Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:EYE: LIKE OTHER FOREIGN BODIES,
PARTICLES MAY CAUSE MECH IRRIT OF EYE. SKIN: PROD IS NOT EXPECTED
TO CAUSE SKIN IRRIT UPON CNTCT BUT, IT HAS SHARP EDGES WHICH MAY
CAUSE SKIN CUTS & ABRASIONS. PROD IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE HAZ THRU
DERMAL ABSORPTION & NO CASES OF ALLERGIC SKIN RXN HAVE BEEN
REPORTED. INGEST: THIS PROD WOULD BE CONSIDERED PRACTICALLY NON-TOX
BY INGEST. IF INGESTED IN LRG AMTS, NAUS, VO MIT, & DIARR ARE
PROBABLE. SINCE PHOSPHATES ARE SLOWLY & INCOMPLETELY ABSORBED,
SYSTEMIC REACTIONS ARE UNLIKELY WHEN THESE SALTS ARE SWALLOWED.
POLYPHOSPHATES ARE THOUGHT TO BE HYDROLYZED TO ORTHOPHOS PHATES
BEFORE (EFTS OF OVEREXP)
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZ: ABSORPTION, WHICH MAY INDUCE
METABOLIC ACIDOSIS. IF APPRECIABLE AMTS OF INTACT POLYMER ARE
ABSORBED FROM ALIMENTARY TRACT, HYPOCALCEMIC TETANY (MUSCULAR
CONTRACTIONS, PAINS, TINGLING, ETC. C AUSED BY DEFICIENCY OF
CALCIUM SALTS) MAY BE DANGER DUE TO BINDING OF IONIZED CALCIUM.
INHAL: THIS PROD IS NOT EXPECTED TO PRESENT INHAL HAZ. AS W/ANY
PARTICULATE MATTER, INHAL OF DUST OF THIS PROD MA Y CAUSE UPPER
RESP IRRIT DUE TO MECH ACTION. SUBCHRONIC, CHRONIC: NO APPLIC INFO
WAS FOUND CONCERNING ANY POTNTL HLTH EFTS RSLTG FROM
SUBCHRONIC/CHRONIC EXPOS TO PROD. SOME STUDIES HAVE BEEN CONDUCTE D
ON SODIUM POLYMETAPHOSPHATE, (SUPDAT)

First Aid:EYE CONTACT: NOT EXPECTED TO REQUIRE FIRST AID MEASURES.
