General Population - Hazard for the eyes

Local effects

Hazard assessment conclusion:
medium hazard (no threshold derived)

Additional information - General Population

The public is unlikely to be exposed to sodium isopentyl xanthate through its use as a flotation agent in the mining industry. An 8–13.5% aqueous solution of sodium isopentyl xanthate is made up on site. Since the compound decomposes and the major product is carbon disulphide, there exists some potential for the contamination of the immediate atmosphere which may impact on public health. This risk is minimised by the use of adequate transport and engineering controls. Release of the hazardous degradation products may also result from the decomposition of residual amounts of sodium isopentyl xanthate which remain (about 1.5 ppm,range of 0,2 – 1.2mg/l) in the aqueous phase in the tailings slurry, which is discharged to a tailings dam. However, such dams are typically located on remote sites and the residual concentrations of sodium isopentyl xanthate are expected to be low.
