Section 3 : Hazard Identification
Non-flammable, non-corrosive. Does not present any significant health hazards. Hazards increase as
Emergency Overview:
concentration increases. Serious exposures to Iodine are seldom encountered in industry due to the low volatility of the
solid at room temperatures. Will stain skin. Wash areas of contact with plenty of water. For eyes, get medical attention.
Target Organs:eyes, skin, respiratory system, central nervous system, cardiovascular system.
Eye Contact:Causes irritation.
Inhalation:May cause irritation of the respiratory tract.
Skin Contact:May cause irritation. Will stain skin.
Ingestion:May cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and cramps.
Chronic ingestion of large amounts may result in thyroid disease.
Chronic Effects/Carcinogenicity:
IARC - No.
NTP - No.
OSHA - No.
Mutation data cited in 'Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances' for Potassium
Teratology (Birth Defect) Information:

Section 4. First Aid Measures 鈥? In all cases, seek qualified evaluation.
Eye Contact:Irrigate immediately with large quantity of water for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician if irritation develops.
Inhalation:Remove to fresh air. Give artificial respiration if necessary. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Skin Contact:Flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician if irritation develops.
Ingestion:Dilute immediately with water or milk. Induce vomiting. Call a physician.

Section 11. Toxicological Information
LD50, Oral, Rat: (Iodine) 14 gm/kg, details of toxic effects not reported other than lethal dose value.
Section 12. Ecological Information
There is insufficient information available to evaluate the long-term effects of Iodine on aquatic
Ecotoxicological Information:
life, birds, plants or terrestrial animals.
Iodine is highly persistent in water, with a half-life of between 20 and 200 days. The
Chemical Fate Information:
concentration of Iodine found in fish tissues is expected to be much higher than the average concentration of Iodine in
water from which the fish was taken.
Section 13. Disposal Considerations
Dilute solution with water. Neutralize with Sodium Thiosulfate solutions until colorless. Neutralize this resulting solution
with Sodium Carbonate or dilute Hydrochloric Acid solutions, then wash down the drain with excess water if local
regulations allow. If not allowed, save for recovery or recycling with a RCRA approved waste disposal facility.
