General
No exposure standard has been established for this product by the The Safe Work Australia (SWA). However, the
exposure standard for dust not otherwise specified is 10 mg/m3 (for inspirable dust) and 3 mg/m3 (for respirable
dust). Please also note the following:
OEL (TWA): 1 mg/m3 (ACGIH 1990-1991)
OEL (como STEL): 2 mg/m3 (ACGIH 1990-1991)
DNEL for Workers:
Local effects - acute: DNEL (derived not effect level) dermal: 0.69 mg/cm2
Systemic effects - long term: DNEL (derived not effect level) dermal: 2.29 mg/Kg bw/day
Systemic effects - long term: DNEL (derived not effect level) inhalation: 4.03 mg/m3
DNEL for General Population:
Local effects - acute: DNEL (derived not effect level) dermal: 0.35 mg/cm2
Systemic effects - long term: DNEL (derived not effect level) dermal: 1.14 mg/Kg bw/day
Systemic effects - long term: DNEL (derived not effect level) oral: 1.14 mg/m3
PNEC water (freshwater): 0.1622 mg/L
PNEC water (sea water): 0.01622
PNEC water (intermittent spills): 1622 mg/L
NOTE: The exposure value at the TWA is the average airborne concentration of a particular substance when
calculated over a normal 8 hour working day for a 5 day working week.
These exposure standards are guides to be used in the control of occupational health hazards. All atmospheric
contamination should be kept to as low a level as is workable. These exposure standards should not be used as fine
dividing lines between safe and dangerous concentrations of chemicals. They are not a measure of relative toxicity.
Exposure Limits
No Data Available
Biological Limits
No information available on biological limit values for this product.
Engineering Measures
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures as low as possible. Local
exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source,
preventing dispersion of it into the general work area.
Personal Protection Equipment
RESPIRATOR: Wear a suitable particle filter mask (P2 filter respirator for harmful particles) (AS1715/1716).
EYES: Do NOT wear contact lenses. Tightly fitting goggles with side shields, or wide vision full goggles
(AS1336/1337).
HANDS: Wear suitable gloves (nitrile, neoprene, natural rubber, polyvinyl) (AS2161).
CLOTHING: Long-sleeved standard work clothing, long pants, and safety footwear (resistant to corrosive chemicals
and which prevent penetration of dust) (AS3765/2210).
Special Hazards Precaustions
The substance does not represent a thermal hazard, thus special consideration is not required.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
General Information
Oxalic acid is classified as harmful by oral and dermal route and it entails a risk of serious damage to the eye.
Toxicity endpoints and outcome of the effects assessment:
Absorption: The primary health effect of oxalic acid is local irritation due to a pH shift. Therefore, absorption is not a
relevant parameter for the effects assessment.
Acute Toxicty: Oxalic acid Oral and Dermal Actutely toxic cat. 4
Oral LD50 Rat: >375 mg/Kg bw (according to the method of Smyth)
Dermal LD50 Rabbit: >20000 mg/Kg bw (Pesticide Action Network, North America)
Repeated Dose Toxicity:
Toxicity of Oxalic acid via the oral route is addressed by LOAEL of 150 mg/Kg bw/day.
Toxicity of Oxalic acid via the dermal route is not considered as relevant in the view of the anticipated insignificant
absorption through the skin.
Toxicity of Oxalic acid via inhalation is not considered as relevant.
Therefore, classification of Oxalic acid for toxicity upon prolonged exposure is not required.
Mutagenicity:
Bacterial reverse mutation assay (Ames test, OECD 471): Negative.
Mammalian chromosome aberration test: Negative.
Oxalic acid is void of any genotoxic potential.
Classification for genotoxicity is not warranted.
Carcinogenicity:
Oxalic acid is not considered as carcinogenic.
Human epidemiological data support lack of any carcinogenic potential of oxalic acid
Classification for carcinogenicity is not warranted.
Toxicity for Reproduction:
Oxalic acid is not toxic to reproduction (experimental result, mouse)
Human epidemiological data support lack of an potential for reproductive toxicity of oxalic acid.
Classification for reproductive toxicity according to regulation (EC) 1272/2008 is not required.
EyeIrritant
Oxalic acid entails a risk of serious damage to the eye (OECD 405, Rabbit). Based on experimental results, oxalic
acid requires classification as severely irritating to the eye [R41, Risk of serious damage to eye; Eye Damage 1 (H318
- Causes serious eye damage)].
Ingestion
Harmful if swallowed.
SkinIrritant
Harmful in contact with skin. Oxalic acid is not irritating to skin (OECD 404, Rabbit)
Carcinogen Category
No Data Available
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Ecotoxicity
Acute/Prolonged toxicity to fish:
LC50 (96hr) for freshwater fish: 160 mg/L (Deutsche Einheitsverfahren zur Wasser, Abwasser und SchlammUntersuchung)
Acute/Prolonged toxicity to aquatic invertibrates:
EC50 (48hr) for freshwater invertibrates: 162.2 mg/L (OECD 202, Daphnia)
Acute/Prolonged toxicity to aquatic plants:
Toxicity threshold (8 days) for freshwater algae: 80.0 mg/L
Chronic Toxicity to aquatic organisms:
The long term aquatic toxicity study on aquatic invertibrates shall be considered if the substance is poorly water
soluble and oxalic acid is soluble in water. Also oxalic acid presents a low toxicity for the short term test.
Toxicity to soil dwelling organisms:
The oxalic acid is not supposed to be directly applied to the soil and an indirect exposure to soil via sewage sludge
transfer is unlikely since the substance is readily biodegradable. As oxalic acid is considered as "readily
biodegradable", it can be assumed that it will be biodegraded within the STP process and as a consequence a
transfer to the soil compartment is not expected. Therefore, no tests on terrestrial organisms are provided.
Toxicity to terrestrial plants:
Form 21047, Revision 3, Page 6 of 10, 16-Jun-2017 02:10:54
Safety Data Sheet Oxalic Acid Dihydrate Revision 3, Date 01 Jun 2015
EC50 (72hr for terrestrial plants: 8 mM)
General effect:
Oxalic acid has a low logKow and is readily biodegradable. The substance cannot be classified as hazardous for the
environment.
Persistence/Degradability
Oxalic acid is readily biodegradable, meeting the 10 day window. The biodegradation in seawater occurs at the same
rate. Also the anaerobic biodegradation occurs rapidly.
Mobility
Transport through the medium is rate-limiting. Degradation after 30 days at 20 deg C is up to 73% (based on CO2
evolution). Oxalic acid is easily biodegradable in soil.
Environmental Fate
Do NOT let product reach waterways, drains and sewers.
Results of PBT and vPvB assessment: The hazard assessment of oxalic acid reveals neither a need to classify the
substance as dangerous to the environment, nor is it a PBT or vPvB substance, nor are there any further indications
that the substance may be hazardous to the environment.
Bioaccumulation Potential
Not relevant for oxalic acid because this substance is readily biodegradable and highly soluble in water, and logKow
is negative.
Environmental Impact
No Data Available
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
