Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from eye and moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the Eye Contact upper and lower lids. Continue flushing until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre or a doctor, or for at least 15 minutes. Transport to hospital or doctor without delay. Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled personnel. If skin or hair contact occurs: Immediately flush body and clothes with large amounts of water, using safety shower if available. Skin Contact Quickly remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear. Wash skin and hair with running water. Continue flushing with water until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre. Transport to hospital, or doctor. If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area. Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested. Inhalation Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed, where possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures. Apply artificial respiration if not breathing, preferably with a demand valve resuscitator, bag-valve mask device, or pocket mask as trained. Perform CPR if necessary. Transport to hospital, or doctor, without delay. Avoid giving milk or oils. Avoid giving alcohol. If spontaneous vomiting appears imminent or occurs, hold patient's head down, lower than their hips to help avoid possible aspiration of vomitus. IMPORTANT: ESTABLISH A FIRST AID PLAN BEFORE WORKING WITH CYANIDES. ANTIDOTES SHOULD BE AVAILABLE ON SITE. Prompt response in an emergency is vital. All workers are to be trained and refresher trained in procedures. Rescuers might need the protection of breathing apparatus where there is the potential of exposure to airborne cyanide. Use the buddy system and avoid becoming a casualty. In all cases of cyanide exposure get medical help urgently after administering first aid. For cyanide poisonings by any route: Contact Poisons Advisory Centre or a doctor. Seek immediate medical attention. Place casualty in coma position. Give oxygen when available. Consider external cardiac compression, mechanical resuscitation and use of antidote kit. If breathing stops mouth-to-mouth resuscitation (also called expired air resuscitation - EAR) may be given only as a last resort. Should such resort prove necessary, first wash the casualty's mouth and lips. A first aid attendant giving EAR must not inhale the expired air of the casualty. US Practice as employed by DuPont:- FIRST AID Swallowed/ Inhaled /Skin Contact If no symptoms, no treatment is necessary; decontaminate patient. If conscious but with symptoms present (nausea, shortness of breath, dizziness) give oxygen. If consciousness is impaired (slurred speech, drowsiness) give oxygen and amyl nitrite. If unconscious but breathing, give oxygen and amyl nitrite by means of a respirator. To give amyl nitrite, break an ampoule in a cloth and Ingestion insert into lip of mask for 15 seconds, then take away for 15 seconds. Repeat 5-6 times. First Aid Supplies for cyanide poisoning should be conveniently placed throughout cyanide areas and should be IMMEDIATELY accessible at all times. They should be routinely inspected (typically daily) by people who would use them in an emergency. The total numbers of any item listed below should be adequate to handle the largest number of exposure cases that can reasonably be anticipated, taking into account that some supplies may be wasted, destroyed or inaccessible during an emergency. Oxygen Resuscitators - The Flynn Series III Model from O-Two Systems has been found satisfactory, being lightweight, rugged and easy to use. Amyl Nitrite Ampoules - One box of one dozen ampoules per station is usually satisfactory. Stations should be located throughout the cyanide area. CAUTION: Amyl nitrite is not stable and must be replaced every 1 to 2 years. Store in the original dated box away from heat. (can be stored with the resuscitator). Avoid storage on vehicles where cabin temperatures can reach 60 deg. C. Storage in high temperature climates may require replacement before the expiry date on the box. Also avoid excessive cold storage which may limit the vapour pressure and reduce its evaporating property. Kits and amyl nitrite should be accessible, but secured against tampering or theft (an increase in the use of nitrite "poppers", as aphrodisiacs, introduces substance abuse concerns). A set of cyanide first aid instructions should be located at each amyl nitrite storage location. Workers should be fully trained since in real emergency situations there will be insufficient time to "read the book". Notes on the use of amyl nitrite:- AN is highly volatile and flammable - do not smoke or use around a source of ignition. If treating patient in a windy or draughty area provide some shelter or protection (shirt, wall, drum, cupped hand etc.) to prevent amyl nitrite vapour from being blown away. Keep ampoule upwind from the nose , the objective is to get amyl nitrite into the patient's lungs. Rescuers should avoid AN inhalation to avoid becoming dizzy and losing competence. Lay the patient down. Since AN dilates blood vessels and lowers blood pressure, lying down will help keep the patient conscious. DO NOT overuse - excessive use might put the patient into shock. Vasodilatory effects of amyl nitrate may promote fatal cardiac arrhythmias (particularly if the patient is not really poisoned by cyanide). the role of amyl nitrate as a competitive inducer of methaemoglobin in the blood stream is highly variable and, alone, may produce levels of methaemoglobin as a low as 5% only. Experience at DuPont plants has not shown any serious after-effects from treatment with amyl nitrite. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed Any material aspirated during vomiting may produce lung injury. Therefore emesis should not be induced mechanically or pharmacologically. Mechanical means should be used if it is considered necessary to evacuate the stomach contents; these include gastric lavage after endotracheal intubation. If spontaneous vomiting has occurred after ingestion, the patient should be monitored for difficult breathing, as adverse effects of aspiration into the lungs may be delayed up to 48 hours. For cyanide intoxication (and for certain nitriles which produce cyanide ion) Continued... Signs symptoms of acute cyanide poisoning reflect cellular hypoxia and are often non-specific. Cyanosis may be a late finding. A bradycardic, hypertensive and tachypneic patient suggests poisoning especially if CNS and cardiovascular depression subsequently occurs. Immediate attention should be directed towards assisted ventilation, administration of 100% oxygen, insertion of intravenous lines and institution of cardiac monitoring. Obtain an arterial blood gas immediately and correct any severe metabolic acidosis (pH below 7.15). Mildly symptomatic patients generally require supportive care alone. Nitrites should not be given indiscriminately - in all cases of moderate to severe poisoning, they should be given in conjunction with thiosulfate. As a temporizing measure supply amyl nitrite perles (0.2ml inhaled 30 seconds every minute) until intravenous lines for sodium nitrite are established. 10 ml of a 3% solution is administered over 4 minutes to produce 20% methaemoglobin in adults. Follow directly with 50 ml of 25% sodium thiosulfate, at the same rate, IV. If symptoms reappear or persist within 1/2-1 hour, repeat nitrite and thiosulfate at 50% of initial dose. As the mode of action involves the metabolic conversion of the thiosulfate to thiocyanate, renal failure may enhance thiocyanate toxicity. Methylene blue is not an antidote. [Ellenhorn and Barceloux: Medical Toxicology] If amyl nitrite intervention is employed then Medical Treatment Kits should contain the following: One box containing one dozen amyl nitrite ampoules Two sterile ampoules of sodium nitrite solution (10 mL of a 3% solution in each) Two sterile ampoules of sodium thiosulfate solution (50 mL of a 25% solution in each) One 10 mL sterile syringe. One 50 mL sterile syringe. Two sterile intravenous needles. One tourniquet. One dozen gauze pads. Latex gloves A "Biohazard" bag for disposal of bloody/contaminated equipment. A set of cyanide instructions on first aid and medical treatment. - Notes on the use of amyl nitrite:- AN is highly volatile and flammable - do not smoke or use around a source of ignition. If treating patient in a windy or draughty area provide some shelter or protection (shirt, wall, drum, cupped hand etc.) to prevent amyl nitrite vapour from being blown away. Keep ampoule upwind from the nose, the objective is to get amyl nitrite into the patients lungs. Rescuers should avoid AN inhalation to avoid becoming dizzy and losing competence. Lay the patient down. Since AN dilates blood vessels and lowers blood pressure, lying down will help keep patient conscious. DO NOT overuse - excessive use might put the patient into shock. Experience at DuPont plants has not shown any serious after-effects from treatment with amyl nitrite. ADDITIONAL NOTES: Major medical treatment procedures may vary e.g. US (FDA method as recommended by DuPont) uses amyl nitrite as a methaemoglobin generator, followed by treatment with sodium nitrite and then sodium thiosulfate. MODES OF ACTION: Amyl nitrite (AN) reacts with haemoglobin (HB) to form about 5% methaemoglobin (MHB). Sodium nitrite (NaNO2) reacts with haemoglobin to form approximately 20-30% methaemoglobin. Methaemoglobin attracts cyanide ions (CN) from tissue and binds with them to become cyanmethaemoglobin (CNMHB). Sodium thiosulfate (Na2S2O3) converts cyanmethaemoglobin to thiocyanate (HSCN) which is excreted by the kidneys. i.e. AN + HB = MHB NaNO2 + HB = MHB CN + MHB = CNMHB Na2S2O3 + CNMHB + O2 = HSCN The administration of the antidote salts is intravenous in normal saline, Ringers lactate or other available IV fluid. European practice may use 4-dimethylaminophenol (DMAP) as a methaemoglobin generator. Also hydroxycobalamin (Vitamin B12a) is used. Hydroxycobalamin works by reacting with cyanide to form cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12) which is excreted in the urine. European and Australian NOHSC (ASCC) propose dicobalt edetate (Kelocyanor) as antidote. This acts by chelating cyanide to form stable cobalticyanide, which is excreted in the urine. In all cases hyperbaric therapy may increase the efficiency of a cyanide antidote kit. SECTION 5 Firefighting measures Extinguishing media Water spray or fog. Foam. Dry chemical powder. BCF (where regulations permit). Carbon dioxide. Special hazards arising from the substrate or mixture Fire Incompatibility Avoid contamination with oxidising agents i.e. nitrates, oxidising acids, chlorine bleaches, pool chlorine etc. as ignition may result Advice for firefighters Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard. May be violently or explosively reactive. Wear full body protective clothing with breathing apparatus. Prevent, by any means available, spillage from entering drains or water course. Consider evacuation (or protect in place). If safe, switch off electrical equipment until vapour fire hazard removed. Fire Fighting Use water delivered as a fine spray to control fire and cool adjacent area. Avoid spraying water onto liquid pools. DO NOT approach containers suspected to be hot. Cool fire exposed containers with water spray from a protected location. If safe to do so, remove containers from path of fire. Equipment should be thoroughly decontaminated after use. Liquid and vapour are highly flammable. Severe fire hazard when exposed to heat, flame and/or oxidisers. Vapour forms an explosive mixture with air. Severe explosion hazard, in the form of vapour, when exposed to flame or spark. Vapour may travel a considerable distance to source of ignition. Heating may cause expansion / decomposition with violent rupture of containers. On combustion, may emit toxic fumes of carbon monoxide (CO) Combustion products include: Fire/Explosion Hazard carbon dioxide (CO2) carbon monoxide (CO) nitrogen oxides (NOx) phosphorus oxides (POx) sulfur oxides (SOx) other pyrolysis products typical of burning organic material. Contains low boiling substance: Closed containers may rupture due to pressure buildup under fire conditions. May emit poisonous fumes. SECTION 6 Accidental release measures Continued... Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures See section 8 Environmental precautions See section 12 Methods and material for containment and cleaning up Environmental hazard - contain spillage. Remove all ignition sources. Clean up all spills immediately. Minor Spills Avoid breathing vapours and contact with skin and eyes. Control personal contact with the substance, by using protective equipment. Contain and absorb small quantities with vermiculite or other absorbent material. Wipe up. Collect residues in a flammable waste container. Environmental hazard - contain spillage. Clear area of personnel and move upwind. Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard. May be violently or explosively reactive. Wear full body protective clothing with breathing apparatus. Prevent, by any means available, spillage from entering drains or water course. Consider evacuation (or protect in place). No smoking, naked lights or ignition sources. Major Spills Increase ventilation. Stop leak if safe to do so. Water spray or fog may be used to disperse vapour. Contain or absorb spill with sand, earth or vermiculite. Use only spark-free shovels and explosion proof equipment. Collect recoverable product into labelled containers for recycling. Collect solid residues and seal in labelled drums for disposal. Wash area and prevent runoff into drains. After clean up operations, decontaminate and launder all protective clothing and equipment before storing and re-using. If contamination of drains or waterways occurs, advise emergency services. Personal Protective Equipment advice is contained in Section 8 of the SDS. SECTION 7 Handling and storage Precautions for safe handling DO NOT allow clothing wet with material to stay in contact with skin Contains low boiling substance: Storage in sealed containers may result in pressure buildup causing violent rupture of containers not rated appropriately. Check for bulging containers. Vent periodically Always release caps or seals slowly to ensure slow dissipation of vapours Avoid all personal contact, including inhalation. Wear protective clothing when risk of exposure occurs. Use in a well-ventilated area. Prevent concentration in hollows and sumps. DO NOT enter confined spaces until atmosphere has been checked. Safe handling DO NOT allow material to contact humans, exposed food or food utensils. Avoid contact with incompatible materials. When handling, DO NOT eat, drink or smoke. Keep containers securely sealed when not in use. Avoid physical damage to containers. Always wash hands with soap and water after handling. Work clothes should be laundered separately. Launder contaminated clothing before re-use. Use good occupational work practice. Observe manufacturer's storage and handling recommendations contained within this SDS. Atmosphere should be regularly checked against established exposure standards to ensure safe working conditions are maintained. Containers, even those that have been emptied, may contain explosive vapours. Do NOT cut, drill, grind, weld or perform similar operations on or near containers. Store in approved flammable liquid storage area. No smoking, naked lights/ignition sources. Keep containers securely sealed. Store away from incompatible materials in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Protect containers against physical damage and check regularly for leaks. Storage areas should be clearly identified, well illuminated, clear of obstruction and accessible only to trained and authorised personnel - adequate security must be provided so that unauthorised personnel do not have access. Store in grounded, properly designed and approved vessels and away from incompatible materials Store according to applicable regulations for flammable materials for storage tanks, containers, piping, buildings, rooms, cabinets, Other information allowable quantities and minimum storage distances. Use non-sparking ventilation systems, approved explosion proof equipment and intrinsically safe electrical systems. Have appropriate extinguishing capability in storage area (e.g. portable fire extinguishers - dry chemical, foam or carbon dioxide) and flammable gas detectors. Keep adsorbents for leaks and spills readily available For bulk storages, consider use of floating roof or nitrogen blanketed vessels; where venting to atmosphere is possible, equip storage tank vents with flame arrestors; inspect tank vents during winter conditions for vapour/ ice build-up; storage tanks should be above ground and diked to hold entire contents. Observe manufacturer's storage and handling recommendations contained within this SDS. Rotate all stock to prevent ageing. Use on FIFO (First In-First Out) basis Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities Suitable container Cylinder. DO NOT repack. Use only containers as originally supplied by manufacturer Packaging as recommended by manufacturer. Check that containers are clearly labelled and free from leaks Continued... For low viscosity materials Drums and jerricans must be of the non-removable head type. Where a can is to be used as an inner package, the can must have a screwed enclosure. For materials with a viscosity of at least 2680 cSt. (23 deg. C) and solids (between 15 C deg. and 40 deg C.): Removable head packaging; Cans with friction closures and low pressure tubes and cartridges may be used. - Where combination packages are used, and the inner packages are of glass, there must be sufficient inert cushioning material in contact with inner and outer packages *. - In addition, where inner packagings are glass and contain liquids of packing group I and II there must be sufficient inert absorbent to absorb any spillage *. - * unless the outer packaging is a close fitting moulded plastic box and the substances are not incompatible with the plastic. All inner and sole packagings for substances that have been assigned to Packaging Groups I or II on the basis of inhalation toxicity criteria, must be hermetically sealed. Hydrogen cyanide: can be self-reactive, forming an explosive mixture with air (flash point -18 C.) unless inhibited, material stored more than 90 days may be hazardous when heated above 180 C. or in contact with alkalis or amines can polymerise explosively reacts violently with strong oxidisers, acetaldehyde solutions containing more than 2-5% water are less stable than dry material in combination with strong oxidising acids can produce explosive violent decomposition Storage incompatibility acid solutions react with ammonia, ferric oxide, halogens, ozone attacks some plastics, rubber and coatings aqueous solutions attack carbon steels at room temperatures and stainless steels (especially if stabilised with sulfuric acid) above 80 C.

Well-designed engineering controls controls can be highly effective in protecting workers and will typically be independent of worker interactions to provide this high level of protection. The basic types of engineering controls are: Process controls which involve changing the way a job activity or process is done to reduce the risk. Enclosure and/or isolation of emission source which keeps a selected hazard "physically" away from the worker and ventilation that strategically "adds" and "removes" air in the work environment. Ventilation can remove or dilute an air contaminant if designed properly. The design of a ventilation system must match the particular process and chemical or contaminant in use. Employers may need to use multiple types of controls to prevent employee overexposure. Local exhaust ventilation usually required. If risk of overexposure exists, wear approved respirator. Correct fit is essential to obtain adequate protection. Supplied-air type respirator may be required in special circumstances. Correct fit is essential to ensure adequate protection. An approved self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) may be required in some situations. Provide adequate ventilation in warehouse or closed storage area. Air contaminants generated in the workplace possess varying "escape" velocities which, in turn, determine the "capture velocities" of fresh circulating air required to effectively remove the contaminant. Type of Contaminant: Air Speed: solvent, vapours, degreasing etc., evaporating from tank (in still air). 0.25-0.5 m/s (50- 100 f/min.) aerosols, fumes from pouring operations, intermittent container filling, low speed conveyer transfers, welding, 0.5-1 m/s (100- spray drift, plating acid fumes, pickling (released at low velocity into zone of active generation) 200 f/min.) Continued... direct spray, spray painting in shallow booths, drum filling, conveyer loading, crusher dusts, gas discharge (active 1-2.5 m/s (200- generation into zone of rapid air motion) 500 f/min.) grinding, abrasive blasting, tumbling, high speed wheel generated dusts (released at high initial velocity into zone 2.5-10 m/s (500- of very high rapid air motion). 2000 f/min.) Within each range the appropriate value depends on: Lower end of the range Upper end of the range 1: Room air currents minimal or favourable to capture 1: Disturbing room air currents 2: Contaminants of low toxicity or of nuisance value only. 2: Contaminants of high toxicity 3: Intermittent, low production. 3: High production, heavy use 4: Large hood or large air mass in motion 4: Small hood-local control only Simple theory shows that air velocity falls rapidly with distance away from the opening of a simple extraction pipe. Velocity generally decreases with the square of distance from the extraction point (in simple cases). Therefore the air speed at the extraction point should be adjusted, accordingly, after reference to distance from the contaminating source. The air velocity at the extraction fan, for example, should be a minimum of 1-2 m/s (200-400 f/min) for extraction of solvents generated in a tank 2 meters distant from the extraction point. Other mechanical considerations, producing performance deficits within the extraction apparatus, make it essential that theoretical air velocities are multiplied by factors of 10 or more when extraction systems are installed or used. Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment Safety glasses with unperforated side shields may be used where continuous eye protection is desirable, as in laboratories; spectacles are not sufficient where complete eye protection is needed such as when handling bulk-quantities, where there is a danger of splashing, or if the material may be under pressure. Chemical goggles. Whenever there is a danger of the material coming in contact with the eyes; goggles must be properly fitted. [AS/NZS 1337.1, EN166 or national equivalent] Full face shield (20 cm, 8 in minimum) may be required for supplementary but never for primary protection of eyes; these afford face protection. Eye and face protection Alternatively a gas mask may replace splash goggles and face shields. Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate irritants. A written policy document, describing the wearing of lenses or restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This should include a review of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an account of injury experience. Medical and first-aid personnel should be trained in their removal and suitable equipment should be readily available. In the event of chemical exposure, begin eye irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens should be removed at the first signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be removed in a clean environment only after workers have washed hands thoroughly. [CDC NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59]. Skin protection See Hand protection below Neoprene rubber gloves Insulated gloves: Hands/feet protection NOTE: Insulated gloves should be loose fitting so that may be removed quickly if liquid is spilled upon them. Insulated gloves are not made to permit hands to be placed in the liquid; they provide only short-term protection from accidental contact with the liquid. Body protection See Other protection below Overalls. Eyewash unit. Barrier cream. Skin cleansing cream. Some plastic personal protective equipment (PPE) (e.g. gloves, aprons, overshoes) are not recommended as they may produce static Other protection electricity. For large scale or continuous use wear tight-weave non-static clothing (no metallic fasteners, cuffs or pockets). Non sparking safety or conductive footwear should be considered. Conductive footwear describes a boot or shoe with a sole made from a conductive compound chemically bound to the bottom components, for permanent control to electrically ground the foot an shall dissipate static electricity from the body to reduce the possibility of ignition of volatile compounds. Electrical resistance must range between 0 to 500,000 ohms. Conductive shoes should be stored in lockers close to the room in which they are worn. Personnel who have been issued conductive footwear should not wear them from their place of work to their homes and return.

Hazardous decomposition See section 5 products SECTION 11 Toxicological information Information on toxicological effects Inhalation of vapours or aerosols (mists, fumes), generated by the material during the course of normal handling, may produce severely toxic effects; these may be fatal. There is strong evidence to suggest that this material can cause, if inhaled once, very serious, irreversible damage of organs. The material can cause respiratory irritation in some persons. The body's response to such irritation can cause further lung damage. Inhaled Effects and symptoms caused by hydrogen cyanide depends on the intensity and duration of exposure. Short term inhalation of 20-40 ppm hydrogen cyanide may result in slight symptoms, while 270 ppm can be fatal in one minute. Material is highly volatile and may quickly form a concentrated atmosphere in confined or unventilated areas. The vapour may displace and replace air in breathing zone, acting as a simple asphyxiant. This may happen with little warning of overexposure. The use of a quantity of material in an unventilated or confined space may result in increased exposure and an irritating atmosphere developing. Before starting consider control of exposure by mechanical ventilation. There is strong evidence to suggest that this material can cause, if swallowed once, very serious, irreversible damage of organs. Swallowing of the liquid may cause aspiration into the lungs with the risk of chemical pneumonitis; serious consequences may result. (ICSC13733) Ingestion Severely toxic effects may result from the accidental ingestion of the material; animal experiments indicate that ingestion of less than 5 gram may be fatal or may produce serious damage to the health of the individual. Cyanide poisoning can cause increased saliva output, nausea without vomiting, anxiety, confusion, vertigo, dizziness, stiffness of the lower jaw, convulsions, spasm, paralysis, coma and irregular heartbeat, and stimulation of breathing followed by failure. Often the skin becomes cyanosed (blue-grey), and this is often delayed. This material can cause inflammation of the skin on contact in some persons. There is strong evidence to suggest that this material, on a single contact with skin, can cause very serious, irreversible damage of organs. The material may accentuate any pre-existing dermatitis condition Skin Contact Open cuts, abraded or irritated skin should not be exposed to this material Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions, may produce systemic injury with harmful effects. Examine the skin prior to the use of the material and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected. Skin contact with the material may produce severely toxic effects; systemic effects may result following absorption and these may be fatal. Eye This material can cause eye irritation and damage in some persons. Long-term exposure to respiratory irritants may result in airways disease, involving difficulty breathing and related whole-body problems. Toxic: danger of serious damage to health by prolonged exposure through inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed. This material can cause serious damage if one is exposed to it for long periods. It can be assumed that it contains a substance which can produce severe defects. Ample evidence from experiments exists that there is a suspicion this material directly reduces fertility. Chronic Based on experience with animal studies, exposure to the material may result in toxic effects to the development of the foetus, at levels which do not cause significant toxic effects to the mother. Substance accumulation, in the human body, may occur and may cause some concern following repeated or long-term occupational exposure. Chronic exposure to cyanides and certain nitriles may result in interference to iodine uptake by thyroid gland and its consequent enlargement. This occurs following metabolic conversion of the cyanide moiety to thiocyanate.

Unless otherwise specified data extracted from RTECS - Register of Toxic Effect of chemical Substances 400-500 ppm - immediately dangerous to life. NOTE: Aggravates chronic pulmonary disease and increases the risk of acute and chronic SULFUR DIOXIDE respiratory disease - condition aggravated by smoking. The material may be irritating to the eye, with prolonged contact causing inflammation. Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce conjunctivitis. PHOSPHORIC ACID phosphoric acid ( 85%) No significant acute toxicological data identified in literature search. For acid mists, aerosols, vapours Test results suggest that eukaryotic cells are susceptible to genetic damage when the pH falls to about 6.5. Cells from the respiratory tract have not been examined in this respect. Mucous secretion may protect the cells of the airway from direct exposure to inhaled acidic mists (which also protects the stomach lining from the hydrochloric acid secreted there). The material may produce severe irritation to the eye causing pronounced inflammation. Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce conjunctivitis. Continued... The material may cause severe skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and may produce on contact skin redness, swelling, the production of vesicles, scaling and thickening of the skin. Repeated exposures may produce severe ulceration. Asthma-like symptoms may continue for months or even years after exposure to the material ends. This may be due to a non-allergic condition known as reactive airways dysfunction syndrome (RADS) which can occur after exposure to high levels of highly irritating compound. Main criteria for diagnosing RADS include the absence of previous airways disease in a non-atopic individual, with sudden onset of persistent asthma-like symptoms within minutes to hours of a documented exposure to the irritant. Other criteria for diagnosis of RADS SULFUR DIOXIDE & include a reversible airflow pattern on lung function tests, moderate to severe bronchial hyperreactivity on methacholine challenge testing, PHOSPHORIC ACID and the lack of minimal lymphocytic inflammation, without eosinophilia. RADS (or asthma) following an irritating inhalation is an infrequent disorder with rates related to the concentration of and duration of exposure to the irritating substance. On the other hand, industrial bronchitis is a disorder that occurs as a result of exposure due to high concentrations of irritating substance (often particles) and is completely reversible after exposure ceases. The disorder is characterized by difficulty breathing, cough and mucus production.
