Explanation of Carcinogenicity:ANTIMONY TRIOXIDE IS LISTED AS A
SUSPECTED CARCINOGEN BY IARC.
Effects of Overexposure:ACID CONTACT MAY CAUSE IRRITATION OF EYES, NOSE
AND THROAT. BREATHING OF MIST MAY PRODUCE RESPIRATORY DIFFICULTY.
CONTACT WITH EYES AND SKIN CAUSES IRRITATION AND SKIN BURNS.
SULFURIC ACID IS A CORROS IVE CHEMICAL. OVEREXPOSURE TO LEAD MAY
CAUSE LOSS OF APPETITE, FATIGUE, ANEMIA, DAMAGE TO KIDNEYS AND
NERVOUS SYSTEM.
