EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: off-white solid.
Caution! Harmful if absorbed through the skin. May
cause eye, skin, and respiratory tract irritation. May be harmful if
swallowed. May cause central nervous system effects. Hygroscopic
(absorbs moisture from the air).
Target Organs: Central nervous system.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation.
Skin:
May cause skin irritation. Harmful if absorbed through the skin.
Ingestion:
May cause irritation of the digestive tract. May cause central
nervous system effects and/or neurological effects. Human fatalities
have been reported from acute poisoning.
Inhalation:
May cause respiratory tract irritation. Inhalation of large amounts
may cause respiratory stimulation, followed by respiratory
depression, convulsions and possible death due to respiratory
paralysis.
Chronic:
Repeated exposure may cause central and peripheral nervous system
damage and digestive tract disturbances.

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.
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.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
