SECTION 2: Hazards identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW this product can cause Low hazard for usual industrial or commercial handling. At elevated temperatures

Potential health effects

Section. Can decompose at high temperatures forming toxic thermal burns. See "Other gases. Contents may develop pressure on prolonged exposure to heat. Inhalation membranes, coughing and difficulty in Contact with mist or spray may cause irritation of mucous breathing. At elevated temperatures this product can cause thermal burns. Skin Contact under the finger nails, under This product is non-irritating upon contact. Prolonged, confined (especially repeated exposure may cause skin-irritation. At elevated temperatures this rings or watch bands) or product can cause thermal burns. Skin Absorption Not likely to be absorbed through the skin. Eye Contact Splashes to the eye may cause irritation, redness and pain: At elevated temperatures this product-can cause thermal burns. Ingestion This product may cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort. Ingestion of large amounts may cause nausea, gastrointestinal upset and abdominal pain.

Other Health Effects

Effects (irritancy) on the -skin and eyes may be delayed, and damage may occur without the sensation or onset of pain. Strict adherence to first aid measures following any:exposure is essential. May cause central nervous system (CNS) depression, liver damage, kidney damage and hypoglycemia. CNS depression is characterized by headache, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, vomiting-and incoordination. Severe overexposures may lead to coma and possible death due to respiratory failure. Liver damage is characterized by the loss of appetite, jaundice (yellowish skin colour), and occasional pain in the upper left-hand side of the abdomen. Signs and symptoms of kidney damage generally progress from oliguria, to blood in the urine, to total renal failure. Hypoglycemia is defined as an abnormally low concentration of glucose.in the circulating blood. Propylene Glycol: Ingestion of Propylene Glycol by persons with renal impairment may cause lactic acidosis, hyperosmolality, central nervous system depression (CNS) and haemolysis. Dipotassium Hydrogen Phosphate: All phosphate salts, except calcium salts, have a hypothetical-risk of hypocalcemia. Potassium salts have a potential risk of hyperkalemia which can. cause cardiac arrhythmia. Since phosphates are slowly and incompletely absorbed in the. gut, systemic reactions are unlikely when these salts are swallowed. Polyphosphates are thought to be hydrolyzed to orthophosphates before absorption, which.may induce a metabolic.acidosis. If appreciable amounts of the intact polymer are absorbed from the alimentary tract, hypocalcemic tetany (muscular contraction, pains, tingling, etc., caused by a deficiency of calcium salts) may be a danger due to the binding of ionized calcium.
