SAFETY

HAZARD NOTES

Danger! Toxic if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Causes eye, skin, and respiratory tract irritation.
Target Organs: Respiratory system, gastrointestinal system, eyes, skin.

EYE

Cause eye irritation.

SKIN

Causes skin irritation. Toxic in contact with skin. May be metabolized to cyanide which in turn acts by inhibiting cytochrome oxidase impairing cellular respiration.

INGESTION

May cause irritation of the digestive tract. Metabolism may release cyanide, which may result in headache, dizziness, weakness, collapse, unconsciousness and possible death. Toxic if swallowed.

INHALATION

Causes respiratory tract irritation. Toxic if inhaled.

CHRONIC

Exposure to small amounts of cyanide compounds over long periods of time is reported to cause loss of appetite, headache, weakness, nausea, dizziness, and symptoms of irritation of the upper respiratory tract and eyes.
