TERMAKAN : Dosis 0.5 g/hari rupanya tidak menyebabkab efek keracunan terhadap manuasia.. Doses of about 5 g/day may cause gastro-intestinal irritation. People with gastro-intestinal or kidney diseases may be more severely affected (3). CARCINOGENICITY No information available. Not classed as a category I, II or III carcinogen by Worksafe Aust.TERATOGENICITY AND EMBRYOTOXICITY No human information available. Not teratogenic in one animal study (1).TOXICOLOGICAL SYNERGISTIC MATERIALS No information available.MUTAGENICITY No human information. Not mutagenic in bacterial tests (1).POTENTIAL FOR ACCUMULATION Benzoic acid is chemically altered and excreted from the body in the urine. 97% of an oral dose of benzoic acid can be eliminated within four hours (6).

FIRST AIDSWALLOWED:Never give anything by mouth if victim is rapidly losing consciousness, or is unconscious or convulsing. Have victim rinse mouth thoroughly with water. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Have victim drink 240 to 300 mL (8 to 10 oz.) of water. If vomiting occurs naturally, have victim lean forward to reduce risk of aspiration. Repeat administration of water. Obtain medical attention immediately.EYE: Immediately flush the contaminated eye(s) with lukewarm, gently flowing water for 20 minutes, by the clock, holding the eyelid(s) open. Take care not to rinse contaminated water into the non-affected eye. Obtain medical attention immediately.

SKIN: Remove contaminated clothing, shoes and leather goods (e.g. watchbands, belts). Gently blot or brush away excess chemical quickly. As quickly as possible, flush contaminated area with lukewarm, gently running water for at least 20 minutes, by the clock. If irritation persists, repeat flushing, Obtain medical advice immediately. Completely decontaminate clothing, shoes and leather goods before reuse, or discard.INHALED: Remove source of contamination or move victim to fresh air. Obtain medical advice immediately. FIRST AID FACILITIES:Provide general supportive measures (comfort, warmth, rest). All first aid procedures should be periodically reviewed by a physician familiar with the material and its conditions of use in the workplace.ADVICE TO DOCTOR: Consult Poisons Information Centre.TOXICITY DATA: ANIMAL TOXICITY DATA LD50 (rat, oral): 2530 mg/kg (8) LD50 (mouse, oral):

1940 mg/kg (8); 2263 mg/kg (1) LD50 (dog, cat, oral): 2000 mg/kg (8) LD50 (rabbit, skin): Greater than 5000 mg/kg (1) EYE IRRITATION (rabbit): 100 mgof benzoic acid caused a severe reaction in a standard eye test (8). SKIN IRRITATION (rabbit): 500 mg of benzoic acid on skin produced a mild reaction in a 24-hour test (8). LONG-TERM STUDIES: Some animal species are more sensitive to the toxic effects of benzoic acid than others. A diet containing 1% benzoic acid (equivalent to 500 mg/kg daily) produced no toxic effects in rats. In cats, a diet containing benzoic acid at 200 mg/kg/day had no detectable effect, but a level of 300 mg/kg/day caused central nervous system disturbances which were reversible (1). In cats, diets with more than 300 mg/kg/day produced severe CNS depression and death. High doses damaged the liver and kidney, and caused depression and apprehension (1).

REPRODUCTIVE EFFECTS: Even at high doses, benzoic acid failed to produce teratogenic effects in rats (1). MUTAGENICITY: No mutagenic activity was observed in a number of in vitro tests (1).

SECTION 3 PRECAUTIONS FOR USEEXPOSURE STANDARDS: (TLV-TWA) Not established SAMPLING & ANALYSIS A variety of analytical methods exist for the determination of benzoic acid in foods and

drugs (7). A method for determining benzoic acid in air is described in reference (11). EXPOSURE CONTROL Note: Exposure to this material can be controlled in many ways. The measures appropriate

for a particular worksite depend on how this material is used and on the extent of exposure. Use this general information to help develop specific control measures. Ensure that control systems are properly designed and maintained. Comply with occupational,

environmental, fire, and other applicable regulations. *
