Product Line SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES (Continued) 4.2 MOST IMPORTANT ACUTE AND CHRONIC EXPOSURE SYMPTOMS ACUTE CONfACT WITH SKIN or EYES Contact causes eye irritation and may also be irritating to the skin. Eye contact can cause redness, pain, and tearing and tissue damage. Skin contact may result in redness and initation. Prolonged or repeated skin contact may result in severe initation, redness, or dermatitis. SKIN ABSORPTION: No component of this product is reported to be absorbed through intact skin. INGESTION: lf the product is swallowed, initation of the mouth, throat, and other tissues of the gastro-intestinal system will occur. lngestion of large amounts can cause severe initation, pain, vomiting, and diarrhea and may damage tissues of the digestive system. Ingestion of large volumes may be fatal. Borates (e.9., Borax/ Sodium Tetraborate, compor{ents of this product) can cause severe, adverse effects if swallowed in large quantities. Swallowing this product can cause gastric disturbances, electrolyte imbalances, and potentially cyanosis (a bluish discoloration of the skin due to deficient oxygenation of the blood). Borate poisoning begins with nausea, vomiting, and dianhea. There is a red rash followed by exfoliation of rash area and mucous membranes. Kidney injury and central neryous system effects have 6een observed in cases of severe adult and pediatric exposure cases. INHALATION: lnhalation of this product causes initation to the respiratory tract. Symptoms of such exposure can cause coughing, wheezing, and inflammation of the tissues of the nose, throat, and other respiratory system organs. CHRONIC: Borates (e.9., Borax/Sodium Tetraborate, components of this product) can cause severe, adverse effects if swallowed in large quantities. Swallowing this product can cause gastric disturbances, electrolyte imbalances, and potentially cyanosis (a bluish discoloration of the skin due to deficient oxygenation of the blood). Borate poisoning begins with nausea, vomiting, and dianhea. There is a red rash followed by exfoliation of rash area and mucous membranes. Kidney injury and central nervous system effects have been observed in cases of severe adult and pediatric exposures. TARGET ORGANS: Acute eyes, skin. Chronic Reproductive sptem. - 4.3 INDICATION OF IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION AND SPECIAL TREATMENT NEEDED o RECOMMENDATIONS TO PHYSICIANS: Treat symptoms and eliminate exposure. MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY OVEREXPOSURE: Disorders associated with the target O organs may be aggravated after either acute or chronic exposures.

INGESTION: Although not anticipated to be a significant route of occupational over exposures, ingestion of this product may cause gastrointestinal problems and other health effects. CHRONIC TOXICITY: o CARCINOGENICITY STATUS: Not established. o REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY INFORMATION: The components of this product are not reported to cause reproductive effects under typical circumstances of exposure associated with use of the product as directed. The following data are available, in terms or reproductive toxicity effects: . BORAX: Animal feeding studies in rat, mouse and dog, at high doses, have demonstrated effects on fertility and testes. Studies with the chemically related boric acid in the rat, mouse and rabbit, at high doses, demonstrate developmental effects on the fetus, including fetal weight loss and minor sketetal variations. The doses administered were many times in excess of those to which humans would normally be exposed. Human epidemiological studies show no increase in pulmonary disease in occupational populations with chronic exposures to boric acid dust and sodium borate dust. A recent epidemiological study under the conditions of normal occupational exposure to borate dusts indicated no effect on fertility. o MUTAGENIC EFFEGTS: The components of this product are not reported to cause reproductive effects under typical circumstances of exposure at the concentrations present in this product. o SPECIFIC TARGET ORGAN TOXICITY SINGLE EXPOSURE: Not applicable. - o SPEGIFIC TARGET ORGAN TOXICITY REPEATED EXPOSURE: Not applicable. - .
