Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO	OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:TARGET ORGANS AFFECTED: RESPIRATORY
    AND DIGESTIVE SYSTEMS, LIVER KIDNEYS. INGESTION: CAN CAUSE COPPER
    POISONING AND/OR DEATH. MAY CAUSE BURNS OF THE MOUTH, THROAT AND
    STOMACH. NAUSEA, VOMTING, DIARRHE A, AND GASTRIC PAIN. EYES:
    CORROSIVE; CUASES CONJUNCTIVITIS. SKIN: MAY CAUSE ALLERGIC SKIN
    REACTION. INHALATION: CAUSES UPPER RESPIRATORY IRRITATION AND
    CONGESTION OF THE NASAL AND MUCOUS MEMBRANES.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE
Effects of Overexposure:INGESTION: CAN CAUSE COPPER POISONING AND/OR
    DEATH. MAY CAUSE BURNS OF THE MOUTH, THROAT AND STOMACH, NAUSEA,
    VOMTING, DIARRHEA, AND GASTRIC PAIN. EYES: CORROSIVE; CUASES
    CONJUNCTIVITIS. SKIN: MAY CAU SE ALLERGIC SKIN REACTION.
    INHALATION: CAUSES UPPER RESPIRATORY IRRITATION AND CONGESTION OF
    THE NASAL AND MUCOUS MEMBRANES.
