Chronic Toxicity
Chronic Toxicity
Avoid repeated exposure. Possible risks of irreversible effects. Chronic exposure to corrosive
fumes/gases may cause erosion of the teeth followed by jaw necrosis. Bronchial irritation with
chronic cough and frequent attacks of pneumonia are common. Gastrointestinal disturbances
may also be seen. May cause adverse effects on the bone marrow and blood-forming system.
Contains a known or suspected carcinogen Contains a known or suspected reproductive toxin.
