III. FIRST AID PROCEDURES
Eyes: If in eyes, flush with water for 15 minutes holding eyelids open. Get medical attention if irritation persists.
Ingestion: Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person. Have conscious person drink 1 to 2
glasses of water, then induce repeated vomiting until vomit is clear. Call physician.
Wash with plenty of soap and water.
Skin:
Remove to fresh air. Treat symptomatically.
Inhalation:
IV. HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION
Summary of Risks
Direct contact may irritate eyes and skin. Inhalation of dust may irritate nose, throat, and lungs. Ingestion of large
amounts of ferrous sulfate may cause severe gastrointestinal irritation, shock, and loss of consciousness.
One experimental study published in 1960 reports tumors in mice given subcutaneous doses of ferrous sulfate.
Reproductive and mutagenic effects have also been reported.
Inhalation of heavy concentrations of manganese-containing dusts over very prolonged periods of exposure (usually one to
three years) has been reported to cause damage to the central nervous system.

V. PERSONAL PROTECTION AND PRECAUTIONS
Warning Properties: Irritation of eyes, nose, or mouth.
Goggles: None required for routine use as fertilizer. High airborne dust levels or mists of product dissolved in
liquid may be irritating; use chemical goggles.
Gloves: None required for normal use. If prolonged or repeated use irritates skin, use neoprene or
PVC gloves.
Respirator: If airborne dust levels are high or product does not remain intact, use a combination of engineering
controls (e.g. ventilation) and personal protection (e.g. NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator for dusts,
mists, and fumes) to reduce exposures to acceptable levels.
Workplace Considerations
Ventilation: Ventilation and personal protection are recommended whenever dust levels are high or
product does not remain intact.
Safety Stations: Running water should be available in case material gets in eyes.
Other: Do not use during windy periods.
