Potential health effects
Inhalation: Causes irritation mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract. Symptoms may include coughing, shortness of breath. Systemic poisoning can cause headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Heavy exposures can cause red blood cell destruction resulting in bloody urine, liver and kidney damage, convulsions, weakness, muscle pain, coma and death. Ingestion: Causes irritation to the gastrointestinal tract, headaches, gastritis, intoxication, blindness and, in acute cases, death. Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Other symptoms may parallel those from inhalation. Ingestion of 1 to 2 grams has caused severe poisoning. Skin Contact: Causes irritation to skin. Symptoms include redness, itching, and pain. May cause allergic skin reactions. May be absorbed through the skin with possible systemic effects. Eye Contact: Can cause eye irritation. Splashes may cause temporary pain and blurred vision. Chronic Exposure: Prolonged or repeated exposures can cause liver, kidney and blood effects. Hair and skin may become yellow (not jaundice). Conjunctiva of the eye may also become yellow with corresponding yellow vision. Prolonged skin contact causes drying and cracking of skin. Continued ingestion of small amounts could result in blindness. Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: Persons with pre-existing skin, blood, liver and kidney disorders may be more susceptible to the effects of this substance.
