Inhalation                             If product is inhaled, move exposed individual to fresh air. If individual is not 
                                       breathing, begin arti飥乧ial respiration immediately and obtain medical attention. 
Eye Contact                            If product enters eyes, wash eyes gently under running water for 15 
                                       minutes or longer, making sure that the eyelids are held open. If pain 
                                       or irritation occur, obtain medical attention. 
Skin Contact                           In case of skin contact, 飥倁sh with copious amounts of water for at 
                                       least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. If pain 
                                       or irritation occur, obtain medical attention. 
Ingestion                              If ingested, wash mouth out with water. If irritation or discomfort 
                                       occurs, seek medical attention.

                         Section 11 Toxicological Information (Continued) 
Potential Effects of                  This product contains material of animal origin and should be considered as 
                                      potentially capable of transmitting infectious diseases. 
Acute Exposure 
                                      Although its concentration in this product is low, sodium azide is highly toxic 
                                      by ingestion and skin absorption. Overexposure may result in irritation of skin, 
                                      eyes and mucous membranes, lowered blood pressure and irregular heartbeat. 
                                      Sodium azide is a chemical asphyxiant and may effect the cardiovascular, 
                                      respiratory and central nervous systems. Symptoms may include irritation, 
                                      severe, pounding headaches, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, low blood 
                                      pressure, rapid heartbeat, convulsions, collapse and death. 
                                      Prolonged or repeated exposure to sodium azide may result in pounding headaches, 
Potential Effects of Chronic 
                                      eye and nose irritation, low blood pressure, fatigue and dizziness. 
Exposure 
Symptoms of Overexposure              Symptoms of overexposure may include: eye, skin, nose and throat 
                                      irritation; headache, weakness, dizziness, confusion, nausea and vomiting. 
                                      Severe cases may exhibit dif飥乧ulty in breathing, irregular heartbeat, reddish 
                                      colored skin, unconsciousness, convulsions, coma and death. Symptoms 
                                      may be delayed for several hours after exposure.
