Section 3: Hazards Identification

Potential Acute Health Effects:

Hazardous in case of eye contact (irritant), of inhalation (lung irritant). Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant,

sensitizer), of ingestion. The amount of tissue damage depends on length of contact. Eye contact can result in corneal

damage or blindness. Skin contact can produce inflammation and blistering. Severe over-exposure can produce lung damage,

choking, unconsciousness or death.

Potential Chronic Health Effects:

Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (sensitizer). CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available. MUTAGENIC EFFECTS:

Not available. TERATOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available. DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Not available. The substance may

be toxic to teeth. Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage. Repeated exposure

of the eyes to a low level of dust can produce eye irritation. Repeated skin exposure can produce local skin destruction, or

dermatitis. Repeated inhalation of dust can produce varying degree of respiratory irritation or lung damage.

Large Spill: Stop leak if without risk. Do not get water inside container. Do not touch spilled material. Use water spray to reduce vapors. Prevent entry into sewers, basements or confined areas; dike if needed. Eliminate all ignition sources. Call for assistance on disposal. Neutralize the residue with a dilute solution of sodium carbonate. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and allow to evacuate through the sanitary system.
