SECTION 3: Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview: Toxic by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed. This compound may cause fluoride poisoning by reducing cellular calcium function. Early symptoms include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and weakness.
Primary Routes of Exposure: Ingestion, inhalation, skin, eyes
Eye Contact: May cause irritation and serious eye damage. Effects may not immediately appear.
Skin Contact: May cause irritation with redness and pain. Soluble fluoride may be corrosive. Effects may not appear immediately.
Inhalation: Inhalation of dust may cause severe irritation to the respiratory tract, causing coughing, sore throat, and labored breathing.
Ingestion: May cause salivation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain.
Acute Health Effects: Fluoride poisoning may cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, coma, and respiratory paralysis.
Chronic Health Effects: Prolonged exposure to soluble fluorine compounds can cause deterioration of bone and tooth structure, and kidney damage.
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. Do not induce vomiting.
SECTION 5: Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point: not applicable
Autoignition Temperature: none
Explosion Limits: none
Extinguishing Medium: none required
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: If involved in a fire, fire fighters should be equipped with a NIOSH approved positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing.
