SECTION 6 - TOXICOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
ROUTE OF ENTRY
INGESTION
INHALATION
SKIN CONTACT SKIN ABSORPTION EYE CONTACT
EFFECTS OF ACUTE EXPOSURE TO PRODUCT
Very hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of eye contact (irritant), of ingestion, of inhalation. Hazardous in case of
skin contact (corrosive), of eye contact (corrosive). Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (permeator). 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. Inhalation of dust will produce irritation to gastro-intestinal or respiratory tract,
characterized by burning, sneezing and coughing. 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.
Skin: Corrosive action skin. Causes skin irritation and burns. It is corrosive and can cause penetrating lesions and brown
staining. It can be absorbed by the skin.
Eyes: Causes eye irritation and burns. May cause conjunctivitis. Exposure to vapor can cause burning sensation in the
eyes, tearing, inflammation of the eye lids. Exposure to high concentrations of vapor can cause Dendritic Keratitis in
which the corneal epithelium is sloughed off.
Inhalation: Excessive inhalation of iodine vapors may cause respiratory tract, nasal, and mucous membrane irritation
with possible burns. Symptoms may include coughing, tightness in the chest, burning sensations to the mucosal,
tracheal, and pulmonary tissues, rhinitis, dyspnea/respiratory distress, coughing, sneezing, pulmonary edema, chemical
pneumonitis, edema of the larynx and bronchi, pharyngitis, swelling of the parotid gland, and cachexia. High exposure
may lead to lung disease and may also affect behavior/central nervous system (delirium, hallucination, depression,
seizure, dizziness, headache, stupor, somnolence).
Ingestion: Ingestion of large doses may cause irritation of mouth of the digestive tract with thirst, nausea, vomiting,
abdominal pain, hypermotility, and diarrhea, staining of mouth, esophagus, lips, mucous membranes, metallic taste,
abdominal pain, fever. It ma y also affect the cardiovascular system (tachycardia, hypotension, cardiovascular collapse),
behavior/central nervous system delirium, dizziness, headache, hallucinations, seizures, depression, stupor,
somnolence, muscle weakness. Death is rare following acute iodine ingestion. It is estimated that the mean lethal dose in
an adult lies between 2 to 4 grams of free iodine. However, death from acute iodine poisoning may occur due to
circulatory collapse, asphyxiation from glottic edema, pulmonary edema, aspiration pneumonia, and cyanosis.

EFFECTS OF CHRONIC EXPOSURE TO PRODUCT
Hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of eye contact (irritant), of ingestion, of inhalation. The substance is toxic to
thyroid . The substance may be toxic to blood, kidneys, liver, skin, eyes. 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. May cause adverse reproductive effects (effects on new
born).
Skin: May cause reddening of the skin, itching, acne-like eruption of the skin/skin rash, and skin allergies
Eyes: May cause eye irritation and conjunctivitis.
Ingestion: May cause a reversible reduction in thyroid function (hypothyroidism), nodular goiter, hyperthyroidism,
thyrotoxicosis, metabolic disturbances, and may affect the blood (anemia), liver, urinary system/kidneys (kidney
damage, hematuria, albuminaria, anuria). Other symptoms of chronic iodine poisoning (Iodism) may include fever, rapid
heartbeat, tremor, headache, delirium, stupor, insomnia, salivation, weight loss/loss of appetite, salivation, stomatitis,
parotitis, diarrhea, gastric irritation, joint pain and swelling. Furthermore, chronic ingestion of iodides (in animals) during
pregnancy has resulted in fetal deaths, severe goiter and cretinoid appearance of the newborn.
Inhalation: May cause disrupted thyroid activity (see ingestion), and chronic irritation of the throat, sneezing, nasal
discharge, bronchitis, laryngitis, asthma. It may also affect behavior (see ingestion). Iodine concentrates in the Thyroid
during chronic exposure.

ENGINEERING CONTROLS (SPECIFY eg. VENTILATION, ENCLOSED PROCESS)
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.
LEAK AND SPILL PROCEDURE
Use appropriate tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal container.
WASTE DISPOSAL
According to local, provincial, and federal regulations.
HANDLING PROCEDURES AND EQUIPMENT
Keep container dry. Do not ingest. Do not breathe dust. Never add water to this product. In case of insufficient
ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. 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 oxidizing agents, reducing agents,
metals.
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS
Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Container may be hazardous when
empty since they retain product residues (Dust, Solids) observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product

SECTION 8 - FIRST AID MEASURES
SPECIFIC MEASURES
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while
SKIN
removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Wash
clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical attention immediately.
Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of
