Section 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Harmful if swallowed. Irritating to eyes.Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the air).
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation. May result in corneal injury. Causes redness and pain.
Skin:
May cause skin irritation. Causes redness and pain.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May cause liver and kidney damage.
Inhalation:
Dust is irritating to the respiratory tract. May cause severe irritation of the upper respiratory tract with pain, burns, and inflammation. May be harmful if inhaled.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis. May cause liver and kidney damage.
Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid immediately.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
