Section 3 - Hazards Identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW

Appearance: white to pale yellow flakes.
Danger! Harmful in contact with skin and if swallowed. Causes burns by all exposure routes. Toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.
Target Organs: Blood, kidneys, liver, respiratory system, gastrointestinal system, eyes, skin.


Potential Health Effects
Eye: Causes eye burns.
Skin: Harmful if absorbed through the skin. Causes skin burns. May cause depigmentation of the skin.
Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed. Causes gastrointestinal tract burns.
Inhalation: Causes chemical burns to the respiratory tract. May be harmful if inhaled.
Chronic: May cause liver and kidney damage. Chronic exposure may cause blood effects.

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 imme diately.
Skin: Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
