2. HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION
 
2.1 Health Effects - Acute
Swallowed
May cause abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Concentrated solutions (over 20%) can cause burns of the mouth, bleeding stomach, incoordination, muscle spasms and kidney injury.
Eye
Dust can cause irritation and inflammation of the eyes. Concentrated solutions may cause severe eye damage.
Skin
Dust and concentrated solutions can cause irritation, especially of open cuts.
Inhaled
Dust forms sulphuric acid in contact with moisture in air or in tissues; can cause sore throat, coughing and irritation of nose and throat. High concentrations may cause congestion and constriction of airways.
2.2 Health Effects - Chronic
Prolonged exposure can cause irritation and numbing of the fingers. Repeated ingestion may cause phosphate deficiency, which can weaken bones. Ingested material is not easily absorbed. It reacts with phosphate, forming an insoluble compound which is readily passed out of the body. Inhaled dust may accumulate in the lungs until slowly cleared.
2.3 First Aid
Swallowed
Never give anything bby mouth if victim is rapidly losing consciousness, or is unconscious or convulsing. Have victim rinse mouth thoroughly with water. DO NOT induce vomiting. If breathing has stopped, trained personnel should begin artificial respiration. If the heart has stopped begin CPR immediately.
Eye
Immediately flush the contaminated eyes with lukewarm, gently flowing water for 20 minutes, holding the eyelids open. Take care not to rinse contaminated water into the non-affected eye. If irritation persists, obtain medical attention immediately.
Skin
Flush contaminated area with lukewarm, gently running water for at least 20 minutes. Under running water, remove contaminated clothing, shoes and leather goods. If irritation persists, obtain medical attention immediately.
Inhaled
If symptoms are experienced, remove source of contamination or move victim to fresh air. Obtain medical advice immediately.
First Aid Facilities
Ensure an eye bath and safety shower are available and ready for use.
2.5 Advice to Doctor
Treat symptomatically based on judgement of doctor and individual reactions of patient.
2.6 Toxicity Data
Oral LD50 = 1930 mg/kg (Rat) Dermal LD50 = not available Inhalation LC50 = not available
