Section 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Irritating to eyes and skin.Air sensitive.Light sensitive.Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the air).
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Contact produces irritation, tearing, and burning pain. May cause transient corneal injury.
Skin:
May cause irritation with burning pain, itching and redness.
Ingestion:
Causes gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Inhalation:
Inhalation of a mist of this material may cause respiratory tract irritation.
Chronic:
May cause liver and kidney damage. Prolonged or repeated contact may cause skin necrosis and/or ulceration of the skin.

Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
Skin:
Get medical aid if irritation develops or persists. Wash clothing before reuse. Flush skin with plenty of soap and water.
Ingestion:
If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
