| Eye Contact: | Causes burns to the eyes. |
| Skin Contact: | Causes burns to the skin. |
| Inhalation: | Inhalation of dust can lead to caustic burns of the respiratory tract. |
| Ingestion: | Harmful if swallowed. |
| Acute Health Effects: | Corrosive to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. |
| Chronic Health Effects: | Prolonged exposure to dust of tin compounds may result in benign pneumoconiosis. |
| 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. |
