===================== Hazards Identification =====================
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHAL: BREATHING DUST, MIST OR SPRAY
MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT AND LUNG TISSUE
PROPER WHICH COULD PRODUCE CHEMICAL PNEUMONIA, DEPENDING UPON
SEVERITY OF EXPOSURE. SKIN: CONTACT P RODUCES SEVERE BURNS AND
DESTROYS TISSUES. IRRITATION MAY BE DELAYED. EYE: CAUSE SEVERE
BURNS THAT RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE EYES AND POSSIBLY BLINDNESS.
INGESTION: CAUSES SEVERE BURNS TO MUCOUS MEMBRAN ES OF THE MOUTH,
THROAT, EXOPHAGUS, ANDSOPHAGUS, AND STOMACH. ACUTE: CORROSIVE TO
ALL BODY TISSUES BY ALL ROUTES OF EXPOSURE. THE EFFECT OF LOCAL
DERMAL EXPOSURE MAY CONSIST OF MULTIPLE AREAS OF SUPER FICIAL
DESTRUCTION OF (EFTS OF OVEREXP)
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZ: THE SKIN OR OF PRIMARY IRRITANT
DERMATITIS. SIMILARLY, INHALATION OF DUST, SPRAY, OR MIST MAY
RESULT IN VARYING DEGREES OF IRRITATION OR DAMAGE TO THE
RESPIRATORY TRACT TISSUES AND AN INCREA SED SUSCEPTIBILITY TO
RESPIRATORY ILLNESS. CHRONIC: NO KNOWN CHRONIC EFFECTS.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
Eyes: OBJECT IS TO FLUSH MATL OUT IMMED THEN GET MED ATTN.
IMMED FLUSH EYES W/LRG AMTS OF H*2O FOR AT LEAST 15 MIN, HOLDING
LIDS APART TO ENSURE FLUSHING OF ENTIRE SURFACE. WASHING EYES W/IN
SEVERAL S ECONDS IS ESSENTIAL TO ASCHIEVE MAX EFFECTIVENESS. GET
MED ATTN IMMED. SKIN: IMMED WASH W/PLENTY OF H*2O FOR AT LEAST 15
MIN. REMOVE CONTAMD CLTHG & FOOTWEAR. WASH CLTHG BEFORE REUSE &
DISCARD FOOTWEA R WHICH CANNOT BE DECONTAMINATED GET MED ATTN
IMMED. INHAL: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT HAVE
TRAINED PERS ADMINISTER OXYGEN. IF RESP STOPS, GIVE MOUTH-TO-MOUTH
RESUSCITATION. (SUPDA T)
