SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Edetic Acid: Warning! Causes respiratory tract irritation. Causes eye and skin irritation. May cause kidney damage. May cause reproductive and fetal effects. Target Organs: Kidneys, eyes, skin.

Potential health effects

Eye: Causes eye irritation. Causes redness and pain. Skin: Causes skin irritation. Causes redness and pain. Ingestion: May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Ingestion of large amounts can cause hypocalcemic tetany due to formation of calcium complexes. Exposure may cause kidney injury, muscle cramps, bone-marrow depression, and a generalized allergic reaction. Ingestion of large quantities may cause appreciable systemic toxicity involving blood chemistry changes due to chelation properties. Inhalation: Causes irritation of the mucous membrane and upper respiratory tract. Chronic: May cause reproductive and fetal effects. Laboratory experiments have resulted in mutagenic effects. Chronic exposure may cause kidney damage. Guanidine Thiocyanate: WARNING! HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED OR INHALED. CAUSES IRRITATION TO SKIN, EYES AND RESPIRATORY TRACT. Health Rating: 2 - Moderate (Life) Flammability Rating: 1 - Slight Reactivity Rating: 1 - Slight Contact Rating: 2 - Moderate Lab Protective Equip: GOGGLES; LAB COAT; VENT HOOD; PROPER GLOVES Inhalation: Causes irritation to the respiratory tract. Symptoms may include coughing, shortness of breath. Ingestion: May cause psychosis, vomiting, disorientation, weakness, low blood pressure, convulsions and death which may be delayed. The probable lethal dose is between 15-30 grams. Skin Contact: Causes irritation to skin. Symptoms include redness, itching, and pain. Eye Contact: Causes irritation, redness, and pain. Chronic Exposure: Prolonged or repeated skin exposure may cause dermatitis. Repeated ingestion of small amounts may cause weakness, confusion, central nervous system effects, nausea and skin eruptions. Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate: WARNING! HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED OR INHALED. CAUSES IRRITATION TO SKIN, EYES AND RESPIRATORY TRACT. MAY CAUSE ALLERGIC SKIN OR RESPIRATORY REACTION. FLAMMABLE SOLID. Health Rating: 1 - Slight Flammability Rating: 3 - Severe (Flammable) Reactivity Rating: 1 - Slight Contact Rating: 3 - Severe (Life) Lab Protective Equip: GOGGLES & SHIELD; LAB COAT & APRON; VENT HOOD; PROPER GLOVES Inhalation: Causes irritation to the respiratory tract. Symptoms may include coughing, shortness of breath. May cause allergic reaction in sensitive individuals. Ingestion: Large doses may cause gastrointestinal distress, nausea and diarrhea. Skin Contact: Mildly irritating to skin, causes dryness and a rash on continued exposure. May cause allergic skin reactions. Eye Contact: Causes irritation, redness, and pain. Chronic Exposure: Chronic exposure may cause skin effects. Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: Persons with pre-existing skin disorders or impaired respiratory function may be more susceptible to the effects of the substance. Guanidine Hydrochloride: WARNING! CAUSES IRRITATION TO SKIN, EYES AND RESPIRATORY TRACT. HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED OR INHALED. Health Rating: 2 - Moderate Flammability Rating: 1 - Slight Reactivity Rating: 0 - None Contact Rating: 2 - Moderate Lab Protective Equip: GOGGLES; LAB COAT; VENT HOOD; PROPER GLOVES Inhalation: Causes irritation to the respiratory tract. Symptoms may include coughing, shortness of breath. Ingestion: Toxic. May cause neurological disturbances. Causes irritation to the gastrointestinal tract. Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Skin Contact: Causes irritation to skin. Symptoms include redness, itching, and pain. Eye Contact: Causes irritation, redness, and pain.
