Section 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
The toxicological properties of this material have not been fully investigated.Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the air).
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Dust may cause mechanical irritation. May cause conjunctivitis.
Skin:
May cause skin irritation.
Ingestion:
The toxicological properties of this substance have not been fully investigated.
Inhalation:
May cause respiratory tract irritation. Inhalation of dust may cause respiratory tract irritation. Exposure may result in laryngitis, pharyngitis, impaired sense of smell and taste, bleeding from nose, and reactions of trachea, and bronchial membranes.
Chronic:
Inhalation of dust may cause chronic rhinitis (inflammation of the mucous membrane of the nose).
