EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: white granules.
Warning! Possible cancer hazard. May cause cancer
based on animal data. May cause allergic respiratory and skin
reaction. May cause eye, skin, and respiratory tract irritation.
Toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in
the aquatic environment. May cause cancer by inhalation. Hygroscopic
(absorbs moisture from the air).
Target Organs: Respiratory system, skin.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation.
Skin:
May cause skin irritation. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic
reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material.
May be harmful if absorbed through the skin.
Ingestion:
May cause irritation of the digestive tract. May be harmful if
swallowed.
Inhalation:
May cause allergic respiratory reaction. May cause respiratory tract
irritation. May be harmful if inhaled.
Chronic:
May cause cancer according to animal studies. Adverse reproductive
effects have been reported in animals. Repeated or prolonged exposure
may cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Animal studies
have reported the development of tumors.

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.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. Get medical aid.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do not use
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation if victim ingested or inhaled the
substance; induce artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket
mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory
medical device.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
