Stainless Steel toxicity study
publication date: Nov 30, 2010
This study from the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health (FIOH) reviews available in vitro and in vivo data, including the metal release data, conducted on stainless steel in order to assess the toxicological relevance of this data to human health, to draw conclusions about the toxicity of stainless steel, and to give recommendations for the classification and labelling of stainless steel according to GHS. Special interest is taken in toxic endpoints like sensitization, respiratory tract toxicity, mutagenicity and carcinogenicity. The hypothesis of the study has been that the toxicity of stainless steels cannot to be predicted on the basis of the bulk content of individual elements in stainless steel, but, rather, on the basis of the metal release from the stainless steel matrix http://www.worldstainless.org/News/Review+on+toxicity+of+stainless+steel.htm steel matrix. |
