Neurotoxicity
Administrative data
Description of key information
The toxicology of sulphuric acid has been adequately described. The hazards associated with its corrosive or irritant nature (depending on the dilution) are known, and appropriate risk and safety phrases are in place. The immediate dissociation to hydrogen and sulphate ions in water, and the ubiquitous nature of both of those ions in physiological processes render further testing unnecessary.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Effect on neurotoxicity: via oral route
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
Effect on neurotoxicity: via inhalation route
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
Effect on neurotoxicity: via dermal route
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
Additional information
The toxicology of sulphuric acid has been adequately described. The hazards associated with its corrosive or irritant nature (depending on the dilution) are known, and appropriate risk and safety phrases are in place. The dissociation to hydrogen and sulphate ions in water coupled with the ubiquitous nature of both of those ions in physiological processes render further testing unnecessary.
