| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | Copper compounds may be irritating to the skin, eyes and respiratory tract. Toxic hydrogen sulfide may be released with strong acids. Possible risk of irreversible effects. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Ingestion, inhalation, skin |
| Eye Contact: | Dust may cause mild to moderate irritation of the eyes. |
| Skin Contact: | May cause slight irritation of the skin. |
| Inhalation: | Inhalation of dust can lead to irritation of the respiratory tract. Hydrogen sulfide gas, if formed, is poisonous. |
| Ingestion: | Ingestion of copper compounds may lead to vomiting, exhaustion, anemia, convulsions and coma. |
| Acute Health Effects: | Ingestion of large amounts may lead to vomiting, anemia, convulsions and coma. Hydrogen sulfide, if released, causes nausea, dizziness and pulmonary edema. |
| Chronic Health Effects: | The dust of copper compounds may cause metal fume fever, hemolysis of the red blood cells and injury to the liver, lungs, kidneys and pancreas. Possible risk of irreversible effects. |
| NTP: | No |
| IARC: | No |
| OSHA: | No |
| 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. |
