May be harmful if swallowed. PRIMARY ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: Contact with skin and eyes. Inhalation of dust. EYE CONTACT: Causes irritation and serious eye damage. Effects may not immediately appear. SKIN CONTACT: Causes irritation, with redness and pain. Soluble fluoride may be corrosive. Effects may not ap- pear immediately INHALATION: Inhalation of dust causes severe irritation to the respiratory tract, causing coughing, sore throat, and labored breathing. INGESTION: May cause salivation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. 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. Fluoride poisoning may cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, coma, and respiratory paralysis. 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. 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 assistance immediately. Keep the victim calm. Give the victim water (only if conscious). Induce vomiting only if directed by medical personnel. ``` ## Page 2 (OCR) ```text SECTION 5 Firefighting Measures FLASH POINT: not applicable AUTO IGNITION TEMPERATURE: none EXPLOSION LIMITS: none EXTINGUISHING MEDIUM: None. Material is non flammable SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES: If involved in a fire, fire fighters should be equipped with a NIOSH approved positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION AND DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: none UNUSUAL FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARDS: No unusual fire or explosion hazard. SECTION 6 Accidental Release Measures SPILL AND LEAD PROCEDURES: Small spills can be mixed with powdered sodium bicarbonate, lime, or cal- cium carbonate and swept up. SECTION 7 Handling and Storage HANDLING AND STORAGE: Store material in a tightly sealed container away from moisture. Handle under a dry atmosphere of air or nitrogen.
