**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Harmful by inhalation and if swallowed. Danger of cumulative
effects. May cause harm to the unborn child. Possible risk of
impaired fertility.Moisture sensitive.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation. May cause visual disturbances.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation.
Ingestion:
May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea. Inorganic fluorides can be harmful. Acute exposure to
fluorine compounds can lead to digestive tract burns, and abdominal
pain. Exposure to fluoride compounds can result in systemic toxic
effects on the heart, liver, and kidneys. It may also deplete
calcium levels in the body leading to hypocalcemia and death.
Fluoride can reduce calcium levels leading to fatal hypocalcemia.
Ingestion of lead compounds can cause toxic effects in the
blood-forming organs, kidneys and central nervous system. Symptoms of
lead poisoning or plumbism include weakness, weight loss, lassitude,
insomnia, and hypotension. It also includes constipation, anorexia,
abdominal discomfort and colic. Symptoms of lead poisoning include;
weakness, weight loss, lassitude, insomnia, and hypotension. Acute
lead poisoning can cause muscle weakness, "lead line" on the gums,
metallic taste, definite loss of appetite, insomnia, dizziness, high
lead levels in blood and urine with shock, coma and death in extreme
cases.
Inhalation:
May cause respiratory tract irritation. May cause effects similar to
those described for ingestion.
Chronic:
Chronic inhalation and ingestion may cause chronic fluoride
poisoning (fluorosis) characterized by weight loss, weakness,
anemia, brittle bones, and stiff joints. Effects may be delayed.
Chronic exposure to lead may result in plumbism which is
characterized by lead line in gum, headache, muscle weakness, mental
changes. Chronic exposure to fluoride compounds may cause systemic
toxicity. Chronic expsoure to lead may cause adverse effects on
human reproduction, embryonic and fetal development and postnatal
(e.g., mental) development.
**** 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 water for at least 15
minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing
before reuse.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4
cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Get medical aid.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If breathing
is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation. If breathing has ceased apply artificial respiration
using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device such as a bag and a
mask.
Notes to Physician:
Use of chelators such as BAL penicillamine and N-acetylpenicillamine
should be considered.
Antidote:
There exists several chelation agents. The determination of there
use should be made only by qualified medical personnel.
**** SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES ****
General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases
may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Use water
spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Contact with metals may
evolve flammable hydrogen gas. Containers may explode when heated.
Non-combustible, substance itself does not burn but may decompose
upon heating to produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic fumes.
Extinguishing Media:
Do NOT get water inside containers. For small fires, use dry
chemical, carbon dioxide, or water spray. For large fires, use dry
chemical, carbon dioxide, alcohol-resistant foam, or water spray.
Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after
fire is out.
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal
container. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to
waterways. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the
Protective Equipment section. Avoid generating dusty conditions.
Provide ventilation.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Wash hands before eating. Use only
in a well-ventilated area. Minimize dust generation and accumulation.
Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep container tightly
closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Wash clothing before reuse.
Storage:
Keep from contact with oxidizing materials. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Keep
containers tightly closed.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Use process enclosure, local exhaust ventilation, or other
engineering controls to control airborne levels below recommended
exposure limits. Facilities storing or utilizing this material should
be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower.
