Cycasin Chemische Eigenschaften,Einsatz,Produktion Methoden
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.
m?gliche 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.

Waste disposal
Disposal of unused product
must be undertaken by qualified personnel who are knowl-
edgeable in all applicable regulations and follow all perti-
nent safety precautions including the use of appropriate
protective equipment. For proper handling and disposal,
always comply with federal, state, and local regulations. At
the time of review, criteria for land treatment or burial
(sanitary landfill) disposal practices are subject to signifi-
cant revision. Prior to implementing land disposal of waste
residue (including waste sludge), consult with environmen-
tal regulatory agencies for guidance on acceptable disposal
practices
