Acute Health Hazards

Inhalation: Particles may cause irritation to the nose and respiratory tract. Symptoms may include coughing and shortness of breath. Eye: Contact may cause severe irritation and burns. Scarring may be permanent. Skin: Contact may cause severe irritation and burns. Scarring may be permanent. Ingestion: The mouth and esophagus may appear grayish-white progressing to black with a shrunken and wrinkled texture. Esophageal or stomach perforation may occur. Circulatory collapse occurs in extreme cases with clammy skin, weak and rapid pulse, shallow respiration, and scanty urine. Uncorrected circulatory collapse can cause kidney failure and ischemic (localized tissue anemia due to decreased inflow of arterial blood) lesions of the heart and liver. Death is generally due to circulatory collapse or asphyxiation due to glottis edema (fluid and swelling in the epiglottis which causes insufficient oxygen to reach the windpipe). The estimated human lethal dose is 0.5 to 5 g/kg (1 oz to 1 pint for a 70 kg/150 lb person).
