EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: white solid.
Danger! Causes eye and skin burns. Causes
digestive and respiratory tract burns. Harmful if swallowed or
absorbed through the skin. Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the
air). The toxicological properties of this material have not been
fully investigated.
Target Organs: Eyes, skin, mucous membranes.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye burns.
Skin:
Harmful if absorbed through the skin. Causes skin burns.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. Causes gastrointestinal tract burns. The
toxicological properties of this substance have not been fully
investigated.
Inhalation:
May cause irritation of the respiratory tract with burning pain in
the nose and throat, coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath and
pulmonary edema. Causes chemical burns to the respiratory tract. The
toxicological properties of this substance have not been fully
investigated. Inhalation may be fatal as a result of spasm,
inflammation, edema of the larynx and bronchi, chemical pneumonitis
and pulmonary edema.
Chronic:
Chronic exposure may cause effects similar to those of acute
exposure.

Section 4 - First Aid Measures
|
Eyes:
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for a
t least 15 minutes. Get medical aid immediately.
Skin:
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for
at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Get medical aid immediately. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Get medical aid immediately.
If victim is fully conscious, give a cupful of water. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
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 breathing has ceased apply
artificial respiration using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device
such as a bag and a mask.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
