EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: white solid.
Warning! May cause severe eye and skin irritation
with possible burns. Causes severe digestive tract irritation with
pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May corrode the digestive tract
with hemorrhaging and possible shock.
Target Organs: Eyes, skin, mucous membranes.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Contact with eyes may cause severe irritation, and possible eye
burns.
Skin:
May cause severe irritation and possible burns.
Ingestion:
Exposure to fluoride compounds can result in systemic toxic effects
on the heart, liver, and kidneys. It may also deplete calcium
levels in the body leading to hypocalcemia and death. The oral human
LDLo for the fluoride ion (CAS= 16984-48-8) is 50 mg/kg. Acute
fluoride intoxication produces nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain,
diarrhea and tetany, often resulting in death from cardiovascular
collapse.
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.
Chronic:
Chronic inhalation and ingestion may cause chronic fluoride
poisoning (fluorosis) characterized by weight loss, weakness,
anemia, brittle bones, and stiff joints.
|
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 immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes.
Ingestion:
Get medical aid immediately. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious
and alert, rinse mouth and drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.

LD50/LC50:
Not available.
Carcinogenicity:
CAS# 7783-49-5:
Not listed by ACGIH, IARC, NIOSH, NTP, or OSHA.
Epidemiology:
Well-defined incidents of fluorosis are associated with int
ake levels of 20 mg/d in adults. In children, 4 mg flu
oride/d can produce mottling of the teeth.
Teratogenicity:
No information found.
Reproductive Effects:
Along with toxic effects in a variety of other organ systems, animal
experiments suggest that fluorosis is likely to include pathologic
effects in the testes.
Neurotoxicity:
No information found.
Mutagenicity:
