Effects of Exposure: ACUTE: INHALATION-INHALATION OF HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF
MERCURY VAPOR CAN CAUSE NECROTISING BRONCHIOLITIS, PNEUMONITIS, PULMONARY
EDEMA & PNEUMOTHORAX INTOXICATION. SKIN-SENSITIZATION DERMATITIS MAY OC
CUR IN PREVIOUSLY EXPOSED WORKERS. MAY BE ABSORBED THROUGH SKIN CAUSING
ANURIA. INGESTION-METALLIC MERCURY GENERALLY SHOWS NO EFFECT. EYE-CONTACT MAY
CAUSE IRRITATION. CHRONIC: INHALATION-INHALATION O F MERCURY VAPOR OVER A
LONG PERIOD CAUSES MERCURIALISM. SKIN-MAY RESULT IN PSYCHIC DISTURBANCES,
PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY & KIDNEY DAMAGE. EYE-MERCURY MAY BE DEPOSITED IN
