HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
Routes of Exposu re: Inhalation, Skin
Summary of Acute Health Hazards
Acute May cause abdominal spasms and nausea. Overdose may cause gastro-
Ingestion:
Exposure: intestinal tract or cardiovascular irregularities. The fatal dose is estimated to
be about 30 gms
Chronic No adverse effects have been reported from its use as a food additive.
Exposure:
Acute Inhalation or dust may cause irritation with coughing and shortness of breath.
Inhalation:
Exposure:
Chronic Reported cases of burning sensation and pain in the nasal cavities.
Exposure: Occasional nose bleed, and tickling in the throat. Perforation of the nasal
septum has been reported.
Acute Single, short exposure not likely to cause significant skin irritation. However,
Skin:
Exposure: direct contact with dust or solutions may cause severe irritation. Erythema,
blistering, exfoliation, ulceration, necrosis, and scarring. The degree of
irritation depends on the concentration and duration of contact.
Chronic Effects depend on concentration and duration of exposure. Repeated or
Exposure: prolonged contact with corrosive substances may result in dermatitis or
effects similar to those in acute exposure.
Acute Direct contact with the dust may cause irritation with redness and pain and
Eyes:
Exposure: superficial injury. Lacrimation and eye discharge may also occur. Direct
contact of calcium chloride in solution is essentially innocuous. Application of
2 鈥? 10% solution to rabbit eyes caused no permanent injury.
Chronic Repeated or prolonged exposure may result in conjunctivitis.

Note to Physicians: N/A
FIRST AID MEASURES
Ingestion: Treat symptomatically and supportively. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. If
vomiting occurs, keep head lower than hips to prevent aspiration.
Inhalation: Remove from exposure area to fresh air immediately. If breathing has stopped, perform
artificial respiration. Keep person warm and at rest. Treat symptomatically and supportively.
GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
Skin: Remove contaminated clothing and shoes immediately. Wash affected area with soap or
mild detergent and large amounts of water until no evidence of chemical remains (at least
15-20 minutes). GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IF IRRITATION PERSISTS.
Eyes: Wash eyes immediately with large amounts of water or normal saline solution, occasionally
lifting upper and lower lids until no evidence of chemical remains (approx. 15-20 minutes).
GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point: Negligible Fire Hazard Autoignition Temperature: Negligible Fire Hazard
Lower Explosive Limit: N/A Upper Explosive Unit: N/A
Unusual Fire and Negligible fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame.
Explosion Hazards:
Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or regular foam. For 1arger fires,
use water spray, fog, or regular foam.
(1990 Emergency Response Guidebook, DOT p 5800.5).
Special Firefighting Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk. Apply cooling
Procedures: water to sides of containers that are exposed to flames until well after fire is
out. Extinguish fire using agent suitable for type of surrounding fire. Do not
use water directly on material. Avoid breathing corrosive vapors; keep
upwind.
ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Do not touch spilled material. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. For small spills, take up with sand or
other absorbent material and place into container for 1ater disposal. For small dry spills, with clean shovel
place material into clean, dry container and cover.
Move containers from spill area. For larger spills, dike far ahead of spill for later disposal. Keep
unnecessary people away. Isolate hazard and deny entry.
HANDLING AND STORAGE
Observe all federal, state and local regulations when storing this substance. Store in a tightly closed
container. Store away from incompatible substances.
