Section
3: Hazards Identification Potential Acute Health Effects:
Extremely
hazardous in case of skin contact (corrosive, irritant), of eye contact
(irritant), of ingestion, of inhalation. 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. Inflammation of the eye is characterized by redness,
watering, and itching. Skin inflammation is characterized by itching, scaling,
reddening, or, occasionally, blistering.
Potential
Chronic Health Effects:
Extremely
hazardous in case of skin contact (corrosive, irritant), of eye contact
(irritant), of ingestion, of inhalation. CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available.
MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Not available. TERATOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available.
DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Not available. The substance is toxic to lungs, mucous
membranes. Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target
organs damage. 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. Repeated
exposure to an highly toxic material may produce general deterioration of health
by an accumulation in one or many human organs. Repeated or prolonged inhalation
of dust may lead to chronic respiratory irritation.
Section
4: First Aid Measures
Eye
Contact: Check for and
remove any contact lenses. Do not use an eye ointment. Seek medical attention.
Skin
Contact: If the chemical
got onto the clothed portion of the body, remove the contaminated clothes as
quickly as possible, protecting your
own hands and body. Place the victim under a deluge shower. If the chemical got
on the victim's exposed skin, such as the hands : Gently and thoroughly wash the
contaminated skin with running water and non-abrasive soap. Be particularly
careful to clean folds, crevices, creases and groin. If irritation persists,
seek medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing
before
reusing.
Serious
Skin Contact: Wash with a
disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream.
Seek immediate medical attention.
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. WARNING: It
may be hazardous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation when the inhaled material is toxic, infectious or corrosive. Seek
immediate 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.

process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to
keep airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If user operations
generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne
contaminants below the exposure limit.
Personal
Protection:
Splash
goggles. Synthetic apron. Vapor and dust respirator. Be sure to use an
approved/certified respirator or equivalent. Gloves.
Personal
Protection in Case of a Large Spill:
Splash
goggles. Full suit. Vapor and dust respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self contained
breathing apparatus should be used to avoid inhalation of the product. Suggested
protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist BEFORE
handling this product.
