SECTION 2: Hazards identification

OSHA *** Emergency Overview ***: Flammable liquid. Harmful by inhalation, in contact with skin, and if swallowed. May cause burns to the eyes and skin. Contact with eyes or skin causes irritation. Effects Of Overexposure - Eye Contact: Exposure to liquid, aerosol, or vapors may cause irritation, tearing, redness, and swelling accompanied by a stinging sensation. Contact with eyes may cause irritation. Effects Of Overexposure - Skin Contact: Direct skin contact may cause irritation. Symptoms may include drying and cracking of skin, swelling, redness, rash, burning, and skin burns. Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis, drying, and defatting due to the solvent properties. May cause allergic skin reaction. May cause severe skin irritation. Direct contact of strontium chromate with the skin may cause irritation, corrrosion, forming ulcers with hard edges which heal slowly. Effects Of Overexposure - Inhalation: Inhalation may cause irritation to the respiratory tract (nose, mouth, mucous membranes) & acute nervous system depression characterized by the following progressive steps: headache, nausea, weakness, dizziness, staggering gait, confusion, fatigue, drowsiness, unconsciousness, or coma. Exposure may cause difficult breathing, shortness of breath, or coughing. Lung inflammation or other lung injury may occur if secondary butyl alcohol enters the lungs through vomiting or swallowing. Acute toxicity (30 mg/m3) of strontium chromate, a component of this formulation, may cause dispnea, a sore throat, labored breathing, or coughing. Exposure to highe concentrations may cause delayed pulmonary edema, depression, or damage to deep lung tissue. Repeated or prolonged exposure to chromates may cause nasal irritation from rhinitis to painless ulceration of the mouth and nose mucous membranes with bleeding and perforation of the nasal septum and a foul smelling nasal discharge. Hepatitis, with or without jaundice, gastritis, ulcers of the stomach and intestine, nausea, vomiting, anorexia fatigye, lassitude rheumatic pain, and liver and kidney damage are possible. Effects Of Overexposure - Ingestion: May result in irritation and possible corrosive action in the mouth, stomach tissue and digestive tract. Vomiting may cause aspiration of the solvent, resulting in chemical pneumonitis. May cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Extended exposure to chromates have caused leucocytosis, leukopenia, monocytosis, oesinophilia, and other blood changes. Effects Of Overexposure - Chronic Hazards: Prolonged contact will cause drying and cracking of the skin, due to defatting action. Skin sensitization, asthma, or other allergic responses may develop. Listed as a Carcinogen NTP? Yes, IARC Monographs? Yes, OSHA Regulated? Yes. Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause damage to liver and kidneys. Repeated and prolonged exposure may cause delayed effects involving the blood, gastrointestinal, nervous, and reproductive systems. STRONTIUM CHROMATE IS CLASSIFIED AS NTP GROUP 1 KNOWN CARCINOGEN. WARNING: This product contains a chemical (carbon black) known to the state of California to cause cancer as airborne, unbound particles of respirable size. Exposure may cause mild, temporary changes in the liver, and low blood pressure. In animal studies, exposure to a component(s) has been shown to cause damage to the fetus, only at a level of exposure that would also harm the pregnant animal. The relevance of these findings to humans is unknown. STRONTIUM CHROMATE IS CLASSIFIED IARC GROUP 1: CARCINOGENIC TO HUMANS. STRONTIUM CHROMATE, CAS 7789-06-2, IS ON REACH SVHC CANDIDATE LIST. PRODUCT CONTAINS TITANIUM DIOXIDE PIGMENT, WHICH HAS AN IARC CLASSIFICATION OF 2B POSSIBLY CARCINOGENIC TO HUMANS.
