Section 3: Hazards Identification Potential Acute Health Effects:
Extremely hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of eye
contact (irritant). Very hazardous in case of ingestion, of inhalation.
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:
CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available. MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Not
available. TERATOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available. DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Not
available. 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.
Section 4: First Aid Measures
Eye Contact: Check for and remove any contact lenses.
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. 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.
