Potential health effects
Inhalation: Inhalation of dusts may cause irritation of the upper respiratory tract with sore throat, coughing and shortness of breath. Upon contact with moist mucous membranes, sodium metasilicate is highly alkaline and may cause corrosive damage. May cause severe irritation of the respiratory tract with coughing, choking, pain and possibly burns of the mucous membranes. In some cases, pulmonary edema and/or pneumonia may develop, either immediately or more often within 72 hours. The symptoms may include tightness in the chest, dyspnea, frothy sputum, cyanosis, and dizziness. Physical findings may include moist rales, low blood pressure and high pulse pressure. Skin contact: Direct contact with wet material or by moist skin may cause severe irritation, pain, and possibly burns. Eye contact: Dust or mist may cause severe irritation, pain and corneal burns (possibly leading to blindness). The full extent of the injury may not be immediately apparent. Ingestion: May cause immediate pain and severe burns of the esophagus and gastrointestinal tract with vomiting, nausea, and diarrhea. Edema of the epiglottis and shock may occur.
