The present documentation is based on a review of toxicological data on boron oxide by the ACGIH 1991. 1 Effects in Man The effects of boron oxide and boric acid were investigated in a study of 113 workers by evaluating questionnaires. The workers were exposed to average boron oxide and boric acid concentrations of 4.1 mg/m3 (range 1.2–8.5 mg/m3). Compared to the unexposed control collective (214 workers), the exposed workers complained more frequently of eye irritation, irritation of the upper respiratory passages, coughing and dryness in the mouth (Garabrant et al. 1984). 2 Animal Experiments The LD50 values for mice are about 3000 mg/kg body weight after oral administration of boron oxide and about 1900 mg/kg body weight after intraperitoneal administration. Topical application of boron oxide to the shaved dorsal skin of rabbits (40 mg/cm2) produced erythema which persisted for 2 to 3 days. Eye irritation was observed in rabbits after instillation of 50 mg boron oxide into the left eye (Wilding et al. 1959). Inhalation studies were carried out with rats exposed for 10 weeks to boron oxide concentrations of 470 mg/m3, for 12 weeks to 175 mg/m3 and for 24 weeks to 77 mg/m3. Concentrations of 77 mg/m3 led to unclear effects on urinary parameters, such as an increase in the urine volume, increased creatinine excretion and reduced pH. In the urine of these animals, a boron concentration of 11.9 mg/kg and day (controls 0.24 mg/kg and day) was measured. Slight irritation of the nose was observed after exposure to boron oxide concentrations from 470 mg/m3. Histopathological examination of all organs did not reveal any signs of toxicity (Wilding et al. 1959). Examination of the blood of dogs exposed to boron oxide concentrations of 57 mg/m3 for 23 weeks, did not reveal any substance-related changes (Wilding et al. 1959). 3 Manifesto (MAK value/classification) Exposure to boron oxide and its hydration product, boric acid, led in man to irritation of the eyes and upper respiratory tract. A threshold value cannot, however, be established from the data available. As also no NOAEL (no observed adverse effect level) can be deduced from the animal experiments carried out to investigate systemic toxicity, the previous MAK value has been withdrawn and boron oxide included in Section IIb of the List of MAK and BAT Values.
