| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | Irritating to skin eyes and respiratory tract. Some boron compounds are toxic if ingested. Unrecognized hazards may be present. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Ingestion, inhalation, skin and eyes. |
| Eye Contact: | Causes severe irritation or burns to the eyes. |
| Skin Contact: | Causes severe irritation, redness, and pain to the skin |
| Inhalation: | Dust is irritating to nose, mucous membranes, and respiratory tract. |
| Ingestion: | May be toxic by ingestion. High doses may cause boron poisoning: convulsions, cyanosis, coma and death. |
| Acute Health Effects: | Irritating to eyes and respiratory tract. Redness and pain in eyes, sore throat, and twitching of facial muscles may occur. High doses may cause convulsions, cyanosis, coma, and death. |
| Chronic Health Effects: | Repeated ingestion of some boron compounds may cause dryness of mucous membranes, anorexia, vomiting, mild diarrhea, skin rash, and low blood cell count. Kidney damage may occur. |

| 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. |
