**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Harmful in contact with skin and if swallowed.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause conjunctivitis. May cause eye irritation and possible
burns.
Skin:
Contact with skin causes irritation and possible burns, especially
if the skin is wet or moist.
Ingestion:
May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea. May cause corrosion and permanent tissue destruction of
the esophagus and digestive tract.
May cause kidney and liver damage, severe shock, convulsions,
collapse, and possible death.
Inhalation:
May cause irritation of the respiratory tract with burning pain in
the nose and throat, coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath and
pulmonary edema. May cause effects similar to those described for
ingestion.

Chronic inhalation and ingestion may cause effects similar to those
of acute inhalation and ingestion.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
