11.1 ROUTES OF ENTRY
Eyes? NOSkin? NO

Inhalation? YES

Ingestion? NO

11.2. EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE
EYE CONTACT: May cause mechanical irritation if exposed to large amounts of dust.
SKIN CONTACT: No adverse effects expected.
INHALATION: May cause irritation of the respiratory tract.
INGESTION: No adverse effects expected.
11.3. CARCINOGENICITY
IARC has determinated that there is no data of evidence of carcinogenicity to humans and inadequate
evidence of carcinogenicity to experimental animals (Class 3).
The epidemiological studies as well as the in vitro and in vivo studies on sepiolite produced by TOLSA
have demonstrated no carcinogenic effects.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Sepiolita is a naturally occurring clay mineral with no adverse effects on the environment.
The manufacture of these sepiolite-based products does not produce polluting wastes and does not alter theenvironment.
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONThis material does not require special disposal method. However spent material may be contaminated withthe absorbed products and may require special disposal methods. Consult with appropriate regulatoryauthorities.
