11. Toxicological information
11.1.- Acute toxicity
Substantial independent research has been conducted into the health effect of mineral wool and humans. There is no evidence that mineral wool presents any risk to production workers or end users today, or has done in the past 20 to 30 years. In the general environment levels of exposure are minute, and no hazard is posed to the public.
11.2.- Skin Corrosion/irritation
Substance may cause slight skin irritation : wear gloves
11.3.-Eyes
irritation possible :ear glasses
11.4.- Respiratory
Irritation possible : wear mask
11.5.- Others
The EU have classified most mineral wools as R38 – Irritant to skin only providing that the manufacturers can supply a toxicological report which sates that in a short-term bio persistence test by inhalation that fibres longer than 20μm have a weighted half life less than 10 days. The fibres used in this product comply with that standard.
In situations where mineral wool is being handled, steps should be taken to ensure that exposure to dust is kept at a minimum reasonable level, and not in excess of control limits.
