EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: light yellow solid.
Caution! May cause eye and skin irritation. May
cause respiratory and digestive tract irritation. May cause central
nervous system depression. May cause lung damage. May cause liver
and kidney damage. The toxicological properties of this material
have not been fully investigated. Possible sensitizer.
Target Organs: Kidneys, central nervous system,
liver, lungs, cardiovascular system.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation. May cause conjunctivitis, ulceration and
turbidity of the cornea.
Skin:
May cause skin irritation. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic
reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material.
Ingestion:
May cause irritation of the digestive tract. May cause liver and
kidney damage. The toxicological properties of this substance have
not been fully investigated.
Inhalation:
May cause respiratory tract irritation. The toxicological properties
of this substance have not been fully investigated. Exposure produces
central nervous system depression. In rare instances, exposure may
cause sensitization, resulting in inflammation of the mucous
membranes and in eczematous eruptions.
Chronic:
May cause liver and kidney damage. Effects may be delayed. May cause
lung damage. Repeated or prolonged exposure may cause allergic
reactions in sensitive individuals. Inhalation of product may
aggravate existing chronic repiratory problems such as asthma,
emphysema or bronchitis.

Section 4 - First Aid Measures
|
Eyes:
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally
lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid. Do NOT allow vi
ctim to rub eyes or keep eyes closed.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing
before reuse.
Ingestion:
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical
aid. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse mouth and
drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Get medical aid. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation.
Notes to Physician:
For ingestion, the stomach sould be intubated, aspirated, and
lavaged with a slurry of activated charcoal--protect the airway from
aspiration of gastric contents.
