Component Analysis - LD50/LC50 

Component Carcinogenicity

An increased risk of adenocarcinoma of the nasal cavities and paranasal sinuses has been reported in various wood working industries This risk occurs mainly in those exposed to wood dust Some studies have suggested there is a moderately high incidence of nasal cancers and Hodgkin's disease in workers exposed to various types of wood dust An increased incidence of urinary bladder, skin, lung, liver, and kidney cancer has been associated with inorganic arsenic compounds through medical treatment, contaminated drinking water, arsenical pesticide residues or occupational exposure Cancers at other sites have also been reported, but a clear association has not been confirmed. 

blood system disorders, diabetes, respiratory disorders, kidney disorders, heart or cardiovascular disorders, skin disorders and allergies, liver disorders, immune system disorders or allergies, respiratory disorders, kidney disorders, skin disorders and allergies, liver disorders, nervous system disorders, skin disorders and allergies, 

May cross the placenta May be excreted in breast milk. 

ARSENIC: Inhalation of inorganic arsenic compounds may cause severe irritation of the nasal mucosa, larynx, and bronchi, cough with foamy sputum, pain in the chest on inspiration, dyspnea, lassitude, cyanosis, giddiness, headache, extreme general weakness, nausea, vomiting, colic, diarrhea, pain in the limbs, initial rise and then fall of temperature, leucocytosis, hypotension, and possibly pulmonary edema CHROMIUM: High concentrations of dusts or fumes may cause irritation WOOD DUST: The dust may be irritating to the mucous membranes COPPER: Powdered dust may cause irritation of the upper respiratory tract and ulceration and perforation of the nasal septum A feeling of illness similar to the common cold has been reported with symptoms of chills and stuffiness of the head Workers exposed to copper dust in concentrations of 0.075 to 0.120 mg/m3 complained of mild nasal discomfort Exposure to copper fume may cause irritation to the mucous membranes Freshly formed copper fumes may cause metal fume fever Symptoms may include a sweet, metallic, or foul taste in the mouth, dry throat, coughing, fever, chills, muscle aches, weakness, lassitude, nausea, rarely vomiting, mild to severe headaches, and sometimes exaggerated mental activity Workers exposed to concentrations of 1 to 3 mg/m3 experienced an altered taste response but no nausea.

CHROMIUM: Repeated or prolonged exposure to various chromium compounds has been reported to result in ulceration and perforation of the nasal septum, irritation of the throat and lower respiratory tract, less commonly in gastrointestinal disturbances, blood changes, pulmonary sensitization, pulmonary pneumoconiosis or fibrosis, and rarely liver effects These effects have not been reported from exposure to the metal per se COPPER: Prolonged industrial exposure may cause a green discoloration of the skin, hair and teeth Welders exposed to copper fume experienced atrophic rhinitis, metallic taste, runny nose, and mucosal irritation of the mouth and eyes Exposure in animals has caused destruction of red blood cells and lung cell injury It is inconclusive as to whether prolonged exposure has any affect on the nervous system A small number of studies suggest an affinity of copper for the sympathetic system, however, there is no proof that chronic poisoning will affect either the central or peripheral nervous system ARSENIC: May cause weakness, loss of appetite, nausea, occasional vomiting, a sense of heaviness in the stomach, diarrhea, salivation, upper respiratory inflammation and discharge, conjunctivitis, a catarrhal state of the mucous membranes of the nose, larynx, and respiratory passages, coryza, hoarseness, mild tracheobronchitis, and perforation of the nasal septum Skin lesions may occur and take many forms including increased pigmentation, keratosis of palms and soles eczema-like lesions, pale bands on the fingernails, alopecia and vitiligo Peripheral neuritis may develop initially of the hands and feet, which is usually sensory In very severe cases, motor paralysis may occur; the first muscles affected are usually the toe extensors and the peronei, and in only the most severe cases will paralysis of the flexor muscles of the feet or of the extensor muscles of the hands occur Liver disease with cirrhosis, and depression of bone marrow may occur with various blood dyscrasias including aplastic anemia Inorganic arsenic compounds have been shown to be lung carcinogens in humans The latency time between onset of exposure and the appearance of cancer is usually between 15 and 30 years WOOD DUST: Depending on the species of tree, inhalation of wood dust may cause irritation of the upper respiratory tract, dryness and soreness in the nose and throat which may extend to the larynx and trachea, sneezing, coughing, hoarseness, impairment of nasal mucociliary clearance, nasal obstruction, sweating and frequent headaches Atrophic changes in tissue may occur Various pulmonary diseases may occur such as obstructive lung disease, decreased pulmonary function, and recurrent bronchitis or pneumonitis which may lead to chronic lung damage Studies have revealed that exposure to levels greater than 5 mg/m3 may produce a chronic respiratory disease characterized by prolonged colds, inflammation of the middle ear, sinus, and nosebleeds Allergic reactions to wood dust appear to be very species specific Persons previously exposed to some wood dusts may become sensitized and develop asthma with watery eyes and a runny nose, bouts of sinusitis, right sided pluritic chest pain, cough, yellow sputum, wheezing and dyspnea Hypersensitivity pneumonitis has been reported in several woodworking occupations, however it has been found to be due to microorganisms living on the bark of the tree and not to the wood dust Adverse effects of exotic woods are generally more severe than those woods that grow in temperate climates Therefore, if exposure is to a tropical or exotic wood, irritant and allergic reactions may be more severe than reported above Systemic toxicity may occur due to the presence of alkaloids, glycosides or other toxins with symptoms which may include mydriasis, visual disturbances, salivation, thirst, giddiness, hyperemia, flushed face, swelling and stiffness of the hands and fingers associated with a heavy feeling in the arms, severe headaches, colic, nausea, vomiting, bradycardia, anorexia, somnolence, chest tightness, dyspnea, tachycardia, dysphagia, watery diarrhea with dehydration, anemia, hepatitis, abnormal renal and gastroenteric function, and depressed heart function Prolonged exposure to wood dust of any kind is suspected of causing adenocarcinomas, nasal, lung, larynx, and tongue cancer and Hodgkin's disease especially in the furniture and cabinet-making industries Although there have been differences in the incidences of cancer depending on the type of wood, this difference is thought to be due more to the difference in working conditions, frequency and duration of exposure, and the particle size instead of the difference in woods The average time between the first exposure and the diagnosis of a tumor is 39-43 years and the length of exposure has been reported to be as short as 5 years.

COPPER: May be irritating and cause keratinization Allergic dermatitis although rare, has been reported Dermal absorption is negligible through intact skin CHROMIUM: Contact with dusts or powder may cause irritation ARSENIC: Arsenic and inorganic arsenic compounds irritate the skin with erythema, itching and burning Sensitization dermatitis may occur in previously exposed persons, characterized by eczema with scaling and hyperpigmentation of the skin and hyperkeratosis of the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet Inorganic arsenic compounds are slightly absorbed through the skin when administered in a lipid vehicle Poisoning has caused alopecia, bronzing of the skin, and brittle nails WOOD DUST: Wood dust may cause irritation by mechanical or chemical action Mechanical irritation may occur when splinters become embedded in the skin which are extremely slow to heal and which may become secondarily infected, or when dust mechanically plugs the follicules of exposed skin causing a follicular acneform eruption, or more frequently when dust particles become trapped in clothing causing abrasions Chemical irritation may occur through direct contact with certain woods and cause an irritant dermatitis with possible erythema and blistering of the exposed skin often complicated by erosions and secondary infection The severity however depends on the type of wood and whether the dust particles are hard, soft, dry or moist Some tropical wood dust has been reported to cause intense irritation with multiforme-like eruptions and sometimes a dark brown punctate pigmentation of the skin Skin absorption of the alkaloids, glycosides, or other toxins present in tropical wood may cause systemic toxicity with swelling and stiffness of the hands and fingers associated with a heavy feeling in the arms, severe headaches, visual disturbances, dyspnea, tachycardia, dysphagia and watery diarrhea with dehydration Abnormal renal and gastroenteric function has also been reported to occur Another type of dermatitis termed "woodcutter's eczema" has been reported by woodworkers but studies show this skin disorder is due not to wood dust but to liverworts and lichens which may be present on the wood.

WOOD DUST: Repeated or prolonged exposure may result in sensitization dermatitis The rash usually begins on the dorsa of the hands and forearms, eyelids, face, and neck and may rapidly spread to the genitals through handling in urination In bald men the scalp may also become affected, and if dust drifts inside clothing the sweaty area of the axille, waistband, and groin and sometimes the ankles and dorsa of the feet become affected Mild cases usually have only erythema and slight irritation, but often there is papular or vesicular dermatitis which may progress to chronic dermatitis Severe fissured lichenification of the palms has been reported to occur ARSENIC: Occupational exposure to airborne arsenic may cause two types of skin disorders due to local irritation An eczematous type with erythema, swelling and papules or vesicles and a follicular type with erythema and follicular swelling or follicular pustules Dermatitis is usually localized on the most heavily exposed areas such as the face, back of the neck, forearms, wrists and hands Less frequently the scrotum, the inner surfaces of the thighs, the upper chest and back, and the lower legs around the ankles may be affected Chronic dermal lesions may follow this type of initial reaction but usually only after many years of exposure Hyperkeratosis, warts and melanosis of the skin are conspicuous signs In severe cases, arsenomelanosis is observed on the abdomen, chest, back and scrotum These skin lesions may develop into precancerous and cancerous lesions COPPER: Repeated or prolonged contact may cause irritation and discoloration of the skin CHROMIUM: Repeated or prolonged exposure to various chromium compounds has been reported to cause various types of dermatitis, including eczema, "chrome holes", sensitization, and, in contact with damaged skin, kidney damage These effects have not been reported from exposure to the metal per se.

WOOD DUST: Wood dust may cause irritation by mechanical and/or chemical action Depending on the species of the tree, a variety of effects may occur, especially from tropical wood dust Symptoms may include irritation and inflammation with hyperemia of the conjunctiva, swelling of the lids, discomfort, lacrimation, photophobia, burning pain, edema, complete closure of the eyelids, and occasionally keratitis epithelialis, which may lead to disorders of vision, corneal damage, and blindness COPPER: The dust may cause irritation with redness and pain, tearing, and blurred vision Copper particles in the eye may result in a foreign body response with characteristic discoloration of ocular tissue, degeneration and/or detachment of the retina, and atrophy of the globe CHROMIUM: Contact with dusts or powders may cause irritation ARSENIC: Arsenical dust may cause irritation characterized by itching, burning, watering of the eyes, photophobia and sometimes hyperemia and chemosis.

COPPER: Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may cause conjunctivitis ARSENIC: Repeated or prolonged eye contact with arsenic dust may cause conjunctivitis WOOD DUST: Repeated or prolonged exposure may cause conjunctivitis CHROMIUM: Repeated or prolonged exposure to some chromium compounds may cause conjunctivitis and lacrimation These effects have not been reported from exposure to the metal per se.

ARSENIC: Ingestion of large doses may cause systemic poisoning with delayed symptoms usually appearing one hour after absorption Symptoms may include burning and colicky pains in the esophagus, stomach and bowel, contriction in the throat, difficulty in swallowing, muscular cramps, weakness, a sweetish metallic taste and a garlicky odor of the breath and feces Violent gastroenteritis may occur with vomiting, copious watery or bloody diarrhea containing shreds of mucus, and dehydration with intense thirst and muscular cramps Vertigo, frontal headache, delirium and even mania may develop without prominent gastrointestinal signs Later symptoms may include, cold and clammy skin, fall in blood pressure, extreme weakness, edema of the face and eyelids, tachycardia, vasomotor collapse, convulsions, shock, coma and death due to circulatory failure Death after a fatal dose occurs usually between 12 and 48 hours If the victim recovers, a symmetrical peripheral neuropathy may occur with numbness and paresthesias beginning in the distal extremities, lower limbs before the upper, which spreads rapidly and increases in intensity Motor weakness of the distal extremities may occur and the palsy is likely to affect the long extensors of fingers and toes Horizontal white lines (striations) on the fingernails and toenails are commonly seen and are considered to be a diagnostic accompaniment of arsenical polyneuritis Other adverse effects seen after recovery may include jaundice, oliguria or anuria, anemia, leukopenia and exfoliative dermatitis Inorganic arsenic crosses the placenta barrier, and neonatal death from arsenic has been reported following acute maternal intoxication CHROMIUM: Chromium metal is poorly absorbed by the intestinal tract Absorption of sufficient amounts of some chromium compounds may result in dizziness, intense thirst, abdominal pain, vomiting, shock, oliguria or anuria, and uremia, which may be fatal COPPER: May cause headache, weakness, diarrhea, or weight loss 120 ug/kg ingested by a human caused gastrointestinal disorder with nausea and vomiting WOOD DUST: Hard and soft wood dust has been reported to be non-toxic when ingested However, ingestion of alkaloids, glycosides, or other toxins present in tropical woods may cause systemic toxicity with symptoms of headache, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, bradycardia, dyspnea and somnolence.

ARSENIC: Repeated ingestion of small amounts may cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea alternating with constipation, nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, salivation, malaise, fatigue, and loss of appetite and weight Damage to the nervous system may be apparent with polyneuritis, anesthesias, paresthesia such as burning pain in the hands and feet, and optic neuritis The skin may be affected with pigmentation, localized edema, dermatitis, hyperkeratosis, and alopecia Eye involvement may occur causing conjunctivitis with a sensation of irritation and tearing Pigment spots in the epithelium of both the cornea and conjunctiva may appear Other signs of poisoning may include anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, disturbed erythropoiesis in the bone marrow cells, depressed or disturbed myelopoiesis, hepatitis, cirrhosis or noncirrhotic portal entry Skin and lung cancer in humans is associated with chronic exposure to arsenic Repeated administration to female rats prior to mating produced effects on fertility Repeated administration during gestation produced specific developmental abnormalities in the offspring CHROMIUM: No data available WOOD DUST: No data available COPPER: Copper is an essential element and is found in most human diets in minute amounts Prolonged ingestion through the diet is not known to cause toxic effects except in people with a recessive gene disorder termed Wilson's disease which causes an abnormally high absorption, retention, and storage of copper by the body This disease may cause a dysfunction of and structural damage to the liver, central nervous system, kidney, bones and eyes The disease is usually progressive and may be fatal if left untreated Reproductive effects have been reported in animals.
