Section 3 - Hazards Identification

Appearance: yellow-brown powder.
Caution! May cause eye, skin, and respiratory tract irritation.
Target Organs: Kidneys, liver, skin.


Potential Health Effects
Eye: May cause eye irritation. Lachrymator (substance which increases the flow of tears). May cause redness, pain, blurred vision and possible eye damage.
Skin: May cause skin irritation. May be absorbed through the skin in harmful amounts. Direct contact may produce erythema (redness) and pain.
Ingestion: May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May cause liver damage.
Inhalation: May cause respiratory tract irritation.
Chronic: Chronic ingestion may cause liver damage. Prolonged or repeated eye contact may cause conjunctivitis.

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: Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if irritation develops or persists.
Ingestion: Get medical aid immediately. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse mouth and drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
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 if cough or other symptoms appear.
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.
