3. HEALTH HAZARD DATA

Effects of Overexposure:

Ingestion: Low Toxicity if swallowed in small amounts. Swallowing

large amounts can result in gastrointestinal irritation and

Inhalation: Dust may cause irritation to nose and throat, and symptoms may include coughing,

dryness and sore throat. Vapors are unlikely due to physical properties.

Acute Systemic Effects: Dehydration and congestion may occur in internal organs. Hypertonic salt solutions

can produce inflammatory reactions in the gastrointestinal tract. For the major

components: Salt LD50 (rat) =3,000 mg/kg, CaCl

LD50 (rat) = 1,000 mg/kg

Chronic Systemic Effects: Acute effects may be delayed.

4. EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES

Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes; remove contact

lenses. Call a physician if irritation persists.
