Hazards

Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:THIS DRY CHEMICAL MIXTURE POSES LITTLE
HAZARD. MECHANICAL IRRITATION OF EYES IS POSSIBLE DURING USE AND
MAINTENANCE OF EXTINGUISHERS. CHRONIC INHALATION OF ANY PARTICULATE
MAY DAMAGE LUNGS. SKIN: MILD IRRITATION. EYES: MODERATE
IRRITATION. INGESTION: POSSIBLE GASTRIC DISTRESS. INHALATION: MAY
CAUSE MILD IRRITATION OF NOSE, THROAT, TISSUES OF RESPIRATORY
SYSTEM. EYE OR SKIN CONTACT: DUST MAY CAUSE MODERATE IRRITATION,
REDDENING OF EYE, DISCOMFORT. SKIN ABSORPTION: NO COMPONENT OF
PRODUCT IS KNOWN TO ABSORB THROUGH SKIN. INGESTION: MILD GASTRIC
DISTRESS, CAN LEAD TO SYSTEMIC ALKALOSIS. INJECTIO N: MILD SKIN
IRRITATION.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:PRODUCT INGREDIENTS ARE NOT FOUND ON THE
FOLLOWING LISTS: FEDERAL OSHA Z LIST, NTP, CAL/OSHA. THE BLACK
PIGMENT IS REPROTED IN IARC AS A GROUP 3 COMPOUND (HUMAN INADEQUATE
EVIDENCE; ANIMAL INADEQUATE EVIDENCE).
Effects of Overexposure:MILD SKIN IRRITATION, MODERATE EYE IRRITATION,
POSSIBLE GASTRIC DISTRESS. MILD IRRITATION OF NOSE, THROAT.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PROLONGED CONTACT MAY AGGRAVATE
PRE-EXISTING DERMATITIS. PERSONS SENSITIVE TO PULMONARY IRRITATION
OF MISTS OR SPRAYS SHOULD USE RESPIRATORY PROTECTION WHEN
RECHARGING FIRE EXTINGUISHERS.

First Aid

First Aid:SKIN CONTACT: FLUSH WITH RUNNING WATER. REMOVE CONTAMINATED
CLOTHING. IF REDDENING OR IRRITATION OCCURS, SEEK MEDICAL
ATTENTION. EYE CONTACT: OPEN VICTIM'S EYES WHILE UNDER RUNNING
WATER. HAVE VICTIM "ROLL" EYES. MINIMUM FLUSHING IS FOR 15
MINUTES. INHALATION: MOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF NECESSARY, USE
ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF IRRITATION OCCURS, GET MEDICAL
ATTENTION. INGESTION: CALL PHYSICIAN OR POI SON CONTROL CENTER FOR
MOST CURRENT INFORMATION. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. GIVE MILK, EGG
WHITES, OR LARGE QUANTITIES OF WATER. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH
TO UNCONSCIOUS PERSON. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION.
