Definition
Oral Toxicity:
Rat LD50 > 100,000 mg/kg
Dermal Toxicity:
Not absorbed topically
Inhalation toxicity:
Human, guinea pig and rabbit; exposure to aerosols and dusts of small
particle size produced no evidence of harmful effects.
Skin irritation:
Human repeat insult patch test; not a primary irritant.
Eye irritation:
Rabbit; no irritation observed.
Sensitizer:
No. Human repeat insult patch test; not a sensitizer.
US DOT Corrosive:
No data found.
Primary routes of entry:
Contact
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure
Symptoms of ingestion:
No effects of exposure expected.
Symptoms of inhalation:
No effects of exposure expected
Symptoms of skin contact:
No effects of exposure expected due to absorption or contact. May possibly
cause irritation or dermatitis in some individuals upon prolonged contact.
Symptoms of eye contact:
No effects of exposure expected with the exception of possible irritation.
Medical conditions aggravated by exposure:
No data found
Other Toxicity:
Other accute toxicity:
No data found
Sub chronic oral toxicity:
Rodent and dog studies: No adverse effect level exceeds 10% of total diet;
no evidence of carcinogenic activity.
Sub chronic inhalation toxicity:
No data found.
Sub chronic miscellaneous toxicity:
No data found
Aquatic toxicity:
No data found
Tumorigenicity:
Chronic rodent and dog feeding studies show that the no adverse effect level
exceeds 10% of the diet with no evidence of carcinogenic activity.
Mutagenicity:
PVP was tested in the Ames Assay; dominant lethal test on mice: L5178Y Mouse
(TK +/-) Lymphoma assay; bone marrow chromosomal abberation assay; and the
BALB/C3T3 transformation. In each case PVP was found not to be metagenic.
Reproductive toxicity:
Teratology studies with PVP concentrations up to 10% of the diet show no
embryotoxicity, petotoxicity or teratogenicity.
Miscellaneous toxicity:
No data found.
