SECTION 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

The health effects of the product have not been thoroughly investigated. Data on toxicological effects of the hazardous ingredients are provided
bellow.
11.1 Information on toxicological effects
Symptoms and effects for each route of exposure:
Dermal: May cause skin irritation.
Ingestion: Ingestion may cause irritation to the gastrointestinal mucous membranes.
Inhalation: May cause irritation to the mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract.
Contact with eyes: May cause eye irritation.
Toxicokinetic effects (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion):
1,2-dibromo-2,4-dicyanobutane (MDBGN ) is readily absorbed following oral and dermal administration. Once inside the body, is rapidly
metabolised to 2-MGN before eventually being eliminated from the body, mostly via urine. Debromination of MDBGN occurs prior to
systemic distribution; therefore, tissue exposure to parent chemical is expected to be low. (10)
Formaldehyde is rapidly absorbed from the respiratory tract and gastrointestinal and poorly absorbed following dermal application. The
substance will partition into richly vascularized organs, haematopoietic organs, gastrointestinal mucosa, exocrine pancreas, salivary
glands. Formaldehyde is metabolized by the enzyme formaldehyde dehydrogenase to formate and then the carbon atom is oxidized to
carbon dioxide or incorporated into purines, thymidine and aminoacids. Both formaldehyde and formate does not accumulate in tissues.

Formaldehyde
Other data: not available
Corrosion/Irritation
Skin Corrosion/Irritation 1,2-dibromo-2,4-dicyanobutane (Technical 98%) was severe irritant to rabbit skin. (14)
Formaldehyde: Formaldehyde solutions cause irritation through to necrosis to the skin. Aqueous
solutions of 0.1% to 20% formaldehyde were irritating to rabbit skin. No skin irritation was seen at
0.1%. Brownish discoloration of the skin and nails, damage to the nail substance, inflammation of the
nail fold, blistering, inflammation and hardening of the skin were observed following intensive contact
with 4 - 10 % solutions. (4)(6)
Serious eye damage/ irritation 1,2-dibromo-2,4-dicyanobutane : In pure form (98%) is a severe eye irritant. Instillation of 1,2-
dibromo-2,4-dicyanobutane powder into the rabbit eye resulted in severe irritation, which persisted for
at least 21 days post-instillation.(10)
Formaldehyde: Depending on the concentration and medical treatment, contact of formaldehyde
solutions with the eyes causes slight, rapidly reversible irritation (eg due to 0.2 % solution) up to
persistent damage (permanent corneal opacity eg following contact with 40 % solution). (4)
Sensitization:
Skin sensitization: 1,2-dibromo-2,4-dicyanobutane : is a skin sensitizer agent, based on in vivo and in vitro animal data,
(10)(15)
and based on human data.
Formaldehyde: The strong skin sensitizing properties of formaldehyde have been proven in numerous
animal studies. In the LLNA in mice, an EC3 value of 0.29% has been established. In the human repeat
insult patch test, positive responses started at 1% (7)
Respiratory sensitization: Formaldehyde: available human and animal data indicates formaldehyde in air is unlikely to induce
respiratory sensitization.
CMR effects
Germ cell mutagenicity; 1,2-dibromo-2,4-dicyanobutane: did not show evidence of mutagenic activity in a variety of in vitro and
in vivo assays, except for one assay where increased frequencies of chromosomal aberrations in CHO
.
cells were observed in an in vitro chromosomal aberration test (10)(16)

Formaldehyde: Formaldehyde has been demonstrated as being genotoxic and mutagenic in vitro as
(7)(8)
well as in vivo at local sites of exposure, both in animals and humans.
Reproductive toxicity: 1,2-dibromo-2,4-dicyanobutane: In a study in rats exposed to 1,2-dibromo-2,4-dicyanobutane, a
NOAEL for developmental toxicity was determined to be 175 mg/kg bw. Available information suggests
that the substance is neither a reproductive nor a developmental toxin at doses that are not associated
with maternal toxicity. (1)(12)(16)
Formaldehyde: Based on animal and limited epidemiology data, formaldehyde is unlikely to cause
(6)
reproductive and developmental effects at exposures relevant to humans.
Carcinogenesis: Substances listed in the National Toxicology Program (NTP) Report on Carcinogens, in the International
Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) Monographs or found to be potential carcinogen by OSHA:
Substance OSHA IARC NTP
Formaldehyde no Group 1 (2012) - Carcinogenic to Known to be Human
humans Carcinogens
No other component listed
1,2-dibromo-2,4-dicyanobutane: Under the conditions of 2-year dermal studies there was no evidence
of carcinogenic activity of 1,2-dibromo-2,4- dicyanobutane in male or female rats administered 2, 6, or
18 mg/kg. (10)(16)

Formaldehyde: IARC (2004) reclassified formaldehyde from “probably carcinogenic to humans” (Group
2A) to “carcinogenic to humans” (Group 1) based on findings for nasal cancers from a large scale
epidemiologic study conducted by the US National Cancer Institute. In 2012, this classification was re-
affirmed by IARC after consideration of new studies.(7) The European Committee for Risk Assessment
RAC (2012) evaluated all available data and concluded the classification of the substance as Carc. 1B
for the following reasons: there is limited evidence of carcinogenicity in humans mainly from the
positive association of nasopharyngeal tumors in industrial cohorts; there is sufficient evidence of
carcinogenicity from animal studies to conclude that formaldehyde is a presumed human carcinogen;
formaldehyde is genotoxic in somatic cells at the site of contact.(8)
There are concerns of an increased risk for formaldehyde-induced myeloid leukemia, however, the data
are not considered sufficient to establish a causal association. (6)
STOT –single exposure Formaldehyde: is irritant to caustic for the respiratory system.
STOT – repeated exposure 1,2-dibromo-2,4-dicyanobutane : In long-term repeat feeding studies in animals, the observed effects
were thyroid follicular cell hypertrophy, thyroid hyperplasia, increased pigmentation of the liver and
spleen and increased extramedullary hematopoiesis when administered at high doses (4000 ppm) in
dogs. Follow-up studies found no significant changes in levels of thyroid hormones. Repeated dermal
application of 1,2-dibromo-2,4-dicyanobutane was associated with moderate to severe erythema and
slight to moderate edema. (10)(16)
Formaldehyde: Formaldehyde causes toxic effects only in the tissues of direct contact after inhalation,
oral or dermal exposure characterized by local cytotoxic destruction. Based on the available human and
animal data formaldehyde does not meet the criteria for classification as causing serious damage to
health by prolonged exposure through inhalation, ingestion or dermal contact. (6)
Aspiration hazards Not available.
Other information: Not available.
Reasons for the lack of classification:
Where the mixture resulted in a non-classification, this may be due to the availability of data which does not impose a classification for
that specific end-point, or due to lack of data, or due to availability of inconclusive data or data which are not sufficient to get a
classification as for the criteria adopted in Regulations mentioned in this data sheet.

SECTION 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

The health effects of the product have not been thoroughly investigated. Data on toxicological effects of the hazardous ingredients are provided
bellow.
11.1 Information on toxicological effects
Symptoms and effects for each route of exposure:
Dermal: May cause skin irritation.
Ingestion: Ingestion may cause irritation to the gastrointestinal mucous membranes.
Inhalation: May cause irritation to the mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract.
Contact with eyes: May cause eye irritation.
Toxicokinetic effects (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion):
1,2-dibromo-2,4-dicyanobutane (MDBGN ) is readily absorbed following oral and dermal administration. Once inside the body, is rapidly
metabolized to 2-MGN before eventually being eliminated from the body, mostly via urine. Debromination of MDBGN occurs prior to
systemic distribution; therefore, tissue exposure to parent chemical is expected to be low. (10)
Formaldehyde is rapidly absorbed from the respiratory tract and gastrointestinal and poorly absorbed following dermal application. The
substance will partition into richly vascularized organs, hematopoietic organs, gastrointestinal mucosa, exocrine pancreas, salivary
glands. Formaldehyde is metabolized by the enzyme formaldehyde dehydrogenase to formate and then the carbon atom is oxidized to
carbon dioxide or incorporated into purines, thymidine and aminoacids. Both formaldehyde and formate does not accumulate in tissues.

Formaldehyde
Other data: not available
Corrosion/Irritation
Skin Corrosion/Irritation 1,2-dibromo-2,4-dicyanobutane (Technical 98%) was severe irritant to rabbit skin. (14)
Formaldehyde: Formaldehyde solutions cause irritation through to necrosis to the skin. Aqueous
solutions of 0.1% to 20% formaldehyde were irritating to rabbit skin. No skin irritation was seen at
0.1%. Brownish discoloration of the skin and nails, damage to the nail substance, inflammation of the
nail fold, blistering, inflammation and hardening of the skin were observed following intensive contact
with 4 - 10 % solutions. (4)(6)
Serious eye damage/ irritation 1,2-dibromo-2,4-dicyanobutane : In pure form (98%) is a severe eye irritant. Instillation of 1,2-
dibromo-2,4-dicyanobutane powder into the rabbit eye resulted in severe irritation, which persisted for
at least 21 days post-instillation.(10)
Formaldehyde: Depending on the concentration and medical treatment, contact of formaldehyde
solutions with the eyes causes slight, rapidly reversible irritation (eg due to 0.2 % solution) up to
persistent damage (permanent corneal opacity eg following contact with 40 % solution). (4)
Sensitization:
Skin sensitization: 1,2-dibromo-2,4-dicyanobutane : is a skin sensitizer agent, based on in vivo and in vitro animal data,
(10)(15)
and based on human data.
Formaldehyde: The strong skin sensitizing properties of formaldehyde have been proven in numerous
animal studies. In the LLNA in mice, an EC3 value of 0.29% has been established. In the human repeat
insult patch test, positive responses started at 1% (7)
Respiratory sensitization: Formaldehyde: available human and animal data indicates formaldehyde in air is unlikely to induce
respiratory sensitization.
CMR effects
Germ cell mutagenicity; 1,2-dibromo-2,4-dicyanobutane: did not show evidence of mutagenic activity in a variety of in vitro and
in vivo assays, except for one assay where increased frequencies of chromosomal aberrations in CHO
.
cells were observed in an in vitro chromosomal aberration test (10)(16)

Formaldehyde: Formaldehyde has been demonstrated as being genotoxic and mutagenic in vitro as
(7)(8)
well as in vivo at local sites of exposure, both in animals and humans.
Reproductive toxicity: 1,2-dibromo-2,4-dicyanobutane: In a study in rats exposed to 1,2-dibromo-2,4-dicyanobutane, a
NOAEL for developmental toxicity was determined to be 175 mg/kg bw. Available information suggests
that the substance is neither a reproductive nor a developmental toxin at doses that are not associated
with maternal toxicity. (1)(12)(16)
Formaldehyde: Based on animal and limited epidemiology data, formaldehyde is unlikely to cause
(6)
reproductive and developmental effects at exposures relevant to humans.

Formaldehyde: IARC (2004) reclassified formaldehyde from “probably carcinogenic to humans” (Group
2A) to “carcinogenic to humans” (Group 1) based on findings for nasal cancers from a large scale
epidemiologic study conducted by the US National Cancer Institute. In 2012, this classification was re-
affirmed by IARC after consideration of new studies.(7) The European Committee for Risk Assessment
RAC (2012) evaluated all available data and concluded the classification of the substance as Carc. 1B
for the following reasons: there is limited evidence of carcinogenicity in humans mainly from the
positive association of nasopharyngeal tumors in industrial cohorts; there is sufficient evidence of
carcinogenicity from animal studies to conclude that formaldehyde is a presumed human carcinogen;
formaldehyde is genotoxic in somatic cells at the site of contact.(8)
There are concerns of an increased risk for formaldehyde-induced myeloid leukemia, however, the data
are not considered sufficient to establish a causal association. (6)
STOT –single exposure Formaldehyde: is irritant to caustic for the respiratory system.
STOT – repeated exposure 1,2-dibromo-2,4-dicyanobutane : In long-term repeat feeding studies in animals, the observed effects
were thyroid follicular cell hypertrophy, thyroid hyperplasia, increased pigmentation of the liver and
spleen and increased extramedullary hematopoiesis when administered at high doses (4000 ppm) in
dogs. Follow-up studies found no significant changes in levels of thyroid hormones. Repeated dermal
application of 1,2-dibromo-2,4-dicyanobutane was associated with moderate to severe erythema and
slight to moderate edema. (10)(16)
Formaldehyde: Formaldehyde causes toxic effects only in the tissues of direct contact after inhalation,
oral or dermal exposure characterized by local cytotoxic destruction. Based on the available human and
animal data formaldehyde does not meet the criteria for classification as causing serious damage to
health by prolonged exposure through inhalation, ingestion or dermal contact. (6)
Aspiration hazards Not available.
Other information: Not available.
Reasons for the lack of classification:
Where the mixture resulted in a non-classification, this may be due to the availability of data which does not impose a classification for
that specific end-point, or due to lack of data, or due to availability of inconclusive data or data which are not sufficient to get a
classification as for the criteria adopted in Regulations mentioned in this data sheet.

SECTION 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

The health effects of the product have not been thoroughly investigated. Data on toxicological effects of the hazardous ingredients are provided
bellow.
11.1 Information on toxicological effects
Symptoms and effects for each route of exposure:
Dermal: Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause irritation.
Ingestion: Ingestion may cause irritation to the gastrointestinal mucous membranes.
Inhalation: Inhalation of the product may cause irritation to respiratory ways.
Contact with eyes: May cause irritation.
Toxicokinetic effects (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion):
Calcium chloride : is easily dissociated into calcium and chloride ions in water. The absorption, the distribution and the excretion of the
(1)
ions in animals are regulated separately. Both ions are essential constituents of the body of all animals.
Sodium azide is rapidly absorbed from the respiratory and gastrointestinal tract, and from injection sites. It is also rapidly absorbed by
the lungs, and through the skin. The degree of skin penetration via undamaged skin is not clear. The azide anion appeared within 5 min
in the plasma of rats following oral administration of 40 mg/kg sodium azide. After 24 h, no more azide could be detected in either
plasma or tissue. Sodium azide penetrates the blood-brain barrier and is mainly metabolized in the liver. Its main metabolite in the liver
is nitric oxide. Azide anions may be metabolized to nitric oxide (NO) also in the CNS. In aqueous solution, it rapidly transforms into
hydrazoic acid, which may be responsible for the irritating effects attributed to sodium azide. Following oral administration of 40 mg/kg
sodium azide, no sodium azide was detectable in the feces or in exhaled air and only 7.9 μg were excreted in the 24 h urine.(6)(7)(8)
Acute toxicity Value m.u. Effects Related to
(1)
Oral: LD50 (rat) =3,798 - 4,179 mg/Kg The acute oral toxicity is attributed Calcium chloride
LD50 (rabbit)=500 – 1,000 to the severe irritating property of
the original substance or its high-
concentration solutions to the
gastrointestinal tract.
(9)
LD50 (rat) = 27 mg/kg Sodium azide
(1)
Dermal: LD50 (rabbit) > 5,000 mg/Kg Calcium chloride

In the study of Potocar et al. (1985), 3 surviving animals were exposed to 500- Sodium azide
1000 mg/kg sodium azide for 1 hour and then to half of that dose for three
additional hours on their skins. These data do not support the dermal lethal
dose (LD) of sodium azide for rabbits of 18-21 mg/kg, based on a
Bassendowska and Kowalski (1961) dermal irritation study, where a single
rabbit, exposed to 60 mg substance via the skin, died after 6 hours. Not
classified in accordance with the opinion of the European scientific committee.
Inhalation: LC50 (rat) > 40 mg/m3/4h (1)
Calcium chloride
3 (9)
LC50 (rat) = 37 mg/m Sodium azide
Other data: The most commonly reported health effect from azide exposure is hypotension, almost independent of
route of exposure. Fatal doses occur with exposures of > or =700 mg (10 mg/kg). Nonlethal doses
ranged from 0.3 to 150 mg (0.004 to 2 mg/kg). Onset of hypotension within minutes or in less than an
hour is indicative of a pharmacological response and a benign course. Hypotension with late onset (>1
hour) constitutes an ominous sign for death.(10)
Corrosion/Irritation
Skin Corrosion/Irritation Calcium chloride is not irritating for the skin. (1)
Sodium azide: Dermal (semi-occlusive and occlusive) exposure to 0.5 g/patch solid sodium azide for 1
hour did not produce signs of local irritation in rabbits, whereas exposure for 4 hours was corrosive. .(7)
In an in vitro Skin Irritation Reconstructed Human Epidermis (RhE) Test Method (9 September 2009),
sodium azide was nonirritant to skin. (8) Non classified in accordance with the opinion of the European
scientific committee.
(1)
Serious eye damage/ irritation Calcium chloride is irritating for the eyes.
Sodium azide: In a Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability Test Method for Identifying Ocular
(8)
Corrosives and Severe Irritants (September, 2009) was not considered to be an eye irritant.
Sensitization:
Skin sensitization: Calcium chloride: Due to lack of data the classification is not possible.
Sodium azide: In a Mouse local lymphnode assay (LLNA) (OECD Guideline 429), sodium azide was not
(8)
a skin sensitizer.
Respiratory sensitization: Not available.
CMR effects
Germ cell mutagenicity; Calcium chloride: Genetic toxicity of calcium chloride was negative in the bacterial mutation tests and
(1)
the mammalian chromosome aberration test.
Sodium azide : is highly mutagenic in many plant and bacterial species but marginally mutagenic in
mammalian cells. Sodium azide was mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA100 and TA1535
with or without exogenous metabolic activation (S9); it was not mutagenic in strain TA1537 or TA98.
Mutagenicity as observed in bacteria is not relevant for mammals, because of the specific metabolism of
sodium azide in bacteria. The existing data support the conclusion that azide may be further modified in
mammalian cells to an intermediate that is not genotoxic. (7)(11) Negative in a Chromosomal aberration
test. In a Cytogenetic tests with Chinese hamster ovary cells, Sodium azide induced sister chromatid
exchanges, but not chromosomal aberrations. (12) No studies in mammals are available to adequately
assess germ cell effects. (9)
Reproductive toxicity: Calcium chloride: No reproductive toxicity study has been reported. A developmental toxicity study
equivalent to an OECD Guideline Study reveals no toxic effects on dams or fetuses at doses up to 189
mg/kg bw/day (mice), 176 mg/kg bw/day (rats) and 169 mg/kg bw/day (rabbits). (1)
Sodium azide: Insufficient data are available for an assessment of the reproductive toxicity.(14)
Carcinogenesis: Substances listed in the National Toxicology Program (NTP) Report on Carcinogens, in the International
Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) Monographs or found to be potential carcinogen by OSHA:
Substance OSHA IARC NTP
No component listed
Sodium azide: Two long-term oral studies in rats provided no convincing evidence of carcinogenicity,
although in both cases the suitability of the test doses has been questioned. At concentrations of 5 and
10 mg/kg sodium azide there was no evidence of carcinogenicity in rats during a 2-year study.(13)
STOT –single exposure Sodium azide is not an irritant but is rapidly hydrolysed to hydrazoic acid in the acidic environment of
mucous membranes and the tracheobronchial tree. (7) Hydrazoic acid vapor in concentrations of 0.5
ml/m3 (0.9 mg/m3) or more caused irritation of the nasal mucosa. Irritation of the conjunctiva has also
been described. (14) Non classified in accordance with the opinion of the European scientific committee.

STOT – repeated exposure Calcium chloride: A study for repeated dose oral toxicity in rats shows no adverse effect of calcium
chloride on rats fed 20 mg CaCl2/g diet (comparable to 1000 mg/kg bw/day or more) for 12 months.(1)
Sodium azide: Repeated oral administration caused brain and lung damage in rats, but no such effects
have apparently been seen in a corresponding mouse study.(13) Non classified in accordance with the
opinion of the European scientific committee.
Aspiration hazards Not available.
Other information: The occupational neuropsychotoxicology of sodium azide was investigated annually, for three years in
41 sodium azide exposed workers in a chemical production plant, compared to 42 unexposed ones
working in the same plant. Exposed workers presented significantly more acute symptoms of exposure
than unexposed workers. Symptoms reported included headache, vertigo, nausea, fatigue, cardiac
palpitations, irritated or red eyes. The only recurring chronic symptom was trembling of the hands. No
psychological or neuropsychological tests differentiated the exposed from the unexposed group. (7)
Reasons for the lack of classification:
Where the mixture resulted in a non-classification, this may be due to the availability of data which does not impose a classification for
that specific end-point, or due to lack of data, or due to availability of inconclusive data or data which are not sufficient to get a
classification as for the criteria adopted in Regulations mentioned in this data sheet.

(8)
Toxicity data on birds, bees and In a bioassay comparable to OECD guideline 208 with slight restrictions, 10 Sodium azide
plants: ppm sodium azide in the soil significantly reduced germination and growth in
plant species tested, whereas the growth was mostly affected at
concentrations above 5 ppm, exhibiting a delay in plant germination. After
dissipation of sodium azide normal growth proceeded.
12.2 Persistency and Once emitted into the environment, calcium chloride, which has a high water solubility, will dissociate
degradability: into the calcium cation and the chloride anion. The calcium ion may bind to soil particulate or may
form stable inorganic salts with sulphate and carbonate ions.
12.3 Bioaccumulation potential: Considering its dissociation properties, Calcium chloride per se is not expected to accumulate in living
organisms.
12.4 Mobility in soil: The dissipation of azides in soil is not by microbial action but is strictly a chemical process accelerated
by increasing acidity and elevated temperatures. (10)
The chloride ion is mobile in soil and eventually drains into surface water because it is readily dissolved
in water.
