SECTION 3: Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview:	Corrosive to the upper respiratory tract, eyes and skin. Solid slowly hydrolyzes in contact with moisture releasing corrosive hydrogen chloride fumes. Tetrahydrofuran can cause drowsiness.
Primary Routes of Exposure:	Ingestion, inhalation, skin, eyes.
Eye Contact:	Dust and vapors cause burns to the eyes and blindness.
Skin Contact:	Corrosive to skin. Contact can lead to redness, pain, blistering, ulceration and scar formation.
Inhalation:	Inhalation of large amounts of dust results in acid burns to the respiratory tract, chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary edema.
Ingestion:	Harmful if swallowed. Ingestion may cause damage to the mouth, throat and esophagus.
Acute Health Effects:	Inhalation of large amounts of dust would be extremely destructive to tissue of the mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract, skin and eyes.
Chronic Health Effects:	No information on long-term chronic 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.
