Toxic effects on livestock and pets
Administrative data
Description of key information
Expert Judgement
The distribution of talc taken up orally was examined in Syrian golden hamsters. After a single administration of talc the elimination of radioactivity was determined in the urine and faeces. Within 96 h of dosing, a total of 94.4% of the radioactivity was recovered in the feces and 0.2% was recovered in the urine, with a total of 94.6% of the dose being excreted over 96 h and therefore talc not bioaccumulation potential. Due to the absence of chemical groups or other structural alerts this substance is not considered to exhibit an high hazard potential. Therefore testing for Toxic effects on livestock and pets does not need to be performed.
Additional information
