Principle Routes of Exposure

Skin Contact. Eye contact. Inhalation.

Potential Acute Health Effects

Eyes Corrosive. May cause permanent damage including blindness. Skin Corrosive. May cause permanent damage. If absorbed through skin, the product can disrupt the body’s electrolyte balance by binding essential metal ions such as magnesium and calcium (hypocalcemia) which may disrupt normal heart and nervous system functions. Disruptions to the body’s potassium balance (hyperkalemia) may also occur. Effects may appear immediately or be delayed as much as 4 hours after exposure. Death usually results from uncontrollable ventricular fibrillation. Intravenous calcium chloride or gluconate may be indicated to prevent hypocalcemia. Consultation with a medical toxicologist is advised. Inhalation Immediately move the victim to fresh air. Call 911. Inhalation of HF fumes may cause swelling in the respiratory tract up to 24 hours after exposure. Persons who have inhaled HF fumes may need prophylactic oxygen treatment and should be seen by a physician as soon as possible. Ingestion Corrosive. May cause burns to mouth, throat and stomach.
