ABSTRACT
These materials are hazardous through any route of exposure including inhalation, skin and eye exposure, ingestion, and abraded skin (e.g., breaks in the skin or penetration of the skin by debris).
Exposure Hazards
These materials typically have good warning properties, causing immediate and intense irritation to the skin, eyes, nose, and respiratory system. Severe exposure can cause accumulation of fluid in the lungs (pulmonary edema). In most cases, the inhalation toxicity is similar to exposure to hydrogen chloride or hydrogen f luoride. May cause second-or thirddegree burns upon short contact with skin surfaces.
