Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:PRODUCT IS CORROSIVE TO ALL BODY
TISSUES. IT IS TOXIC BY CORROSIVITY. THE EFFECT OF LOCAL DERMAL
EXPOSURE MAY CONSIST OF MULTIPLE AREAS OF SUPERFICIAL DESTRUCTION
OF SKIN OR OF PRIMARY IRRITANT DERMAT ITIS. INHALATION MAY RESULT
IN VARYING DEGREES OF IRRITATION OR DAMAGE TO THE RESPIRATORY TRACT
TISSUES.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:SODIUM HYDROXIDE IS NOT LISTED BY IARC,
NTP, OR OSHA AS A CARCINOGEN.
Effects of Overexposure:CORROSIVE TO ALL BODY TISSUES. THE SEVERITY OF
DAMAGE AND THE EXTENT OF IRREVERSIBILITY INCREASES WITH THE LENGTH
OF CONTACT TIME. PROLONGED CONTACT WITH EVEN DILUTE SOLUTIONS CAN
CAUSE A HIGH DEGREE OF TISSUE DESTRUCTION. THE LATENT
PERIODFOLLOWING SKIN CONTACT DURING WHICH NO IRRITATION IS EVIDENT
VARIES.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NONE KNOWN
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:EYE: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH RUNNING WATER FOR 15 MINUTES
WHILE HOLDING EYELID. OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. SKIN:
