Potential health effects

EYE CONTACT: Vapors, liquid and mists are extremely corrosive to the eyes. Brief contact of the liquid or mists will severely damage the eyes and prolonged contact may cause permanent eye injury which may be followed by blindness. INHALATION: Vapors, liquid and mists are extremely corrosive to the nose, throat and mucus membranes. Bronchitis, pulmonary edema, and chemical pneumonitis may occur. Irritation, coughing, chest pain and difficulty in breathing may occur with brief exposure, while prolonged exposure may result in more severe irritation and tissue damage. Breathing high concentrations may result in death. INGESTION: Vapors, liquid and mists are extremely corrosive to the mouth and throat. Swallowing the liquid burns the tissues, causes severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and collapse. Swallowing large quantities can cause death. SKIN CONTACT: Vapors, liquid and mists are extremely corrosive to the skin. Vapors will severely irritate the skin, and liquid and mists will severely burn the skin. Prolonged skin contact will burn or destroy surrounding tissue and death may accompany burns which extend over large portions of the body. A latent period may exist between exposure and sense of irritation. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE: Irritation, pain, coughing, redness of skin.
