Potential health effects
Eye: Causes eye irritation. Causes redness and pain. Skin: Causes skin irritation. Causes redness and pain. Ingestion: May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Ingestion of large amounts can cause hypocalcemic tetany due to formation of calcium complexes. Exposure may cause kidney injury, muscle cramps, bone-marrow depression, and a generalized allergic reaction. Ingestion of large quantities may cause appreciable systemic toxicity involving blood chemistry changes due to chelation properties. Inhalation: Causes irritation of the mucous membrane and upper respiratory tract. Chronic: May cause reproductive and fetal effects. Laboratory experiments have resulted in mutagenic effects. Chronic exposure may cause kidney damage.
