SECTION 11:TXICQLOGICAL INFORMATION
11.1 Acute Toxicity
Irritating to skin and body tissues. There is no established acute toxicity for Sodium
Permanganate. It is logical to assume acute toxicity will be very similar if not identical to that of
potassium permanganate which is listed below. -
Ingestion •LD 50 oral rat: 780 mg/kg male (14 days); 525 mg/kg female (14 days).
•Harmful if swallowed. ALD: l Og. Ingestion may cause nausea,vomiting,
sore throat, stomach-ache and eventually lead to a perforation of the
intestine. Liver and kidney injuries may occur.
Skin Contact -LD 50 dermal: no data available Major effects of exposure: severe
irritation,brown staining of skin.
