Odor: Acid
Hazards of Product: Corrosive and an Oxidizer
Potential Health Effects
Inhalation: Effect from inhalation of mist will vary from mild irritation to serious damage of the upper respiratory
tract, depending on severity of exposure. Symptoms may include sneezing, sore throat or runny nose.
Ingestion: Swallowing may cause severe burns of mouth, throat, and stomach. Severe scarring of tissue may result.
