TOXICOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT OF BIO PREPARATION OILDESTRUCTOR «LENOIL»® – NORD, SHP

Abstract

Based on experimental results, toxicological assessment of the biological product oil-destructor «Lenoil»® – NORD, SHP is reported.. The biological product is intended for cleaning of oil-polluted soils and water objects at low positive temperatures. It was found out that the median lethal dose (LD50) at intragastric intake amounts to more than 5000 mg/kg, therefore the biological product refers to hazard class 4 (low hazardous substances). The biological product does not cause signs of irritation of respiratory tracts, but is able to induce slight irritation of eye mucous membranes and skin ( repeated applications).The biological product has no sensitizing action when reproducing a delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction. The biological product oil-destructor “Lenoil»® – NORD, SHP can be used for its intended purpose, i.e. to accelerate the destruction of oil and petroleum products during the remediation of oil-contaminated sites. At work the personnel must be provided with special clothing and personal protective equipment and observe hygiene and sanitary norms.
