14. What are the health and safety aspects of zeolites?

Not all zeolites have been studied, but extensive studies have been done on zeolite A due to its use in consumer products. These studies have demonstrated that type A zeolite is essentially non-toxic via oral, dermal, ocular, and respiratory routes of exposure; type A zeolite was also found to be safe for the environment. Please consult the MSDS for product(s) of interest.
