Principle Routes of Exposure

Dermal contact. Eye contact. Inhalation. Ingestion.

Potential Acute Health Effects

Inhalation : Exposure to high concentrations may result in health complaints. Irritating to respiratory system. Exposure may result in depressed respiration, coughing, nausea and sore throat. Prolonged or repeated exposure to large amounts may cause damage to lungs (lung edema). May cause sensitization by inhalation (fever, pain). In oversensitive people even exposure to very small amounts causes allergic reactions. Ingestion : No known significant effects or critical hazards. Skin : Exposure to high concentrations may result in health complaints. Prolonged or repeated exposure may be irritating (redness, pain). May cause sensitization by skin contact (sweating, fever, pain). In oversensitive people even exposure to very small amounts causes allergic reactions. Eyes : Irritating to eyes. Exposure may result in impaired vision, tears, redness and pain. Potential chronic health effects

Potential chronic health

Contains material that can cause target organ damage. Repeated or prolonged inhalation of dust may lead to chronic respiratory irritation. Once sensitized, a severe allergic reaction may occur when subsequently exposed to very low levels. Carcinogenicity : Contains material which can cause cancer. Risk of cancer depends on duration and level of exposure. Mutagenicity : No known significant effects or critical hazards.

Teratogenic Effects

No known significant effects or critical hazards. Developmental effects : No known significant effects or critical hazards. Fertility effects : No known significant effects or critical hazards. Target organs : Contains material which causes damage to the following organs: eye, lens or cornea. Contains material which may cause damage to the following organs: kidneys, lungs, the nervous system, heart, upper respiratory tract, skin, nose/sinuses. Over-exposure signs/symptoms Inhalation : Adverse symptoms may include the following: respiratory tract irritation coughing wheezing and breathing difficulties asthma Ingestion : No specific data. Skin : Adverse symptoms may include the following: irritation redness Eyes : Adverse symptoms may include the following: pain or irritation watering redness Medical conditions aggravated by over- exposure : Pre-existing respiratory and skin disorders and disorders involving any other target organs mentioned in this MSDS as being at risk may be aggravated by over-exposure to this product.
