DUST (LC50): Acute: 2.7 ppm 4 hour(s) [Mouse].
Section 3. Hazards Identification
Potential Acute Health Effects Extremely hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of eye contact (irritant). Hazardous in case of skin contact
(corrosive), of eye contact (corrosive). Slightly hazardous in case of inhalation (lung irritant, lung corrosive). The
amount of tissue damage depends on length of contact. Eye contact can result in corneal damage or blindness.
Skin contact can produce inflammation and blistering. Severe over-exposure can produce lung damage, choking,
unconsciousness or death. Inflammation of the eye is characterized by redness, watering, and itching. Skin
inflammation is characterized by itching, scaling, reddening, or, occasionally, blistering.

Very hazardous in case of skin contact (corrosive, irritant), of eye contact (irritant).
Potential Chronic Health
Hazardous in case of inhalation (lung irritant).
Effects
CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available.
MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Not available.
TERATOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available.
DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Not available.
The substance is toxic to blood, the nervous system, liver, brain, bones, central nervous system (CNS).
Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage. Repeated exposure of the
eyes to a low level of dust can produce eye irritation. Repeated skin exposure can produce local skin destruction,
or dermatitis. Repeated inhalation of dust can produce varying degree of respiratory irritation or lung damage.
Repeated exposure to an highly toxic material may produce general deterioration of health by an accumulation in
one or many human organs. Repeated or prolonged inhalation of dust may lead to chronic respiratory irritation.
Section 4. First Aid Measures
Eye Contact Check for and remove any contact lenses. Do not use an eye ointment. Seek medical attention.
Skin Contact If the chemical got onto the clothed portion of the body, remove the contaminated clothes as quickly as possible,
protecting your own hands and body. Place the victim under a deluge shower. If the chemical got on the victim's
exposed skin, such as the hands : Gently and thoroughly wash the contaminated skin with running water and
non-abrasive soap. Be particularly careful to clean folds, crevices, creases and groin. If irritation persists, seek
medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing before reusing.
Serious Skin Contact Wash with a disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream. Seek immediate
medical attention.
Inhalation Allow the victim to rest in a well ventilated area. Seek immediate medical attention.
Serious Inhalation Evacuate the victim to a safe area as soon as possible. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or
waistband. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation. WARNING: It may be hazardous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation
when the inhaled material is toxic, infectious or corrosive. Seek immediate medical attention.
Ingestion Do not induce vomiting. Examine the lips and mouth to ascertain whether the tissues are damaged, a possible
indication that the toxic material was ingested; the absence of such signs, however, is not conclusive. Loosen
tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation. Seek immediate medical attention.
Serious Ingestion Not available.

Section 6. Accidental Release Measures
Small Spill Use appropriate tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal container.
Large Spill Corrosive solid.
Stop leak if without risk. Do not get water inside container. Do not touch spilled material. Use water spray to
reduce vapors. Prevent entry into sewers, basements or confined areas; dike if needed. Eliminate all ignition
sources. Call for assistance on disposal.
Section 7. Handling and Storage
Keep locked up Keep container dry. Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Empty
Precautions
containers pose a fire risk, evaporate the residue under a fume hood. Ground all equipment containing material.
Do not ingest. Do not breathe dust. Never add water to this product If ingested, seek medical advice
immediately and show the container or the label. Avoid contact with skin and eyes Keep away from incompatibles
such as moisture.
Keep container dry. Keep in a cool place. Ground all equipment containing material. Corrosive materials should
Storage
be stored in a separate safety storage cabinet or room.
Section 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Engineering Controls Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below
recommended exposure limits. If user operations generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to
airborne contaminants below the exposure limit.
Personal Protection Splash goggles. Synthetic apron. Dust respirator. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent.
Gloves.
Personal Protection in Case of Splash goggles. Full suit. Dust respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self contained breathing apparatus should be used
a Large Spill to avoid inhalation of the product. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist
BEFORE handling this product.
