Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALATION: INHALATION OF DUST MAY
CAUSE IRRITATION TO THE RESPIRATORY TRACT. SYMPTOMS MAY INCLUDE
COUGHING AND LABORED BREATHING. EXCESSIVE CONTACT IS KNOWN TO CAUSE
DAMAGE TO THE NASAL SEPTUM. INGES TION: ONLY SLIGHTLY TOXIC, BUT
LARGE DOSES MAY BE CORROSIVE TO THE GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT WHERE

COLLAPSE. SKIN CONTACT: EXCESSIVE CO NTACT MAY CAUSE IRRITATION
WITH BLISTERING AND REDNESS. SOLUTIONS MAY CAUSE SEVERE IRRITATION
OR BURNS. EYE CONTACT: CONTACT MAY BE CORROSIVE TO EYES AND CAUSE
CONJUCTIVAL EDEMA AND CORNEAL DESTRUCTIO N (SIGNS & SYMPTOMS).
Effects of Overexposure:HEALTH HAZARDS ACUTE AND CHRONIC (CONT):
CHRONIC: PROLONGED OR REPEATED SKIN EXPOSURE MAY CAUSE
SENSITIZATION.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NO INFORMATION FOUND.

First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION FOR
