SECTION 3: Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview: Harmful if swallowed. Corrosive to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. Possible risk of harm to the unborn child, impaired fertility and irreversible effects. Tetrahydrofuran can cause drowsiness.
Primary Routes of Exposure: Ingestion, inhalation, skin, eyes
Eye Contact: Dust and vapors cause burns to the eyes and blindness.
Skin Contact: Causes burns to the skin. May cause sensitization through skin contact.
Inhalation: Corrosive to the nose, mucous membranes and respiratory tract. May cause sensitization through inhalation.
Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed. Ingestion may cause damage to the mouth, throat and esophagus.
Acute Health Effects: Corrosive to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. Possible risk of harm to the unborn child.
Chronic Health Effects: Although less toxic than Chromium (VI), chromium (III) chloride may act as a mutagen and reproductive effector. Possible risk of impaired fertility and irreversible effects. In animal studies, tetrahydrofuran acted as a tumorigen (liver), mutagen and reproductive effector.
NTP: Yes
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.
