Section 3. Hazards Identification
Acute Effects Routes of EntryInhalation
Skin Hazardous in case of skin contact (corrosive). The amount of tissue damage depends on length of contact. Skin
contact can produce inflammation and blistering. Skin contact may produce burns. Medical Conditions Aggravated
by Overexposure: Skin
Eyes Hazardous in case of eye contact (corrosive). Eye contact can result in corneal damage or blindness. Medical
Conditions Aggravated by Overexposure: Eye
Inhalation Hazardous in case of inhalation (lung corrosive). Inhalation of dust will produce irritation to gastro-intestinal or
respiratory tract, characterized by burning, sneezing and coughing. Over-exposure by inhalation may cause respiratory
irritation. Medical Conditions Aggravated by Overexposure: Respiratory
Ingestion May be fatal if swallowed. May cause burns to mouth, throat and stomach.
Chronic Effects 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.
Additional information : See Toxicological Information (section 11)
Section 4. First Aid Measures
Eye Contact Flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get
medical attention immediately.
Skin Contact In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing
contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Get medical attention immediately.
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give
