products: displace oxygen (danger of suffocation)
11 Toxicological Information
LD50: oral, rate 5000 mg/kg
Due to the fact that solid calcium carbonate is a natural mineral of the surface of the earth and that dissolved
calcium carbonate is a natural and indispensable component of natural waters, chronic toxic effects as well as
sensitizing effects of the substance can practically be excluded.
12 Ecological Information
In its solid state, calcium carbonate is a natural mineral of the earth. In its dissolved state, the substance is a
natural and indispensable component of natural waters. Therefore, unfavourable effects to the environment
may be excluded. Calcium carbonate can not biodegrade.
Restrictions may be indicated that concentrated suspensions of calcium carbonate in natural waters may have
an unfavourable effect on water organisms (disturbance of the micro flora and –fauna in the sediment and
subsequent detriment to the existence of higher water organisms).
