|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | May be irritating to eyes, skin and respiratory tract. May be harmful if inhaled or swallowed. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Ingestion, eyes, inhalation, skin |
| Eye Contact: | May cause moderate irritation of the eyes. |
| Skin Contact: | Brief exposure may cause moderate irritation of the skin. |
| Inhalation: | Vapor may be slightly irritating to the nose, mucous membranes and respiratory tract. |
| Ingestion: | Zinc salts have a harsh metallic taste. Ingestion may lead to nausea, vomiting, weakness and unconsciousness. |

| 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 soap and 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). |
