EAGLE ONE CHROME & WIRE WHEEL CLEANER

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Emergency Overview Appearance: liquid DANGER! MAY BE HARMFUL. MAY CAUSE SEVERE BURNS OF RESPIRATORY AND DIGESTIVE TRACTS. BURNS MAY NOT BE IMMEDIATELY PAINFUL OR VISIBLE.DEEP TISSUE INJURY AND BONE DAMAGE IS POSSIBLE FROM SKIN CONTACT. CAUSES SEVERE BURNS OF THE EYES AND SKIN.

Principle Routes of Exposure

Inhalation, Skin absorption, Skin contact, Eye Contact, Ingestion Eye contact Can cause permanent eye injury. Symptoms include stinging, tearing, redness, and swelling of eyes. Can injure the cornea and cause blindness. Skin contact Can cause permanent skin damage. Symptoms may include redness, burning, and swelling of skin, burns, and other skin damage. Exposure can cause severe irritation and fluoride-like burns which may not be immediately evident. Page 1 / 16 Ingestion Swallowing this material may be harmful or fatal. Symptoms may include severe stomach and intestinal irritation (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea), abdominal pain, and vomiting of blood. Swallowing this material may cause burns and destroy tissue in the mouth, throat, and digestive tract. Low blood pressure and shock may occur as a result of severe tissue injury. Inhalation Breathing aerosol and/or mist is possible when material is sprayed. Aerosol and mist may present a greater risk of injury because more material may be present in the air than from vapor alone. Breathing this material may be harmful or fatal. Symptoms may include severe irritation and burns to the nose, throat, and respiratory tract. Symptoms are not expected at air concentrations below the recommended exposure limits, if applicable (see Section 8.).

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

Preexisting disorders of the following organs (or organ systems) may be aggravated by exposure to this material:, lung (for example, asthma-like conditions), kidney, cardiovascular system, Upper respiratory tract, skin, Liver, Central nervous system, bone, Individuals with preexisting heart disorders maybe more susceptible to arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats) if exposed to high concentrations of this material., Exposure to this material may aggravate any preexisting condition sensitive to a decrease in available oxygen, such as chronic lung disease, coronary artery disease or anemias. Symptoms Signs and symptoms of exposure to this material through breathing, swallowing, and/or passage of the material through the skin may include:, Fever, stomach or intestinal upset (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea), irritation (nose, throat, airways), Cough, cough, sneezing, choking, Headache, Shortness of breath, Difficulty in breathing, irregular heartbeat, cyanosis (causes blue coloring of the skin and nails from lack of oxygen), lung edema (fluid buildup in the lung tissue), acute kidney failure (sudden slowing or stopping of urine production), damage to the mouth, throat, and/or airways, coma Target Organs Repeated, prolonged overexposure to inorganic fluoride compounds may result in gastrointestinal disturbances, loss of weight, anemia (reduced number of red blood cells), diseases of the teeth,and skeletal fluorosis. Skeletal fluorosis is characterized by bone and joint pain, limited motion in the joints or spine, increased bone density which can cause the bones to become brittle, and hardening of ligaments., Overexposure to this material (or its components) has been suggested as a cause of the following effects in laboratory animals:, nervous system effects, blood abnormalities, liver abnormalities, kidney damage, Overexposure to this material (or its components) has been suggested as a cause of the following effects in humans:, damage to tooth enamel, cardiovascular effects, effects on lung function, respiratory tract damage (nose, throat, and airways), kidney damage Page 2/16 Carcinogenicity This product contains sulfuric acid. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and the National Toxicology Program (NTP) have listed strong-inorganic-acid mists containing sulfuric acid as causing cancer in humans. Reproductive hazard Inhalation of sulfuric acid fumes was not harmful to the fetus in laboratory animal studies even at levels that caused some harm to the pregnant animals., This material (or a component) has been shown to cause harm to the fetus in laboratory animal studies. Harm to the fetus occurs only at exposure levels that harm the pregnant animal. The relevance of these findings to humans is uncertain.

Further information

Hydrofluoric acid has been shown to cause permanent changes in the DNA of insect germ cells. Changes in these cells can be passed to the next generation. The relevance of this finding to human health is uncertain.
