4 - First Aid Measures
AFTER INHALATION
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing give
artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
AFTER SKIN CONTACT
In case of skin contact, flush with copious amounts of water for
at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes.
Call a physician.
AFTER EYE CONTACT
In case of contact with eyes, flush with copious amounts of
water for at least 15 minutes. Assure adequate flushing by
separating the eyelids with fingers. Call a physician.
AFTER INGESTION
If swallowed, wash out mouth with water provided person is
conscious. Call a physician immediately. Do not induce vomiting.

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE
Inorganic tin salts are poorly absorbed into the body. When
RIEDEL - 14550 www.sigma-aldrich.com Page 3
parenterally administered tin salts are highly toxic. Tin oxide
inhaled as a dust or fume leads to a benign pneumoconiosis with
no sign of interference with pulmonary function. Deposited dust
appears nodular with the particles being mostly extracelluar. No
necrosis, foreign-body giant-cell reaction, or collagen
formation has been seen. Tin salts that have gained access to
the blood stream are highly toxic and produce neurologic damage
and paralysis. With most common tin salts, the toxicity profile
is complicated by hydrolysis in body fluids producing
unphysiologic pH values. The reported symptoms of hyperemia,
vascular changes with bleeding in the central nervous system,
liver, heart, and other organs may be due to tin itself or to
the unphysiological pH changes. Ingestion produces vomiting due
to the gastric irritation from the activity and astringency of
tin compounds. Injection of inorganic tin salts produces
diarrhea, muscle paralysis, and twitching. Material is extremely
destructive to tissue of the mucous membranes and upper
respiratory tract, eyes, and skin. Inhalation may result in
spasm, inflammation and edema of the larynxand bronchi, chemical
pneumonitis, and pulmonary edema. Symptoms of exposure may
include burning sensation, coughing, wheezing, laryngitis,
shortness of breath, headache, nausea, and vomiting. To the best
of our knowledge, the chemical, physical, and toxicological
properties have not been
