SECTION 3: Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview: Dust is corrosive to the skin and eyes. Material hydrolyzes in contact with moisture releasing hydroiodic acid and under some conditions corrosive hydrogen iodide fumes. Irritating to the respiratory tract.
Primary Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, skin, eyes
Eye Contact: Dust causes severe burns to the eyes.
Skin Contact: Causes burning of the skin with redness, pain, itching, pimples, boils, hives and/or blisters. may cause sensitization by skin contact.
Inhalation: Forms hydroiodic acid in the presence of moisture. Inhalation can lead to burning of the respiratory tract. May cause sensitization by inhalation
Ingestion: May be harmful if swallowed. Corrosive to the gastrointestinal tract.
Acute Health Effects: Corrosive to skin and eyes. May be irritating to the nose, mucous membranes and respiratory tract. May be harmful if swallowed.
Chronic Health Effects: Chronic ingestion of iodides may produce iodism. Symptoms include skin rash, running nose, headache and irritation of the 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.
