Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:HEALTH EFFECTS FROM EXPOSURE TO
DILUTED FORMS OF THIS CHEMICAL ARE NOT WELL DOCUMENTED. THEY ARE
EXPECTED TO BE LESS SEVERE THAN THOSE FOR CONCENTRATED FORMS WHICH
ARE REFERENCED IN THE DESCRIPTIONS B ELOW: INHALATION: RESPIRTORY
TRACT IRRITANT, MAY CAUSE SERIOUS BURNS ON ACUTE CONTACT. SEVERE
INJURY IS USUALLY AVOIDED BY THE SELF-LIMITING COUGHING AND
SNEEZING SYMPTOMS. INGESTION: TOXIC! CORROSIVE TO MUCOUS MEMBRANES
AND MAY CAUSE PERFORATION OF ESOPHAGUS AND STOMACH. ABDOMINAL PAIN,
NAUSEA, VOMITING, GENERAL GASTRO-INTESTINAL UPSET CAN BE EXPECTED.
SKIN CONTACT: IRRITANT, POSSIBLY (EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE)
Effects of Overexposure:HEALTH HAZARDS: CORROSIVE TO EYE TISSUES.
TEARING, REDNESS, PAIN, IMPAIRED VISION ARE SYMPTOMS. CHRONIC
EXPOSURE: DEVELOPMENT OF A DEFATTING DERMATITIS ON PROLONGED
CONTACT WITH POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE HA S BEEN REPORTED. CONTINUED
IRRITATION MAY LEAD TO INCREASED SUSCEPTIBILITY TO RESPIRATORY
ILLNESS.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PERSONS WITH PRE-EXISTING SKIN
DISORDERS OR EYE PROBLEMS, OR IMPAIRED KIDNEY OR RESPIRATORY
FUNCTION MAY BE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE EFFECTS OF THE SUBSTANCE.
