Potential health effects

Oxone Monopersulfate blended with 0-20% Sodium Carbonate is a skin and eye corrosive, and a nose throat and lung irritant. May cause allergic skin reactions in sensitive individuals. Ingestion may cause inflammation and damage to the lining of the stomach, resulting in bleeding. Skin contact with aqueous solutions or the dry powder upon contact with moisture or perspiration may cause skin burns or ulceration; temporary body hair loss may occur in contacted areas. Skin contact with this product may cause allergic skin reactions in sensitive individuals. Human patch tests with the product diluted in water at concentrations up to 150 ppm did not cause allergic skin reactions. Eye contact may cause corneal opacity (clouding of the eye) and eye corrosion or ulceration. Severe eye damage may result (See First Aid Measures) Inhalation may cause nose bleeds and irritation of the upper respiratory passages and lungs with coughing, discomfort, difficult breathing and shortness of breath. Ingestion may cause gastritis possibly progressing to necrosis or hemorrhage. Individuals with pre-existing diseases of the skin or gastrointestinal tract may have increased susceptibility to the toxicity of excessive exposures.
