PRIMARY ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: Contact with skin and eyes. inhalation of dust. EYE CONTACT: Causes slight to mild irritation of the eyes. SKIN CONTACT: Causes slight to mild irritation of the skin. INHALATION: Irritating to the nose, mucous membranes and respiratory tract. INGESTION: Toxicity reduced to the extent that this compound is relatively insoluble. In large amounts may cause vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea. CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS: Prolonged exposure to hydrolysable fluorine compounds can cause deteriora- tion of bone and tooth structure. ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS: Irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. ingestion of large amounts may cause fluoride poisoning. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, coma, and cardiovascular collapse. SECTION 4 First Aid Measures EYE EXPOSURE: Immediately flush the eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Assure flushing under eyelids. A victim may need assistance in keeping their eyelids open. Get immediate competent medi- cal attention. SKIN EXPOSURE: Wash affected area with water. Remove contaminated clothes if necessary.
