| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | Harmful by inhalation and if swallowed. Selenium compounds can cause shortness of breath, garlic odor, chills, and headache. Chronic exposure may result in nervous disorders, liver and kidney disease. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Ingestion, inhalation. |
| Eye Contact: | May cause mild to moderate irritation of the eyes. |
| Skin Contact: | May cause irritation of the skin, and upon repeated contact, dermatitis. |
| Inhalation: | Harmful by inhalation. Dust or vapors may cause garlic odor, shortness of breath, chills, headache, and delayed pulmonary edema. |
| Ingestion: | Harmful if swallowed. Ingestion may lead to nausea, vomiting, bloody diarrhea, weakness and chronic diseases. |
| Acute Health Effects: | Harmful by inhalation and if swallowed. May be irritating to skin, eyes, and respiratory tract and cause nausea, vomiting, bloody diarrhea, weakness, chills, headache, and delayed pulmonary edema. |
| Chronic Health Effects: | Prolonged exposure to selenium compounds may cause dermatitis, diarrhea, liver damage, nervous disorders, lameness, and loss of vitality. |

| 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. Seek medical assistance if irritation persists. |
| 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. |
