Section 3: Hazards Identification
Potential Acute Health Effects:
Very hazardous in case of ingestion. Hazardous in case of eye contact
(irritant). Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact
(irritant), of inhalation. Severe over-exposure can result in death.
Potential Chronic Health Effects:
Extremely hazardous in case of eye contact (irritant). Very hazardous in case
of ingestion. Slightly hazardous in case of
skin contact (irritant), of inhalation. CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available.
MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Not available.
TERATOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available. DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Not available. The
substance is toxic to kidneys,
lungs, liver, mucous membranes. Repeated or prolonged exposure to the
substance can produce target organs damage.
Repeated exposure to an highly toxic material may produce general
deterioration of health by an accumulation in one or many
human organs.
Section 4: First Aid Measures
p. 2
Eye Contact: Check for and remove any
contact lenses. Do not use an eye ointment. Seek medical attention.
Skin Contact:
After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water. Gently and
thoroughly wash the contaminated skin with running
water and non-abrasive soap. Be particularly careful to clean folds, crevices,
creases and groin. Cover the irritated skin with an
emollient. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.
Serious Skin Contact: Not available.
Inhalation: Allow the victim to rest in
a well ventilated area. Seek immediate medical attention.
Serious Inhalation:
Evacuate the victim to a safe area as soon as possible. Loosen tight clothing
such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If
breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If the victim is not breathing,
perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Seek medical
attention.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. Examine the lips and mouth to ascertain whether the
tissues are damaged, a possible indication that
the toxic material was ingested; the absence of such signs, however, is not
conclusive. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar,
tie, belt or waistband. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation. Seek immediate medical attention.
Serious Ingestion: Not available.
