TOXICOLOGICAL PROPERTIES |
| INFORMATION: |
INFORMATION FOR THIS
PRODUCT IS BASED AT 100% CONCENTRATION OF HARZARDEOUS INGREDIENTS |
| Route of entry |
|
Brief contact
may cause minimal irritation seen as a mild local redness. May cause
itching. prolonged contact may cause more severe irritation, with
discomfort or pain. local redness and swelling, and possible
tissue destruction. |
|
| Skin contact |
|
Moderately
toxic, prolonged or widespread contact may result in the
absorption
of potentially harmful amounts of material. Effects may include
those described for “ingestion”. |
|
| Skin absorption |
|
| Eye contact |
Causes burns. may
cause loss of sight, chronic effects. |
| Vapour exposure |
(in high
concentration) Irritation of the eyes and upper respiratory
tract, headache, nausea,
gastro-intestinal disturbances. |
| Swallowing, ingestion |
Burns in mouth,
pharynx and gastrointestinal tract. Causes severe burn of mouth, esophagus, and stomach. |
| Effects of acute exposure |
see above |
| Effects of chronic exposure |
|
Hemolytic anemia
and secondary injury to the kidney and liver. However humans seem to
be resistant to this effect. |

contact physician if irritation occurs. |
| |
oral/ ingestion:
If ingested have victim drink to glasses of water. Induce
vomiting if
conscious. Do not give anything |
| |
inhalation:
remove to fresh air, restore and or support breathing, seek medical
attention if respiratory irritation occurs or if breathing is
difficult i in
case of ingestion:,
if conscious and medical aid is not immediately available, dilute
stomach contents by giving large amounts of water or milk and induce
vomiting. |
| Primary route of ingestion |
There is no specific antidote. Treatment should be directed at the
