SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Emergency Overview Appearance, form, odor: White paste with ammonia-like, fishy odor WARNING! Eye, skin and respiratory irritant. Harmful if absorbed through skin. Potential skin sensitizer.

Principle Routes of Exposure

Eye, skin, skin absorption Symptoms of acute overexposure Skin: Severe irritant. Eyes: Severe irritant. Inhalation: Irritation of nose and throat; nausea and vomiting in severe cases. Ingestion: May cause irritation of the mouth, throat and stomach.. Effects of Chronic Exposure: Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause sensitization, with itching, swelling or rashes on later exposure. Prolonged or severe overexposure to DMP vapor can cause delayed lung damage and chemical pneumonia. TETA may cause respiratory sensitization and chronic lung toxicity (cough, tightness of chest, shortness of breath). Repeated exposures to high concentrations of TEPA may cause injury to the liver, kidney and respiratory tract. TEPA has caused allergic sensitization in humans. Medical Conditions Recognized as Being Aggravated by Exposure: Preexisting eye and skin disorders. Other: Repeated and/or prolonged exposure to low concentrations of vapor may cause: sore throat, eye irritation, nausea, faintness, headache, which are transient. Repeated and/or prolonged exposures may result in: adverse skin effects (such as defatting, rash, irritation or corrosion), adverse eye effects (such as conjunctivitis or corneal damage)
