Executive summary:

To examine the oral toxicity of slags, steelmaking, converter (BOS) and crushed stone from a quarry in the vicinity of Serra, Brasilia, tests were performed following OECD guideline 423 in Wistar rats. Fine-ground BOS and crushed stone were dosed by gavage, in their original form, at 2 g/kg bw (body weight). After dosing, the animals were observed for a post exposure period of 14 days. The LD50 was > 2000 mg/kg bw for each test material.

Slags, steelmaking, converter (BOS) and natural stone from a quarry in Serra, Brasilia, are not toxic via the oral route,and do not need to be classified as oral toxicants. No signal word and no hazard statement is required.
