Section 3 -- HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY OF ACUTE HAZARDS
Causes irreversible eye damage and skin irritation.
ROUTE OF EXPOSURE, SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
INHALATION
N/A
EYE CONTACT
Corrosive: Causes irreversible eye damage.
SKIN CONTACT
Skin irritation.
INGESTION
Phosphates are slowly and incompletely absorbed when ingested, and seldom
result in systemic effects. Such effects, however, have occurred. Symptoms
may include vomiting, lethargy, diarrhea, blood chemistry effects, heart
disturbances and central nervous system effects. The toxicity of phosphates is
because of their ability to sequester calcium. Systemic acidosis may result as
this material is believed to hydrolyze into phosphoric acid when ingested.
SUMMARY OF CHRONIC HAZARDS
None known.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE
May induce severe gastroenteric distress (vomiting, gastroenteric pain, and
local corrosion and hemorrhages), prostration, anuria, hematuria, anemia,
increase in white blood cells, icterus, coma,respiratory difficulties, and
circulatory failure.
=============================================================================
Section 4 -- FIRST AID MEASURES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If INHALED: N/A
If on SKIN: Immediately wash with soap and water. Remove and wash
any contaminated clothing.

vomiting or give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Drink promptly a large quantity of milk, egg whites, gelatin
solution, or if these are not available, drink large
quantities of water. Avoid alcohol.
