can cause dermatitis Contrasted experiments lead to assume an inverse relation between the hydrosolubility of the nickel compound and its carcinogenic effect:increased hydrosolubility represents a decreased carcinogenic effect. Carcinogenic in animal testing. Other dangerous characteristics are not discarded. Take the usual precautions for handling chemical products.

Considerations regarding elimination

13.1 Substance or preparation:

In the European Union, there are no homogeneous standards established for elimination of chemical waste, which is waste of a special nature, and treatment and elimination of same is subject to the domestic legislation in each country.

In view of this, in each case, you should contact the competent authority or those companies legally authorized for elimination of waste.

2001/573/EC: Council Decision of 23 July 2001 amending Commission Decision 2000/532/EC as regards the list of wastes.Council Directive 91/156/EEC of 18 March 1991 amending Directive 75/442/EEC on waste.

.

13.2 Contaminated containers:

Contaminated containers and packaging of dangerous substances or preparations must be treated in the same manner as the actual products contained in them.

European Parliament and Council Directive 94/62/EC of 20 December 1994 on packaging and packaging waste.
