SECTION 3 — HAZARDOUS INFORMATION
Primary Route(s) of Entry: Inhalation, Skin, Eye, Ingestion
Inhalation Hazards: May cause respiratory tract, nose, throat, and lung irritation and inflammation. Long term respiratory exposure may produce silicosis in susceptible persons.
Skin Hazards: May irritate skin causing drying, redness, rash, and blistering. When mixed with water, a high alkali material is produced which can cause severe skin burns. Individuals may develop allergic dermatitis.
Eye Hazards: May severely irritate eyes. May develop inflammation of the cornea.
Ingestion Hazards: May be caustic to mucus tissue.
Chronic Exposure: Individuals may develop allergic dermatitis, inflammation of the cornea, and inflammation of the nose, throat, and lungs. May cause carcinogenic effects.
