Inhalation: Mercury: Ir:r ita;t/Se's iti z er/Neurotox i n,/Nephrotoxrn' zgN|c/|,l3immediatelydangeroustolifeorlrealth.

Acute Exposure Inhalation of high levels of mercury vapor may causl almost inmediate dyspnea, goYgh, fever' nausea' diarrhea, headacSe, stomatitis, salivatiotl, ""iliii"g,gingivii.is, a metallic taste, and cardiac abnormalities. i.."6ir"t"ry irritation may occur with chest pa+n.and. tightness' symptoms rnay resolve or may progress to necrotizing bronch- iolitis, pneumonitis, pulmonlry eclema, pneumothorax, inter- sitial iiLrosis, and death. Acidosis and renal damage may also occur. aliergic reactions that may occur in previously exposed persons :-n6tuae dermatitis, encephalitis, and death' chronic Exposure Inhalation of mercury vapor over 1 long period may cause mercurialism, which is characterized by fine tremors and erethism. Tremors may affect the hands first, but may also become eviclent in the face, arms, and legs. Erethilm may be manifested by abnormal shyness, Uii"f,i"g, self-conlciousness, depression or despondency, resentment of criticism, irritability or excitability, head- ache, fatiguar-a"a insomnia. In severe cases, hallucinations' loss of memory, ancl mental deterioration may occur. .concen- trAtions as l-ow as 0.03 MG/M3 have induced psychiatric in humans. Renal involvement may_be indicated ry"yoptoms proteinuria, albuminuria, enzymurlat and anoria. other utf!"t" may include salivation, gingivitis, stomatitis, ioosening ;f the teeth, blue lines on the gumsr weight l6ss, anorexia, speech and sensory disorders,-diarrhea, un- steiay gait, ctrronic pneurnonitis ancl mild anemia. Repeated exposure to mercury and its compounds may result in sen- si-tization. Intrauterine exposure may result in trenrors ancl involuntary movemetrts in the inf ants. Mercury is excreted in breast milk. Paternal reproductive effects ancl effects on fertility have been reported in male rats f ollowing r'epeated inhalation exposures.

First Aid - Remove from exposure'area to fresh air immediately. If breathing has stoppe$, give artificial respiration. Maintain iirway ancl-blood pressure and admin- ister oxygen if available. Keep affected person-warm and at rest. Aclninistration of oxygen s[ould be trlerf ormed by qua l i f i ed per s onne l . Get medi ca l attent i ou immecli,,-.1.if;,*j.?,{*o,*
