EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: white crystalline powder.
Danger! Causes severe eye and skin burns. Causes
severe digestive and respiratory tract burns. Water-reactive.
Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the air).
Target Organs: Respiratory system,
gastrointestinal system, eyes, skin.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye burns. May cause irreversible eye injury.
Skin:
Contact with liquid is corrosive and causes severe burns and
ulceration. Causes severe burns.
Ingestion:
Causes gastrointestinal tract burns. Causes severe pain, nausea,
vomiting, diarrhea, and shock.
Inhalation:
May cause severe irritation of the respiratory tract with sore
throat, coughing, shortness of breath and delayed lung edema. Causes
chemical burns to the respiratory tract. May cause pulmonary edema
and severe respiratory disturbances.
Chronic:
Early symptoms of chronic phosphorous intoxication include
gastrointestinal distress and possibly a garlic-like odor to the
breath. Chronic exposure can lead to necrosis of the jaw, or
'phossy-jaw'.
|
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 imme
diately.
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. Get medical aid immediately. Call a poison
control center.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do not use
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation if victim ingested or inhaled the
substance; induce artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket
mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory
medical device.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
