Prussian Blue (1997)
Abstract
The acute oral toxicity of Prussian Blue in rats was low. No skin and eye irritation were evidently induced in rabbits with one form of the pigment. High oral doses (mainly as ferric ferrocyanide or its potassium salt) given repeatedly were generally without overt adverse effect in man. No evidence of mutagenicity was seen with ferric ferrocyanide in a limited Ames test in bacteria.
Toxicity Profiles are comprehensive, yet concise, monographs on the hazard potential of individual chemicals. They are written by scientists specially trained in the evaluation of toxicity data and are prepared principally from primary information sources.
