Inhalation:
Causes irritation to the respiratory tract. Symptoms may include coughing, shortness of breath.
Ingestion:
Low toxicity in small quantities but larger dosages may cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and black stool. Pink urine discoloration is a
strong indicator of iron poisoning. Liver damage, coma, and death from iron poisoning has been recorded.
Skin Contact:
Causes irritation to skin. Symptoms include redness, itching, and pain. May cause skin discoloration with irritation.
Eye Contact:
Causes irritation, redness, and pain.
Chronic Exposure:
Prolonged exposure of the eyes may cause discoloration. Repeated high exposure could cause too much iron to build up in the body.
Symptoms of upset stomach, nausea, constipation and black bowel movements may occur. Chronic exposure may cause liver effects.
Aggravation of Pre鈭抏xisting Conditions:
Persons with pre鈭抏xisting skin disorders or eye problems, or impaired liver, kidney or respiratory function may be more susceptible to the
effects of the substance.
4. First Aid Measures
Inhalation:
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.
Ingestion:
Induce vomiting immediately as directed by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical
attention.
Skin Contact:
Immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical
attention. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse.
Eye Contact:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention
immediately.

5. Fire Fighting Measures
Fire:
Not considered to be a fire hazard.
Explosion:
Not considered to be an explosion hazard.
Fire Extinguishing Media:
Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide, or water spray.
Special Information:
In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH鈭抋pproved self鈭抍ontained breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in
the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Spills: Sweep up and containerize
for reclamation or disposal. Vacuuming or wet sweeping may be used to avoid dust dispersal. For ferric chloride anhydrous: US
Regulations (CERCLA) require reporting spills and releases to soil, water and air in excess of reportable quantities. The toll free number
for the US Coast Guard National Response Center is (800) 424鈭?8802.
7. Handling and Storage
Keep in a tightly closed light鈭抮esistant container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical damage. Containers of this
material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the
product.
8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Airborne Exposure Limits:
鈭扐CGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV):
1 mg/m3 (TWA) soluble iron salt as Fe
Ventilation System:
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local exhaust
ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the
general work area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent edition,
for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):
If the exposure limit is exceeded and engineering controls are not feasible, a half facepiece particulate respirator (NIOSH type N95 or better
filters) may be worn for up to ten times the exposure limit or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory
agency or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest.. A full鈭抐ace piece particulate respirator (NIOSH type N100 filters) may be worn up to
50 times the exposure limit, or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency, or respirator supplier,
whichever is lowest. If oil particles (e.g. lubricants, cutting fluids, glycerine, etc.) are present, use a NIOSH type R or P filter. For
emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full鈭抐acepiece positive鈭抪ressure, air鈭抯upplied respirator.
WARNING: Air鈭抪urifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen鈭抎eficient atmospheres.
Skin Protection:
Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
Eye Protection:
Maintain eye wash fountain and quick鈭抎rench facilities in work area. Use chemical safety goggles and/or full face shield where dusting or
splashing of solutions is possible.
