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 be irritating to the eye, with prolonged contact causing inflammation. Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce conjunctivitis.  

SKIN

  Skin contact with the material may be harmful; systemic effects may resultfollowing absorption.  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.  Exposure limits with "skin" notation indicate that vapor and liquid may be absorbed through intact skin. Absorption by skin may readily exceed vapor inhalation exposure. Symptoms for skin absorption are the same as for inhalation. Contact with eyes and mucous membranes may also contribute to overall exposure and may also invalidate the exposure standard.  

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 usually by inhalation of vapour and skin  contact/absorption.  Repeated skin contact may cause a persistent irritation or dermatitis.  Repeated inhalation may cause lung damage.  Repeated overexposure may aggravate existing liver or kidney disease and  aggravate or enhance existing nervous system dysfunction produced by  disorders known to cause nervous system damage, such as diabetes, alcohol  or drug abuse, and Parkinson's disease.  Overexposure can decrease the ability of blood to carry oxygen. Symptoms  may include headache, weakness, fatigue, dizziness, nausea and vomiting.  Cyanosis (blue discoloration of the lips or skin) may also occur after  significant overexposure.  May cause reproductive effects and birth defects based upon animal data.
