Section 3 -- HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY OF ACUTE HAZARDS
May cause irritation to skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. May be harmful
if swallowed or inhaled. Many of the systemic effects given below were taken
from toxicity information for other phosphates.
ROUTE OF EXPOSURE, SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
INHALATION
May cause irritation to the respiratory tract. Symptoms may include coughing
and shortness of breath.
EYE CONTACT
May cause irritation, redness and pain.
SKIN CONTACT
May cause 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
Individuals with pre-existing or chronic diseases of the eyes, skin,
respiratory system, cardiovascular system, gastrointestinal system, liver,
or kidneys may have increased susceptibility to excessive exposure.
=============================================================================
Section 4 -- FIRST AID MEASURES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If INHALED: If overcome by exposure, remove victim to fresh air
immediately. Give oxygen or artificial respiration as
needed. Obtain emergency medical attention. Prompt
action is essential.
If on SKIN: Immediately wash with soap and water. Remove and wash
any contaminated clothing.
If in EYES: Flush eyes with large amounts of water for 15 minutes.
Get medical attention if irritation persists.
If SWALLOWED: If swallowed, call a physician immediately. Only induce
vomiting at the instruction of a physician. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
