**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Toxic by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed.Toxic.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:

burns. Exposure to particulates or solution may cause
conjunctivitis, ulceration, and corneal abnormalities.
Skin:
May cause severe irritation and possible burns. Toxic in contact
with skin.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. May cause severe digestive tract irritation
with abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Inhalation:
May cause irritation of the respiratory tract with burning pain in
the nose and throat, coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath and
pulmonary edema. Inhalation may be fatal as a result of spasm,
inflammation, edema of the larynx and bronchi, chemical pneumonitis
and pulmonary edema. Toxic if inhaled.
Chronic:
Chronic inhalation and ingestion may cause chronic fluoride
poisoning (fluorosis) characterized by weight loss, weakness,
anemia, brittle bones, and stiff joints. Chronic inhalation may
cause nasal septum ulceration and perforation.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at
