AFTER EYE CONTACT
Assure adequate flushing of the eyes by separating the eyelids
with fingers.
AFTER INGESTION
If swallowed, wash out mouth with water provided person is
conscious. Call a physician.

11 - Toxicological Information
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE
Symptoms of fluoride overexposure may include salivation,
nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fever, and labored breathing.
Fluoride ion can reduce serum calcium levels possibly causing
fatal hypocalcemia. Prolonged exposure to fluoride dusts,
vapors, or mists results in perforation of the nasal septum.
Chronic effects include excessive calcification of the bones,
ligaments, and tendons. Symptoms of exposure may include burning
sensation, coughing, wheezing, laryngitis, shortness of breath,
headache, nausea, and vomiting. To the best of our knowledge,
the chemical, physical, and toxicological properties have not
been thoroughly investigated.
ROUTE OF EXPOSURE
Multiple Routes: Harmful if swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed
through skin. High concentrations are extremely destructive to
tissues of the mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract,
eyes, and skin.
12 - Ecological Information
No data available.
13 - Disposal Considerations
SUBSTANCE DISPOSAL
The material should be dissolved in: 1) water, 2) acid solution,
or 3) oxidized to a water-soluble state. Precipitate the material
as the sulfide, adjusting the pH of the solution to 7 to complete
precipitation. Filter the insolubles and dispose of them in a
hazardous waste site. Destroy any excess sulfide with sodium
hypochlorite. Neutralize the solution before flushing down the
drain. Observe all federal, state, and local environmental
regulations.
14 - Transport Information
