Section
3: Hazards Identification
Potential
Acute Health Effects:Extremely
hazardous in case of ingestion. Very hazardous in case of skin contact
(corrosive, irritant), of eye contact (irritant), of inhalation. 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. Prolonged exposure may
result in skin burns and ulcerations. Over-exposure by inhalation may cause
respiratory irritation. 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 ingestion. Very hazardous in case of skin contact
(corrosive, irritant), of eye contact (irritant), of inhalation. CARCINOGENIC
EFFECTS: Not available. MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Not available. TERATOGENIC EFFECTS:
Not available. DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Not available. The substance is toxic to
lungs, 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

be stored in a separate safety storage cabinet or room.
Section
8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Engineering
Controls:Use process
enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep
airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If user operations 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.
Personal
Protection in Case of a Large Spill:Splash
goggles. Full suit. Vapor and dust respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self contained
breathing apparatus should be used to avoid inhalation of the product. Suggested
protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist BEFORE
handling this product.
