EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Toxic by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed. Causes burns. May cause sensitization by skin contact. May cause cancer.Light sensitive.Moisture sensitive.The toxicological properties of this material have not been fully investigated.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation. Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause conjunctivitis.
Skin:
May cause skin irritation. Prolonged and/or repeated contact may cause irritation and/or dermatitis. Prolonged absorption may produce gastrointestinal tract disturbances. Prolonged absorption may produce nervous system disturbances.
Ingestion:
May cause irritation of the digestive tract. The toxicological properties of this substance have not been fully investigated.
Ingestion of thiocyanates have cause disorientation, weakness, low blo od pressure, confusion, psychotic behavior, muscular spasms, convulsio ns and death.
Inhalation:
May cause respiratory tract irritation.
Chronic:
Thiocyanates used in drug therapy have caused nervous system effects such as fine motor weakness of the arms and legs.
