Section 3: Hazards Identification
   Irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. May be harmful if swallowed. Prolonged exposure to iodide salts
   Emergency Overview:
   may produce a mild toxic syndrome known as iodism. Limited evidence of a carcinogenic effect.
   Primary Routes of Exposure:       Contact with skin and eyes. Inhalation of dust.    
   Eye Contact:       Contact with eyes causes irritation, redness, and pain.    
   Skin Contact:       Causes irritation to skin. Symptoms include redness, itching, and pain, pimples, boils, hives and blisters.    
   Inhalation:       Causes irritation to the respiratory tract. Symptoms may include coughing and shortness of breath.    
   Ingestion:       Large oral doses may cause irritation to the gastrointestinal tract    
   Acute Health Affects:       Irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract.    
   Limited evidence of a carcinogenic effect. Chronic ingestion of iodides may produce iodism. Symptoms include
