Potential health effects
Eye Contact (EC): Causes severe burns Skin Contact (EC): Causes severe burns Skin Absorption (EC): Toxic Will be absorbed through the skin. Effects similar to those of ingestion Target Organs (SA E): Central nervous system Kidneys Ingestion (EC) Causes severe burns May cause abdominal pain circulatory disturbances diarrhea loosening of the teeth nausea vomiting rapid pulse and respirations toxic nephritis (inflammation of the kidneys) shock collapse kidney damage death Toxic Target Organs (Ing E): Central nervous system Kidneys Inhalation Causes severe burns May cause difficult breathing mouth soreness teeth erosion Effects similar to those of ingestion. Toxic Target Organs (Inh E): Central nervous system Kidneys Lungs Teeth
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure
Pre-existing Respiratory conditions Eye conditions Skin conditions Allergies or sensitivity to chromates or chromic acid. Allergies or sensitivity to mercury.
Potential chronic health
Chronic overexposure may cause destruction of any tissue contacted difficult breathing mouth soreness erosion of the teeth accumulation of silver in body tissues which causes a slate-gray to bluish discoloration. cancer Chromate and dichromate salts may cause ulceration and perforation of the nasal septum, severe liver damage, central nervous system effects, and lung cancer. Mercury is a general protoplasmic poison; it circulates in the blood and is stored in the liver, kidneys, spleen and bones. Main symptoms are sore mouth, tremors and psychic disturbances. Cancer / Reproductive Toxicity Information: An ingredient of this mixture is IARC Group 1 Recognized Carcinogen Hexavalent Chromium Compounds Sulfuric Acid - The IARC evaluation was based on exposure to the mist or vapor of concentrated sulfuric acid generated during chemical processes.
