Principle Routes of Exposure

Inhalation  Ingestion  Eye Contact  Skin Contact

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

May aggravate existing respiratory and/or skin ailments. Human Effects and Symptoms of Overexposure:  May cause eye, skin, and respiratory tract irritation. Causes burns that are not immediately visible or painful. Harmful if inhaled, swallowed, or absorbed through skin. May cause abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, excess Salivation, thirst, perspiration and spasms. Large amounts may be fatal. Inhalation may cause nasal discharge, nosebleed, cough, sore throat, labored breathing, bronchospasm, pulmonary edema, and systematic toxicity. Prolonged or repeated inhalation and ingestion may cause delayed injury involving the kidneys and the blood, gastrointestinal, nervous, and reproductive systems. Skin May cause fluoride burns that may not be immediately painful or evident, especially on prolonged contact. This material may be absorbed through the skin resulting in systematic poisoning. Symptoms of poisoning are similar to those that occur with ingestion. Ingestions May cause abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, excess salivation, thirst, perspiration, and painful spasms of the limbs. Large amounts may be fatal. Eye Causes irritation and may cause burns. Inhalation May cause respiratory tract and mucous membrane irritation. Symptoms include nasal discharge and nosebleeds, coughing, sore throat, and labored breathing. Severe exposure may cause bronchospasm and pulmonary edema. Absorption may cause systemic poisoning similar to that which occurs with ingestion.

Potential chronic health

or Exposure Exposure to Fluorides over years may produce mottling of tooth enamel, embrittlement, and decalcification of bones, and increased calcification of ligaments and vertebrae resulting in spinal stiffness (fluorosis). Prolonged absorption of Boron Compounds may cause mild gastrointestinal irritation, loss of appetite, nausea, and erythematous rash. Dryness of the skin and mucous membranes, loss of hair, conjunctivitis, and kidney injury have also been observed. Reproductive effects have been observed in laboratory animals. Carcinogenicity No carcinogenic substances as defined by IARC, NTP and / or OSHA.
