Section 3: Hazards Identification
Potential Acute Health Effects:
Hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of eye contact (irritant), of
ingestion, of inhalation. Corrosive to eyes and skin.
The amount of tissue damage depends on length of contact. Eye contact can
result in corneal damage or blindness. Skin
contact can produce inflammation and blistering. Inhalation of dust will
produce irritation to gastro-intestinal or respiratory
tract, characterized by burning, sneezing and coughing. Severe over-exposure
can produce lung damage, choking,
unconsciousness or death.
Potential Chronic Health Effects:
CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available. MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Not available.
TERATOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available.
DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Not available. Repeated exposure of the eyes to a low
level of dust can produce eye irritation.
Repeated skin exposure can produce local skin destruction, or dermatitis.
Repeated inhalation of dust can produce varying
degree of respiratory irritation or lung damage.

Section 4: First Aid Measures
Eye Contact:
Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush
eyes with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact:
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water. Cover the
irritated skin with an emollient. Remove contaminated
clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before
reuse. Get medical attention.
Serious Skin Contact:
Wash with a disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an
anti-bacterial cream. Seek medical attention.
Inhalation:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical
attention.
Serious Inhalation: Not available.
Ingestion:
Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never
give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. Get
medical attention if symptoms appear.
