EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: pale yellow to light brown crystalline powder.
Danger! Toxic if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed
through the skin. May cause sensitization by inhalation.
Target Organs: Respiratory system.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation.
Skin:
May cause skin irritation. Toxic in contact with skin.
Ingestion:
May cause irritation of the digestive tract. Toxic if swallowed.
Inhalation:
May cause respiratory tract irritation. Toxic if inhaled. May cause
respiratory sensitization.
Chronic:
Repeated or prolonged exposure may cause allergic reactions in
sensitive individuals. Exposure to small amounts of cyanide compounds
over long periods of time is reported to cause loss of appetite,
headache, weakness, nausea, dizziness, and symptoms of irritation of
the upper respiratory tract and eyes.
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.
Ingestion:
POISON material. If swallowed, get medical aid immediately. Only
induce vomiting if directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Inhalation:
POISON material. If inhaled, get medical aid immediately. Remove
victim to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration.
If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
