Risk of serious damage to eyes. May cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS SWALLOWED ! The material can produce severe chemical burns within the oral cavity and gastrointestinal tract following ingestion. ! Ingestion of acidic corrosives may produce burns around and in the mouth. the throat and esophagus. <\p>. ! Accidental ingestion of the material may be damaging to the health of the individual. ! As absorption of phosphates from the bowel is poor, poisoning this way is less likely. Effects can include vomiting, tiredness, fever, diarrhea, low blood pressure, slow pulse, cyanosis, spasms of the wrist, coma and severe body spasms. EYE ! The material can produce severe chemical burns to the eye following direct contact. Vapors or mists may be extremely irritating. ! If applied to the eyes, this material causes severe eye damage. ! Direct eye contact with acid corrosives may produce pain, tears, sensitivity to light and burns. Mild burns of the epithelia generally recover rapidly and completely. <\p>. SKIN ! The material can produce severe chemical burns following direct contactwith the skin. ! Skin contact with acidic corrosives may result in pain and burns; these may be deep with distinct edges and may heal slowly with the formation of scar tissue. ! Skin contact is not thought to have harmful health effects, however the material may still produce health damage following entry through wounds, lesions or abrasions. ! Open cuts, abraded or irritated skin should not be exposed to this material. ! Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions, may produce systemic injury with harmful effects. Examine the skin prior to the use of the material and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected. INHALED ! The material can cause respiratory irritation in some persons. The body's response to such irritation can cause further lung damage. ! Corrosive acids can cause irritation of the respiratory tract, with coughing, choking and mucous membrane damage. There may be dizziness, headache, nausea and weakness. <\p>. ! Persons with impaired respiratory function, airway diseases and conditions such as emphysema or chronic bronchitis, may incur further disability if excessive concentrations of particulate are inhaled. CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS ! Repeated or prolonged exposure to acids may result in the erosion of teeth, swelling and or ulceration of mouth lining. Irritation of airways to lung, with cough, and inflammation of lung tissue often occurs. <\p>. Long-term exposure to respiratory irritants may result in disease of the airways involving difficult breathing and related systemic problems. Limited evidence suggests that repeated or long-term occupational exposure may produce cumulative health effects involving organs or biochemical systems. Sodium phosphate dibasic can cause stones in the kidney, loss of mineral from the bones and loss of thyroid gland function. Exposure to large doses of Aluminum has been connected with the degenerative brain disease Alzheimer's Disease. Aluminium phosphate is poorly absorbed by the body. There is little potential for accumulation in the body. [CHEMINFO] Section 3 - COMPOSITION / INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS NAME CAS RN % aluminium phosphate 7784-30-7 100 Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES SWALLOWED " For advice, contact a Poisons Information Center or a doctor at once. " Urgent hospital treatment is likely to be needed. EYE ! If this product comes in contact with the eyes: " Immediately hold eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously with running water. " Ensure 2 of 7 complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from eye and moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids. SKIN ! If skin or hair contact occurs: " Immediately flush body and clothes with large amounts of water, using safety shower if available. " Quickly remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear. INHALED " If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area. " Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested. Inhalation of vapors or aerosols (mists, fumes) may cause lung edema. Corrosive substances may cause lung damage (e.g. <\p>. NOTES TO PHYSICIAN ! Treat symptomatically. For acute or short term repeated exposures to strong acids: " Airway problems may arise from laryngeal edema and inhalation exposure. Treat with 100% oxygen initially. " Respiratory distress may require cricothyroidotomy if endotracheal intubation is contraindicated by excessive swelling. Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Vapour Pressure (mmHG): Not available. Upper Explosive Limit (%): Not applicable Specific Gravity (water=1): 2.56 Lower Explosive Limit (%): Not applicable EXTINGUISHING MEDIA " Water spray or fog. " Foam. FIRE FIGHTING " Alert Emergency Responders and tell them location and nature of hazard. " Wear full body protective clothing with breathing apparatus. When any large container (including road and rail tankers) is involved in a fire, consider evacuation by 800 metres in all directions. GENERAL FIRE HAZARDS/HAZARDOUS COMBUSTIBLE PRODUCTS " Non combustible. " Not considered to be a significant fire risk. Decomposition may produce toxic fumes of: phosphorus oxides (POx). FIRE INCOMPATIBILITY ! None known. PERSONAL PROTECTION Glasses: Full face- shield. Gloves: Respirator: Acid vapour Type B cartridge/ canister. Section 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES MINOR SPILLS " Remove all ignition sources. " Clean up all spills immediately. " Avoid contact with skin and eyes. " Control personal contact by using protective equipment. " Use dry clean up procedures and avoid generating dust. " Place in a suitable, labelled container for waste disposal. " Drains for storage or use areas should have retention basins for pH adjustments and dilution of spills before discharge or disposal of material. " Check regularly for spills and leaks. MAJOR SPILLS " Clear area of personnel and move upwind. " Alert Emergency Responders and tell them location and nature of hazard. Section 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE PROCEDURE FOR HANDLING " Avoid all personal contact, including inhalation. " Wear protective clothing when risk of exposure occurs. RECOMMENDED STORAGE METHODS ! DO NOT use aluminum or galvanized containers. 3 of 7 Check regularly for spills and leaks. " DO NOT use unlined steel containers. " Lined metal can, Lined metal pail/drum " Plastic pail. For low viscosity materials " Drums and jerricans must be of the non-removable head type. " Where a can is to be used as an inner package, the can must have a screwed enclosure. STORAGE REQUIREMENTS " Store in original containers. " Keep containers securely sealed.
