in case of inhalation. Liquid or spray mist may produce tissue damage particularly on mucous membranes of eyes,
Effects
mouth and respiratory tract. Skin contact may produce burns. Inhalation of the spray mist may produce severe
irritation of respiratory tract, characterized by coughing, choking, or shortness of breath. Inflammation of the eye is
characterized by redness, watering, and itching. Skin inflammation is characterized by itching, scaling, reddening, or,

Hydriodic Acid, 55%-57%
Extremely hazardous in case of skin contact (corrosive, irritant), of eye contact (irritant), of ingestion.
Potential Chronic Health
Very hazardous in case of inhalation.
Effects
Non-sensitizer for skin. Non-permeator by skin.
CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available.
MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Not available.
TERATOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available.
DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Not available.
The substance is toxic to mucous membranes.
Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage. Repeated or prolonged
contact with spray mist may produce chronic eye irritation and severe skin irritation. Repeated or prolonged exposure
to spray mist may produce respiratory tract irritation leading to frequent attacks of bronchial infection. Repeated or
prolonged inhalation of vapors may lead to chronic respiratory irritation.
Section 4. First Aid Measures
Check for and remove any contact lenses. Immediately flush eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes, keeping
Eye Contact
eyelids open. Cold water may be used. Do not use an eye ointment. Seek medical attention.
If the chemical got onto the clothed portion of the body, remove the contaminated clothes as quickly as possible,
Skin Contact
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. Cold water may be used. If
irritation persists, seek medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing before reusing.
Wash with a disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream. Seek medical attention.
Serious Skin Contact
Allow the victim to rest in a well ventilated area. Seek immediate medical attention.
Inhalation
Evacuate the victim to a safe area as soon as possible. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.
Serious Inhalation
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.
Do not induce vomiting. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If the victim is not breathing,
