Potential health effects
Eye: May cause irreversible eye injury. Contact with liquid is corrosive to the eyes and causes severe burns. Skin: Contact with liquid is corrosive and causes severe burns and ulceration. The severity of injury depends on the concentration of the solution and the duration of exposure. Ingestion: Causes gastrointestinal tract burns. May cause corrosion and permanent tissue destruction of the esophagus and digestive tract. Inhalation: Causes chemical burns to the respiratory tract. Because its vapor pressure is negligible, it exists in the air only as a mist or spray. Chronic: Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis.
