SECTION 2: Hazards identification
Toxicity class: WHO (a.i.) III (Table 5); EPA (formulation) IV.
Principle Routes of Exposure
Ingestion, inhalation and skin contact. Eye contact: May cause eye irritation. Skin contact: Minimally toxic. May cause mild skin irritation. Ingestion: Can be dangerous if large amounts are ingested. Inhalation: Irritating to the mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract. 4. FIRST AID MEASURES AND PRECAUTIONS Elemental Sulfur is moderately irritating to the skin, and airborne dust is irritating to the eyes and the respiratory tract. In hot sunny environments, there may be some oxidation of foliage-deposited Sulfur to irritating gaseous Sulfur oxides, which are very irritating to the eyes and respiratory tract. Ingested Sulfur powder induces catharsis, and has been used medicinally (usually with molasses) for that purpose. Some hydrogen sulfide is formed in the large intestine and this may present a degree of toxic hazard. However, an adult has survived ingestion of 60 grams. Ingested colloidal Sulfur is efficiently absorbed by the gut and is promptly excreted in the urine as inorganic sulfate. Inhalation: Remove source of contamination or move victim to fresh air. If breathing has stopped, perform artificial respiration and administer oxygen. Keep person warm and at rest. Treat symptomatically and supportively as and when required. Obtain medical advice if necessary.
