Section
3: Hazards Identification Potential Acute Health Effects:
Extremely
hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of eye contact (irritant), of
ingestion, of inhalation. Very hazardous in case of skin contact (corrosive,
permeator). The amount of tissue damage depends on length of contact. Eye
contact can result in corneal damage or blindness. Skin contact can produce
inflammation and blistering. Inhalation of dust will produce irritation to
gastro-intestinal or respiratory tract, characterized by burning, sneezing and
coughing. Severe over-exposure can produce lung damage, choking, unconsciousness
or death. Inflammation of the eye is characterized by redness, watering, and
itching.
Skin inflammation is characterized by itching, scaling, reddening, or,
occasionally, blistering.
Potential
Chronic Health Effects: Extremely
hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of eye contact (irritant), of
ingestion, of inhalation. Very hazardous in case of skin contact (corrosive,
permeator). CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS: Classified 2 (Reasonably anticipated.) by NTP.
MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Not available. TERATOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available.
DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Not
available.
The substance is toxic to mucous membranes. Repeated or prolonged exposure to
the substance can produce target organs damage. Repeated exposure of the eyes to
a low level of dust can produce eye irritation. Repeated skin exposure can
produce local skin destruction, or dermatitis. Repeated inhalation of dust can
produce varying degree of respiratory irritation or lung damage. Repeated or
prolonged inhalation of dust may lead to chronic respiratory irritation.
Section
4: First Aid Measures Eye Contact:
Check
for and remove any contact lenses. Immediately flush eyes with running water for
at least 15 minutes, keeping eyelids open. Cold water may be used. Do not use an
eye ointment. Seek medical attention.
Skin
Contact: If the chemical
got onto the clothed portion of the body, remove the contaminated clothes as
quickly as possible, protecting your own hands and body. Place the victim under
a deluge shower. If the chemical got on the victim's exposed skin, such as the
hands : Gently and thoroughly wash the contaminated skin with running water and
non-abrasive soap. Be particularly careful to clean folds, crevices, creases and
groin. Cold water may be used. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.
Wash
contaminated
clothing before reusing.
Serious
Skin Contact: Wash with a
disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream.
Seek medical attention.
Inhalation:
Allow the victim to rest
in a well ventilated area. Seek immediate medical attention.
Serious
Inhalation: Evacuate the
victim to a safe area as soon as possible. Loosen tight clothing such as a
collar, tie, belt or waistband. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If
the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. WARNING: It
may be hazardous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation when the inhaled material is toxic, infectious or corrosive. Seek
immediate medical attention.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting.
Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If the victim is
not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Seek immediate medical
attention.
Serious
Ingestion: Not available.

generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne
contaminants below the exposure limit.
Personal
Protection: Splash
goggles. Lab coat. Vapor and dust respirator. Be sure to use an
approved/certified respirator or equivalent. Gloves.
