EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Toxic if swallowed. Causes burns. May cause sensitization by inhalation and skin contact.Corrosive.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause irreversible eye injury. Contact with liquid is corrosive to the eyes and causes severe burns.
Skin:
Contact with liquid is corrosive and causes severe burns and ulceration.
Ingestion:
Causes severe digestive tract burns with abdominal pain, vomiting, and possible death. May cause corrosion and permanent tissue destruction of the esophagus and digestive tract.
Inhalation:
May cause pulmonary edema and severe respiratory disturbances.
Chronic:
Prolonged inhalation may cause respiratory tract inflammation and lung damage.

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 immediately.
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Ingestion:
Do NOT induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Get medical aid immediately.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Notes to Physician:
