Bone oil is used as an animal repellent. Little information has been published regarding its environmental fate or ecotoxicology. It is moderately toxic to mammals via the oral route and may be a skin irritant.
Data alerts
The following alerts are based on the data in the tables below. An absence of an alert does not imply the substance has no implications for human health, biodiversity or the environment but just that we do not have the data to form a judgement.
