**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Very toxic by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed.
Danger of cumulative effects.Moisture sensitive.Light sensitive.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Contact with eyes may cause severe irritation, and possible eye
burns. Causes redness and pain.
Skin:
May cause severe skin irritation. Harmful if absorbed through the
skin. Causes redness and pain.
Ingestion:
May be fatal if swallowed. May cause kidney damage. May cause liver
damage. May cause perforation of the digestive tract. May cause
vascular collapse and damage. Causes severe pain, nausea, vomiting,
diarrhea, and shock. May cause central nervous system effects.
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:
May cause liver and kidney damage. May cause reproductive and fetal
effects. Repeated exposure may cause central nervous system damage.
May cause tremors, irritability, loss of memory and intellect. May
also cause Pink disease characterized by skin, cardiovascular, and
neurobehavioral abnormalities.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
