2.3 Other hazards
Exposure may aggravate those with pre-existing eye, skin, or respiratory conditions. Exposure of nitrites via ingestion that result in endogenous nitrosation are classified by IARC as a Group 2A - probable human carcinogen. This product is not anticipated to be available for oral exposure which would result in endogenous nitrosation under normal conditions of use or foreseeable emergencies, and is therefore not classified as a carcinogen. Ingestion may cause methemoglobinemia. Initial manifestation of methemoglobinemia is cyanosis, characterized by navy lips, tongue and mucous membranes, with skin color being slate grey. Further manifestation is characterized by headache, weakness, dyspnea, dizziness, stupor, respiratory distress and death due to anoxia. Signs and symptoms of nitrite poisoning include methemoglobinemia, nausea, dizziness, increased heart rate, hypotension, fainting and, possibly shock. Unknown acute toxicity No data available
