POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS

ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS

SWALLOWED

  Accidental ingestion of the material may be harmful; animal experiments indicate that ingestion of less than 150 gram may be fatal or may produce serious damage to the health of the individual.  The material can produce chemical burns within the oral cavity and gastrointestinal tract following ingestion.  Considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial environments.  

EYE

  The material can produce chemical burns to the eye following direct contact. Vapors or mists may be extremely irritating.  If applied to the eyes, this material causes severe eye damage.  The material may produce severe irritation to the eye causing pronounced inflammation. Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce conjunctivitis.  

SKIN

  The material can produce chemical burns following direct contactwith the skin.  The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and may produce on contact skin redness, swelling, the production of vesicles, scaling and thickening of the skin.  

INHALED

  If inhaled, this material can irritate the throat andlungs of some persons.  The material may produce respiratory tract irritation, and result in damage to the lung including reduced lung function.  

CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS

  Principal routes of exposure are inhalation of vapour/mist and skin/  eye contact. Vapour or mist can cause irritation of the nose, throat and  upper respiratory tract; coughing and choking; bleeding of nose and gums;  inflammation and occasionally ulceration of the nose, throat and larynx.  Severe exposure can result in pulmonary oedema and corrosion of tissues in  the nose and throat. The acid causes severe burns of the mouth, oesophagus  and stomach with consequent pain, nausea and vomiting, thirst, diarrhoea,  circulatory collapse and possibly death. Prolonged exposure can cause  erosion of the teeth and chronic bronchitis.  Note: Irritating fumes are given off during soldering operations. Avoid  inhalation.
