Section
3: Hazards Identification
Potential
Acute Health Effects:
Very
hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of eye contact (irritant), of
ingestion, of inhalation. Hazardous in case of skin contact (corrosive).
Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (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. 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.
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

Personal
Protection:Splash goggles. Synthetic apron.
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.
