Code White: Corrosive
Potential health effects
INHALATION: Corrosive! May cause irritation of the nose and throat, labored breathing, damage to the mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract. May cause lung edema, a medical emergency.

Asphyxia from throat swelling and perforations of the esophagus and/or stomach can occur. Circulatory collapse with clammy skin, weak and rapid pulse, shallow respirations and scanty urine may follow ingestion and/or contact. Circulatory shock is often the immediate cause of death. SKIN CONTACT: Corrosive! May cause severe irritation, redness, pain, burns and may lead to death. Concentrated solutions can cause deep ulcers and discolor skin. Circulatory collapse with clammy skin, weak and rapid pulse, shallow respirations and scanty urine may follow ingestion and/or contact. Circulatory shock is often the immediate cause of death. EYE CONTACT: Corrosive! May cause severe redness, pain, blurred vision, eye burns that may result in permanent corneal damage even blindness.
Potential chronic health
EFFECTS May cause dermatitis and conjunctivitis. Dental erosion, tooth discoloration, nasal ulceration, laryngitis, bronchitis, pneumonia and gastrointestinal disturbances can occur. Long-term exposures can cause cancer.
