Hazards Identification
Potential
Acute Health Effects:
Hazardous in
case of skin contact (irritant), of ingestion. Slightly hazardous in case of
skin contact (corrosive), of eye contact (irritant),
of inhalation. Prolonged exposure may result in skin burns and ulcerations.
Over-exposure by inhalation may cause respiratory
irritation.
Potential
Chronic Health Effects:
Non-corrosive
for skin. Non-irritant for skin. Non-sensitizer for skin. Non-permeator by skin.
Non-irritating to the eyes. Nonhazardous in
case of ingestion. Non-hazardous in case of inhalation. CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS:
Classified A1 (Confirmed for human.) by ACGIH
[Silver Chromate ]. 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.
Section 4:
First Aid Measures
Eye Contact: Immediately
flush eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes, keeping eyelids open.
Cold water may be used.
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. Cold water may be used. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient.
If irritation persists, seek medical attention.
Serious Skin
Contact:
Wash with a
disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream.
Seek 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. Seek medical attention.
Ingestion:
Do not induce
vomiting. 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.
