TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION ### 11.1 Information on toxicological effects * **Acute toxicity:** May be harmful if swallowed, in contact with skin, and/or if inhaled. * **Skin:** Contact may result in irritation, redness, pain, rash, dermatitis and possible burns. * **Eye:** Contact may result in irritation, lacrimation, pain, redness and possible serious eye damage. * **Sensitisation:** Not classified as causing skin or respiratory sensitisation. * **Mutagenicity:** Not classified as a mutagen. * **Carcinogenicity:** Not classified as a carcinogen. * **Reproductive:** Not classified as a reproductive toxin. * **STOT - single exposure:** Over exposure may result in irritation of the nose and throat, with coughing. High level exposure may result in breathing difficulties. Aluminium sulphate hydrolyses to form sulphuric acid. * **STOT - repeated exposure:** Not classified as causing organ damage from repeated exposure. * **Aspiration:** Not classified as causing aspiration. --- ## 12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION ### 12.1 Toxicity Aluminium ammonium sulphate is of low environment toxicity. ### 12.2 Persistence and degradability For inorganic metal salts the concept of biodegradation is not applicable in general (OECD, 2001). Removal of aluminum from solution via precipitation and abiotic processes is dominant. Aluminum is abundant in the environment from natural mineral sources. ### 12.3 Bioaccumulative potential Bioaccumulation and secondary poisoning are not considered significant.

OTHER INFORMATION **Additional information:** * **ACIDS:** When mixing acids with water (diluting), caution must be taken as heat will be generated which causes violent spattering. Always add a small volume of acid to a large volume of water, NEVER the reverse. * **RESPIRATORS:** In general the use of respirators should be limited and engineering controls employed to avoid exposure. If respiratory equipment must be worn ensure correct respirator selection and training is undertaken. Remember that some respirators may be extremely uncomfortable when used for long periods. The use of air powered or air supplied respirators should be considered where prolonged or repeated use is necessary. * **PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT GUIDELINES:** The recommendation for protective equipment contained within this report is provided as a guide only. Factors such as form of product, method of application, working environment, quantity used, product concentration and the availability of engineering controls should be considered before final selection of personal protective equipment is made. * **HEALTH EFFECTS FROM EXPOSURE:** It should be noted that the effects from exposure to this product will depend on several factors including: form of product; frequency and duration of use; quantity used; effectiveness of control measures; protective equipment used and method of application. Given that it is impractical to prepare a report which would encompass all possible scenarios, it is anticipated that users will assess the risks and apply control methods where appropriate. **Abbreviations:** * **ACGIH:** American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists * **CAS #:** Chemical Abstract Service number - used to uniquely identify chemical compounds * **CNS:** Central Nervous System * **EC No.:** EC No - European Community Number * **EMS:** Emergency Schedules (Emergency Procedures for Ships Carrying Dangerous Goods) * **GHS:** Globally Harmonized System * **GTEPG:** Group Text Emergency Procedure Guide * **IARC:** International Agency for Research on Cancer * **LC50:** Lethal Concentration, 50% / Median Lethal Concentration * **LD50:** Lethal Dose, 50% / Median Lethal Dose * **mg/m³:** Milligrams per Cubic Metre * **OEL:** Occupational Exposure Limit * **pH:** relates to hydrogen ion concentration using a scale of 0 (high acidic) to 14 (highly alkaline). * **ppm:** Parts Per Million * **STEL:** Short-Term Exposure Limit * **STOT-RE:** Specific target organ toxicity (repeated exposure) * **STOT-SE:** Specific target organ toxicity (single exposure) * **SUSMP:** Standard for the Uniform Scheduling of Medicines and Poisons * **SWA:** Safe Work Australia * **TLV:** Threshold Limit Value * **TWA:** Time Weighted Average **Report status:** This document has been compiled by RMT on behalf of the manufacturer, importer or supplier of the product and serves as their Safety Data Sheet ('SDS').
