Information

Not available.
Carcinogenicity:
IARC: IARC Group 3 –
not classifiable.
Epidemiology: Intraperitoneal,
rat:
Teratogenicity: Inhalation,
rat; TCLo = mg/m3/24H (female 1-20 day(s) after
conception) Effects on Embryo or Fetus – fetotoxicity
(except death, e.g., stunted fetus).
Reproductive Effects: Inhalation,
rat: TCLo = 890 ng/m3/24H (male 16 week(s)
pre-mating) Paternal Effects – spermatogenesis (incl. genetic material, sperm
morphology, motility, and count).; inhalation, rat: TCLo = 7440 ng/m3/24H (male 16 week(s) pre-mating)
Fertility – post-implantation mortality (e.g. dead and/or resorted implants per
total number of implants).
Neurotoxicity: The
brain is the critical organ in humans for chronic vapor exposure; in severe
cases, spontaneous degeneration of the brain cortex can occur as a late sequel
to past exposure.
Mutagenicity: Cytogenetic
Analysis: Unreported, man = 150 ug/m3.

Information
Ecotoxicity: Fish:
Rainbow trout: LC50 = 0.16-0.90 mg/L; 96 Hr: Unspecified Fish:
Bluegill/Sunfish; LC50=0.15-0.90mg/L; 96 hr: Unspecified Fish: Channel catfish;
LC50=0.35 mg/L; 96hr;Unspecified Water flee Daphnia: EC50 = 0.01 mg/L:48
Hr; Unspecified in aquatic systems, mercury appears to blind to dissolved
matter or fine particulates, while the transport of mercury bound to dust
particles in the atmosphere or bed sediment particles in rivers and lakes is
generally less substantial. The conversion, in aquatic environments, of
inorganic mercury cmpd to methyl mercury implies that
recycling of mercury from sediment to water to air and back could be a rapid
process.
Environmental: Mercury bioaccumulates and
concentrates in food chain (concentration may be as much as 10,000 times that
of water). Bioconcentration factors of 63,000
for freshwater fish and 10,000 for salt water fish have been found. Much
of the mercury deposited on land, appears to revaporize
within a day or two, at least in areas substantially heated by sunlight.
Physical: All forms of mercury (Hg) (metal, vapor, inorganic, or
organic) are converted to methyl mercury.
Other: No information available.
Section 13- Disposal Considerations
Chemical waste generators must
determine whether a discarded chemicla is classified
as a hazardous waste. US EPA guidelines for the clssification
detemination are listed in 40 CPR Parts 261.3. Additionally,
waste generators must consult state and local hazardous
waste regulations to ensure complete and accurate
classification.
RCRA P-Series: None listed.
