|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | Toxic if swallowed. Irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. May impair fertility or cause harm to the unborn child. Possible risk of irreversible effects. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Ingestion, inhalation, skin, eyes |
| Eye Contact: | Causes irritation and serious eye damage. Effects may not immediately appear. |
| Skin Contact: | Causes irritation, with redness and pain. Soluble fluoride may be corrosive. Effects may not appear immediately |
| Inhalation: | Inhalation of dust will cause severe irritation to the respiratory tract, causing coughing, sore throat, and labored breathing. |
| Ingestion: | Toxic if swallowed. May cause salivation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. |
| Acute Health Effects: | Toxic if swallowed. Irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. May cause harm to the unborn child. |
| Chronic Health Effects: | May impair fertility. Prolonged exposure to hydrolysable fluorine compounds can cause deterioration of bone and tooth structure. Possible risk of irreversible effects. |

| SECTION 4: First Aid Measures | |
|---|---|
| Eye Exposure: | Immediately flush the eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 10-15 minutes. A victim may need assistance in keeping their eye lids open. Get immediate medical attention. |
| Skin Exposure: | Wash the affected area with water. Remove contaminated clothes if necessary. Apply calcium gluconate jelly or water soluble calcium salts as antidote. Seek medical assistance. |
| Inhalation: | Remove the victim to fresh air. Closely monitor the victim for signs of respiratory problems, such as difficulty in breathing, coughing, wheezing, or pain. In such cases seek immediate medical assistance. |
| Ingestion: | Seek medical attention immediately. Keep the victim calm. Give the victim water (only if conscious). Induce vomiting only if directed by medical personnel. |
