Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE - INHALE: MAY CAUSE IRRITATION
OF MUCOUS MEMBRANES. EYE/SKIN: CAN CAUSE MODERATE IRRITATION.
INGESTION: HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED. MAY CAUSE GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT
IRRITATION, NAUSEA, VOMITING. COMPO NENTS OF THE PRODUCT CREATE
FORMATION OF METHEMOGLOBIN. PREGNANT WOMEN ARE PARTICULARLY
SENSITIVE TO METHEMOGLOBINEMIA. MAY CAUSE A DECREASE IN BLOOD
PRESSURE AND CYANOSIS. CHRONIC - REPEATED INGESTIO N OF SMALL
AMOUNTS OF SODIUM NITRITE CAUSES DROPS IN BLOOD PRESSURE, RAPID
PULSE, HEADACHES AND VISUAL DISTURBANCES. IT MAY REACT WITH AMINES
IN THE BODY TO FORM CARCINOGENIC NITROSAMINES.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:IT MAY REACT WITH AMINES IN THE BODY TO
FORM CARCINOGENIC NITROSAMINES.
Effects of Overexposure:INHALE: MAY CAUSE IRRITATION OF MUCOUS
MEMBRANES. EYE/SKIN: CAN CAUSE MODERATE IRRITATION. INGESTION: MAY
CAUSE GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT IRRITATION, NAUSEA, VOMITING. MAY
CAUSE A DECREASE IN BLOOD PRESS URE AND CYANOSIS.
