9 972 4 9978 220, Fax. 972 4 9976 062 Skin irritation page 4 of 6 skin, rabbit, 500 mg, 24 hr, mild. zinc OXIDE is irritant on skin in the case of humans. Skin inflammation is characterized by itching, scaling, reddening and occasionally blistering. Eye irritation Slightly irritating (rabbit). Slight erythema of the conjunctiva for 2 days, no effect on iris and cornea. Sensitisation No sensitizing potential (guinea pig), Magnusson & Kligman CMR effects (carcinogenicity, mutagenicity and toxicity for reproduction) Mutagenic for mammalian somatic cells.

10 Mutagenic for bacteria and/or yeast. Mutagenic Effects May affect genetic material (mutagenic). Reprotoxic Effects May cause adverse reproductive effects based on animal data . Carcinogenic Effects No evidence of carcinogenicity in laboratory animals or in man. Other Toxic Effects on Humans: Inhalation: May cause mechanical irritation of the respiratory tract. A few sources claim that finely divided zinc OXIDE dust can cause "metal fume fever." zinc OXIDE dust is generally considered a nuisance dust; adverse effects are unlikely when exposures are kept under reasonable control. Inhalation of high concentrations of zinc OXIDE fume or dust may cause "Metal Fume Fever.
