| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | Causes skin and eye irritation. May cause Coughing , breathing difficulty, nausea and vomiting. Prolonged exposure may produce a mild toxic syndrome known as iodism. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Contact with skin and eyes. Inhalation of dust. |
| Eye Contact: | Causes redness, pain, and blurred vision. Splashes from solution causes eye damage. |
| Skin Contact: | May cause burning, ulcerations, itching, pimples, boils, hives and blisters. |
| Inhalation: | Causes chemical burns to the respiratory tract. Symptoms may include coughing and shortness of breath. |
| Ingestion: | Causes burns to the gastrointestinal tract with abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. |
| Acute Health Effects: | Inhalation of dust may cause coughing and shortness of breath. Ingestion may cause abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Skin and eye contact will cause severe irritation. |
| Chronic Health Effects: | Chronic ingestion of iodides may produce iodism. Symptoms include skin rash, running nose, headache and irritation of mucous membranes. |
