Section 3 - Hazards
Identification |
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: white solid. May be harmful if swallowed. May cause severe
respiratory and digestive tract irritation with possible burns. May cause severe
eye and skin irritation with possible burns. May cause cardiac disturbances.
Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the air). Warning!
Target Organs: Heart.
Potential Health
Effects
Eye: Contact with eyes may cause
severe irritation, and possible eye burns.
Skin: Contact
with skin causes irritation and possible burns, especially if the skin is wet or
moist.
Ingestion: May cause severe gastrointestinal tract
irritation with nausea, vomiting and possible burns. May cause cardiac
disturbances. May be harmful if swallowed. In very severe cases, seizures, rapid
respiration, slow heartbeat, or death, may result.
Inhalation: May cause severe irritation of the upper
respiratory tract with pain, burns, and inflammation.
Chronic: Effects may be delayed.

Section 4 - First Aid
Measures |
Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water
for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get
medical aid.
Skin: Get medical aid. Immediately flush skin
with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated
clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of
milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get
medical aid.
Inhalation: Remove from exposure and move to
fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation.
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically
and supportively.
