SECTION V - Health Hazard Information
A. Exposure/ Health Effects
Inhalation:
Dust and mists of Ferric Salts may be irritating to the respiratorytract. Coughing and sneezingmay occur.
trngestion:
Large dosescan causegastrointestinalirritation, with abdominalcramps,vomiting, diarrheaand black stool. Pink urine
discoloration is a strong indicator of iron poisoning. Liver damage,coma, and deathfrom iron poisoning has been recorded.
Skin contact:
Ferric Salts may be skin irritants.
Eye contact:
Irritant. May causereddening and tearing.

Chronic exposure:
IJnder somecircumstances
methemoglobinemia
occursin individuals when the nihate is convertedby bacteriain the stomach
to nitrite.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions :
Personswith pre-existingskin disordersor eye problemsor impaired liver, kidney or respiratoryfunction may be more
susceptibleto the effects ofthe substance.
B. First Aid.
fnhalation:
Remove to fresh air. Get medical aftentionfor any breathingdifficulty.
Ingestion:
If swallowed, induce vomiting immediatelyby giving fwo glasses water, and sticking finger down the throat. Never give
of
anything by mouth to an unconsciousperson.Call a physician immediately.

Remove any contaminatedclothing. Wash skin with soapor mild detergentand water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical
attention if initation developsor persists.
Eye Exposure:
Wash eyeswith plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting Iower and upper eyelids occasionally.Get medical attention
immediately.
C. Toxicity Data (RTECS,1982)

SECTION VI - Occupational Control Measures
Airborne Exposure Limits:
-ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV): soluble iron salts.
I mg(Fe)/m3(TWA)
2 mg (Fe)/m'(STEL)
Ventilated System:
In generala local exhaustsystem is recommended keep employeeexposiuesbelow the airborne exposurelimits. Local
