• Beschreibung

  Cycasin is a crystalline solid. Molecularweight=252.08; Freezing/Melting point=(decomposes)154℃. Hazard Identification (based on NFPA-704 MRating System): Health 2, Flammability 2, Reactivity 0.

• Chemische Eigenschaften

  Cycasin is a crystalline solid with long nee- dles.

• Sicherheitsprofil

  Confirmed carcinogen with experimental carcinogenic and tumorigenic data. A poison by ingestion. An experimental teratogen. Mutation data reported. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx.

• mögliche Exposition

  Cycasin occurs naturally, in the seeds, roots, and leaves of cycad plants which are found in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Nuts from the cycads are used to make chips, flour, and starch. Cycasin is not produced or used commercially. The major potential Exposure is the ingestion of the foods containing cycasin. It is estimated that about 50 55% of the inhabitants of Guam are potentially exposed (50,000 60,000 persons) to cycasin. Wastewater from the preparation of the cycad nuts contain large amounts of cycasin and represents a potential secondary exposure source.
