3.   HAZARDS INDENTIFICATION

                                              EMERGENCY OVERVIEW

     None for salt - GRAS Substance (Generally Recognized As Safe)



     HMIS Health: 1, Flammability: 0, Reactivity: 0, Protective Equipment: A



     Potential Health Effects

     Route(s) Of Entry: Ingestion, skin/eye contact, inhalation.



     Human Effects and Symptoms of Overexposure:



     Acute Inhalation: Irritation of the respiratory tract.



     Chronic Inhalation: No applicable information found for chronic systemic effects



     Acute Skin Contact: Large amounts can cause irritation and if applied to damaged skin, absorption can occur with

     effects similar to those via ingestion.



     Chronic Skin Contact: No applicable information found for chronic systemic effects.



     Acute Eye Contact: Irritation with burning and tearing (salt concentrations greater than the normal saline present).

     Chronic Eye Contact: No applicable information found for chronic systemic effects.



     Acute Ingestion: Intake of large amounts has generally occurred for deliberate reasons: suicide, absorption, and to

     induce vomiting. The following effects were observed; nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, cramps, restlessness,

     irritability, dehydration, water retention, nose bleed, gastrointestinal tract damage, fever, sweating, sunken eyes, high

     blood pressure, muscle weakness, dry mouth and nose, shock, cerebral (fluid on brain) or pulmonary edema (fluid in

     lungs), blood cell shrinkage, and brain damage (due to dehydration of brain cells). Death is generally due to

     cardiovascular collapse or CNS damage. Less than a few grams would not be harmful. For larger quantities, drink

     large amounts of water or milk.



     Chronic Ingestion: No applicable information found for chronic systemic effects.



     Carcinogenicity

      NTP: Not listed as a carcinogen or mutagen.

      IARC: Not listed as a carcinogen or mutagen.

      OSHA: Not listed as a carcinogen or mutagen.



     Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: In some cases of confirmed hypertension, ingestion may result in

     elevated blood pressure.



4.   FIRST AID MEASURES

     First Aid For Eyes: For eye contact, flush with water immediately, lifting eyelids occasionally.



     First Aid For Skin: Remove clothing from affected area. Wash skin thoroughly. Rinse carefully.



     First Aid For Inhalation: If person breathes large quantities, remove to fresh air at once. If breathing stops, apply

     artificial respiration immediately.



     First Aid For Ingestion: Less than a few grams would not be harmful. For larger quantities, drink large amounts of

     water or milk.
