Principle Routes of Exposure
Ingestion, skin/eye contact, inhalation Human Effects and Symptoms of Overexposure: Acute Inhalation: Irritation of the respiratory tract. Chronic Inhalation: No applicable information found for chronic systemic effects Acute Skin Contact: Large amounts can cause irritation and if applied to damaged skin, absorption can occur with effects similar to those via ingestion. Chronic Skin Contact: No applicable information found for chronic systemic effects. Acute Eye Contact: Irritation with burning and tearing (salt concentrations greater than the normal saline present). Chronic Eye Contact: No applicable information found for chronic systemic effects. Acute Ingestion Intake of large amounts has generally occurred for deliberate reasons suicide, absorption, and to induce vomiting. The following effects were observed; nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, cramps, restlessness, irritability, dehydration, water retention, nose bleed, gastrointestinal tract damage, fever, sweating, sunken eyes, high blood pressure, muscle weakness, dry mouth and nose, shock, cerebral (fluid on brain) or pulmonary edema (fluid in lungs), blood cell shrinkage, and brain damage (due to dehydration of brain cells). Death is generally due to cardiovascular collapse or CNS damage. Less than a few grams would not be harmful. For larger quantities, drink large amounts of water or milk. Chronic Ingestion: No applicable information found for chronic systemic effects. Carcinogenicity NTP: Not listed as a carcinogen or mutagen. IARC: Not listed as a carcinogen or mutagen.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure
In some cases of confirmed hypertension, ingestion may result in elevated blood pressure.
