SECTION VI: HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION
Safe-Vue鈩? white smoke can be used without hazard if applied as directed. The main effects of the smoke are some minimal
irritation of the throat, an awareness of an odd odor, and the appearance of smoke. These effects act as a warning and are
desirable to prevent voluntary overexposure. Individuals should be urged not to accept exposures that cause minor irritation,
but to leave the area and ventilate well to dissipate the smoke. Persons with respiratory ailments must never be exposed to any
smoke. Warning: the #10-200 and #10-210 Smoke Grenades generate huge volumes of white smoke that would quickly
accumulate to concentrations hazardous in confined spaces. Never use these items in an interior or enclosed space.
Ingestion: Not a significant route of exposure. Inhalation: Acute exposure can cause irritation of the respira-

inflammation and then inflammation, not irritation, is the toxic
effect.
Effects of Overexposure: Irritation of the respiratory passages; cough; nausea. Gross overexposure to dense smoke
concentrations could result in throat irritation and mucous membrane congestion requiring medical treatment. Coughs,
chills, fever and pulmonary edema can result from overwhelming exposure. Increasingly severe overexposure is likely to
result in increasingly severe irritation and inflammation to all mucous membranes contacted by the smoke with most
severe effects usually appearing in the respiratory tract.
FIRST AID: Remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, get medical attention.
SECTION VII: SPILL, LEAK AND DISPOSAL PROCEDURES
(Smoke): Ventilate area. Use local exhaust to keep exposure to a minimum. The duration of smoke would be short and
the length of exposure could be reduced further by opening doors and windows for a few minutes, if and when smoke
appears.
(Solid Product): Dispose in chemical disposal area in a manner that complies with local, state and federal regulations.
