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.  Considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial environments.  

EYE

  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.  This material can cause inflammation of the skin oncontact in some persons.  Toxic effects may result from skin absorption.  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.  Inhalation hazard is increased at higher temperatures.  The material may produce respiratory tract irritation, and result in damage to the lung including reduced lung function.  

CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS

  The principal routes of exposure are by eye/skin contact and  absorption.  The liquid mist or vapour can cause severe eye irritation and  mild skin irritation but is capable of being absorbed in toxic amounts  through skin and mucous membranes.  Symptoms may include headache, nausea, vomiting, wheezing, shortness of  breath and laryngitis.  Ingestion may cause gastro-intestinal irritation with haemorrhage and  congestion of intestines.  Direct contact with eyes may cause pain, conjunctivitis and corneal damage.  Inhalation of high concentrations of vapours (above TLV)  may cause respiratory irritation, narcosis, pneumonitis and kidney and liver  damage, haemolysis of the lungs, congestion of the viscera, haemoglobinuria  (presence of haemoglobin in the urine), and erythrocyte fragility.
