Section 3: Hazards Identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: Appearance: yellow-green solid. Causes skin irritation. May cause eye irritation. Causes

respiratory tract irritation. May cause digestive tract irritation.

Caution!:

Target Organs: None known.

Potential Health Effects:

Eye: Causes eye irritation. In the eyes, the dusts cause a burning sensation, tearing, and conjunctival hyperemia (an excess

of blood in a part), sometimes associated with photophobia.

Skin: Causes skin irritation. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to

this material. Contact with the skin may cause urticaria (hives).

Ingestion: May cause irritation of the digestive tract.

Inhalation: Causes respiratory tract irritation. May cause asthmatic attacks due to allergic sensitization of the respiratory tract.

Causes irritation of mucous membrane. Inhalation may produce tearing, sneezing, rhinorrhea (the free discharge of a thin

nasal mucus), cough, dyspnea (labored breathing), bronchial asthma, and cyanosis (bluish discoloration of skin due to

deficient oxygenation of the blood).

Chronic: Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis. Chronic inhalation may cause effects similar to those of

acute inhalation.

Section 4: First Aid Measures

Eyes: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid

immediately.

Skin: Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.

Ingestion: If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious

person. Get medical aid. Get medical aid immediately.

Inhalation: Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is

difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid.

Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.

Section 5: Fire and Explosion Data
