IRRITATION DATA
Skin
Remarks: No irritation effect
ALDRICH - D76609 www.sigma-aldrich.com Page 3
Eyes
Remarks: No irritation effect
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE
Absorption into the body leads to the formation of methemoglobin
which in sufficient concentration causes cyanosis. Onset may be
delayed 2 to 4 hours or longer. To the best of our knowledge,
the chemical, physical, and toxicological properties have not
been thoroughly investigated.
ROUTE OF EXPOSURE
Skin Contact: May cause skin irritation.
Skin Absorption: May be harmful if absorbed through the skin.
Eye Contact: May cause eye irritation.
Inhalation: May be harmful if inhaled. Material may be
irritating to mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract.
Ingestion: May be harmful if swallowed.
TARGET ORGAN INFORMATION
Blood.
