Hazards SummaryMay cause irritation; [Alfa Aesar MSDS]
Hazard Classes and Categories
Skin Irrit. 2 (33.3%)
Skin Irrit. 2 (100%)
Toxicology
Health EffectsChronically high levels of galactitol are associated with at least 2 inborn errors of metabolism including: Galactosemia and Galactosemia type II.
Toxicity Summary
Accumulation of galactitol in the body has been shown to be toxic. Accumulation of galactitol in the lens causes the osmotic phenomena and results in cataract formation. It may form in excess in the lens of the eye in galactosemias, a deficiency of galactokinase.
Carcinogen ClassificationNo indication of carcinogenicity to humans (not listed by IARC).
