Inhalation: Inhalation of dust causes 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: Irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. 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.
