HEALTH EFFECTS OR RISKS FROM EXPOSURE. EXPLAIN IN LAY TERMS.
ACUTE: Contact with eyes may cause blindness. Contact with skin may cause severe burns.
Inhalation may cause swelling of the upper respiratory tract and accumulation of fluid in
the lungs (pulmonary edema).
CHRONIC: Moderately irritating to eyes. Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dermatitis.
If ingested, may cause gastrointestinal tract damage. Chronic overexposure to tin
compounds has resulted in stannosis, a benign pneumoconiosis.
SECTION 4 FIRST AID MEASURES
FIRST AID: EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
EYE CONTACT: Flush with water, including under lids, for fifteen minutes. Obtain immediate medical
attention.
SKIN CONTACT: Remove contaminated clothing and wash affected area thoroughly with soap and
water. Launder clothing before rewearing. Seek medical attention for prolonged skin irritation.
INHALED: Remove patient to fresh air. Support breathing if required. Obtain medical treatment for
dizziness, unconsciousness or irritation or difficulty in breathing.
SWALLOWED: If patient is conscious, rinse mouth and drink at least two large glasses of water. DO NOT
induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Obtain immediate medical
attention.

SECTION 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:
Dike to prevent spread of spill. Dilute to twice the volume with water. Neutralize by means of slow and
careful applications of a solution of soda ash and water. Dispose of material, containers and washings in
compliance with all applicable regulations. Do not allow this material to enter storm or sanitary sewers.
