Primary Routes(s) of Entry
--------------------------
Ingestion; inhalation.
Eye Hazards
-----------
Eye contact with these products in finely-divided forms may cause irritation,
conjunctivitis, ulceration of the cornea, and/or argyria, a permanent gray
discoloration of the eyes, skin, mucous membranes, and respiratory tract.
Skin Hazards
------------
Skin contact with these products in finely-divided forms may cause
irritation, argyria, discoloration, and/or contact dermatitis.
Ingestion Hazards
-----------------
Ingestion of these products may cause nausea, vomiting, and gastrointestinal
irritation.
Inhalation Hazards
------------------
Inhalation of toxicologically-significant quantities of the components is
unlikely when the product is used in accordance with instructions and
specified protective measures (see Section #8). When phosphorus is
overheated in air, it is converted to phosphorus pentoxide, which is
corrosive and irritating to eyes, nose, throat, and mucous membranes.
Symptoms Related to Overexposure
--------------------------------
Pre-existing pulmonary diseases (e.g., bronchitis, asthma) may be aggravated
by inhalation overexposure, particularly as fume.
Delayed Effects from Long Term Overexposure
-------------------------------------------
Chronic overexposure by inhalation and/or ingestion may aggravate pre-
existing diseases of the liver, kidneys, and gastrointestinal system.
Carcinogenicity
---------------
The product contains no chemicals classified as potential or demonstrated
carcinogens by IARC, NTP, or OSHA.
