Section III Hazards Identification:
- General Information:
Flammable, Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin.
- Acute Health Effects:
Irritating to the skin and eyes on contact. Inhalation will cause irritation
to the lungs and mucus membrane. Irritation to the eyes will cause watering
and redness. Reddening, scaling, and itching are characteristics of skin
inflammation. Follow safe industrial hygiene practices and always wear
protective equipment when handling this compound.
- Chronic Health Effects:
Chronic copper poisoning is typified by hepatic cirrhosis, brain damage and
demyelination, kidney defects, and copper deposition in the cornea as
exemplified by humans with Wilson’s disease. It has also been reported that
copper poisoning has lead to hemolytic anemia and accelerates
arteriosclerosis.
- Acute Health Effects: This
product is not listed by NTP, IARC or regulated as a Carcinogen by OSHA.

15 minutes. Call a physician.
- First Aid For Skin:
In case of contact, flush skin with water. Wash clothing before reuse. Call
a physician if irritation occurs.
- First Aid For
Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give
artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a
physician.
- First Aid For
Ingestion: If swallowed, call a physician immediately.

immediately after use. Store away from food and beverages.
Section VIII. Exposure Controls/Personal
Protection
- Eye Protection: Safety
glasses or goggles.
- Skin Protection: PVC
gloves with impervious boots, apron or coveralls. Employees should wash
their hands and face before eating, drinking or using tobacco products.
- Respirator: Work
ambient concentrations should be monitored and if the recommended exposure
limit is exceeded, a NIOSH/MSHA approved dust respirator must be worn.
- Ventilation: Use
local ventilation if dusting is a problem, to maintain air levels below the
recommended exposure limit.
- Additional Protective
Measures: Emergency showers and eye wash stations should be
available. Educate and train employees in the safe use and handling of
hazardous chemicals.
