Toxicity criteria | Evaluation criteria | Results of toxicity testing
Experiment № 1 Weight 290g |
Results of toxicity testing
Experiment № 2 Weight 160 g |
Index of toxicity nbsp; | Less than 20 is an acceptable level of toxicity From 20 to 50 - typical toxicity Greater than or equal to 50 is too toxic | 3.45 | 1.72 |
Experiment № 1 - Weight of the compound is 290g (concentration 7.7 which is the standard concentration, adjusted with the multiplying factor of 2.25)
Experiment № 2 - Weight of the compound is 160g (concentration 7.7 which is the standard concentration.
Testing of the air environment at thermal decomposition of Novec 1230 with the weights of 290g. and 160g. showed the acceptable level of toxicity of 3.45 at the standard rate "up to 20" in accordance with MR 01.020-07 "Measuring of the toxicity of the air environment with the use of the biotest "Ecolum".
A positive conclusion of FGUP VNIIZHG of the Russian Agency for Health and Consumer Rights about the safe use of Novec 1230 Fire Protection Fluid was received. It was recommended: in false activation when the presence of humans is unrestricted; in the conditions of suppression of an outbreak of fire the presence of humans can be up to 10 minutes, depending on the type of fire load.
