LD50 LC50 Mixture:LD50 ORAL ACUTE: 317 MG/KG (RAT)
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS IN CASE OF SKIN
    CONTACT (IRRITANT), OF EYE CONTACT (IRRITANT), OF INGESTION, OF
    INHALATION. VERY HAZARDOUS WASTE IN CASE OF SKIN CONTACT
    (CORROSIVE). HAZARDOUS IN CASE OF SKIN CONT ACT (SENSITIZER,
    PERMEATOR). THE AMOUNT OF TISSUE DAMAGE DEPENDS ON LENGTH OF
    CONTACT. EYE CONTACT CAN RESULT IN CORNEAL DAMAGE OE BLINDNESS.
    SKIN CONTACT CAN PRODUCE INFLAMMATION AND BLISTERING.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT AVAILABLE
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION OF DUST WILL PRODUCE IRRITATION TO
    GASTRONITESTINAL OR RESPIRATORY TRACT, CHARACTERIZED BY BURNING,
    SNEEZING & COUGHING. SEVERE OVER-EXPOSURE CAN PRODUCE LUNG DAMAGE,
    CHOKING, UNCONSCIOUSNE SS OR DEATH. INFLAMMATION OF THE EYE IS
    CHARACTERIZED BY REDNESS, WATERING, AND ITCHING. SKIN INFLAMMATION
    IS CHARACTERIZED BY ITCHING, SCALING, REDDENING, OR OCCASIONALLY,
    BLISTERING.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:EYE-CHECK FOR & REMOVE CONTACT LENSES. IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES
    WITH RUNNING WATER FOR 15 MIN, KEEP EYELIDS OPEN. COLD WATER MAY BE
    USED. DO NOT USE EYE OINTMENT. SEEK MEDICAL AID. SKIN-WASH WITH A
    DISI NFECTANT SOAP & COVER THE CONTAMINATED SKIN WITH AN
    ANTI-BACTERIAL CREAM. SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL AID. INHALATION-ALLOW
    THE VICTIM TO REST IS A WELL VENTILATED AREA. SEEK IMMEDIATE
    MEDICAL AID. INGESTI ON-DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. EXAMINE THE LIPS &
    MOUTH FOR TISSUE DAMAGE. LOOSEN TIGHT CLOTHING. IF THE VICTIM IS
    NOT BREATHING, PERFORM MOUTH-TO-MOUTH RESUSCITATION. SEE IMMEDIATE
    MEDICAL AID.
