SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Emergency Overview ------------------ CAUTION! MAY BE HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED.

Potential health effects

Inhalation: Not expected to be a health hazard. Ingestion: Borates, and to a lesser degree Phosphates are slowly absorbed when ingested, and may result in systemic effects. Such effects, however, have occurred. Symptoms may include vomiting, lethargy, diarrhea, blood chemistry effects, cardiac effects and central nervous system effects. The toxicity of phosphates is because of their ability to sequester calcium. Acute potassium intoxication by mouth is rare because large single doses usually induce vomiting and because in the absence of pre-existing kidney damage, potassium is rapidly excreted. Potassium poisoning can result in heart effects, change in respiration rate, tingling in the extremities, heaviness in the limbs, nausea and diarrhea. Skin Contact: No adverse effects expected. Eye Contact: No adverse effects expected. Chronic Exposure: May sequester calcium and cause calcium phosphate deposits in the kidneys. Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: Persons with impaired kidney function may be more susceptible to the effects of the substance.
