| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | Irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. May be harmful if swallowed. Prolonged exposure to iodide salts may produce a mild toxic syndrome known as iodism. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Contact with skin and eyes. Inhalation of dust. |
| Eye Contact: | Contact with eyes causes irritation. May cause redness and pain. |
| Skin Contact: | Causes irritation to skin. Symptoms include redness, itching, and pain, pimples, boils, hives and blisters. |
| Inhalation: | Causes irritation to the respiratory tract. Symptoms may include coughing and shortness of breath. |
| Ingestion: | Large oral doses may cause irritation to the gastrointestinal tract |
| Acute Health Effects: | Irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. |
| Chronic Health Effects: | Chronic ingestion of iodides may produce iodism. Symptoms include skin rash, running nose, headache and irritation of mucous membranes. |
| 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. |
