TERATOGENIC EFFECTS: DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: The substance may be toxic to blood, cardiovascular system. Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage.

2 Potassium Chloride, 3M Aqueous Solution Page Number: 2 Section 4. First Aid Measures Eye Contact Skin Contact Serious Skin Contact Inhalation Serious Inhalation Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Cold water may be used. Get medical attention. In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Cold water may be used.wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical attention. Wash with a disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream. Seek medical attention. If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention. Ingestion Serious Ingestion Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. Get medical attention if symptoms appear. Section 5. Fire and Explosion Data Flammability of the Product Auto-Ignition Temperature Flash Points Flammable Limits Products of Combustion Fire Hazards in Presence of Various Substances Explosion Hazards in Presence of Various Substances Fire Fighting Media and Instructions Fire Hazards Explosion Hazards Non-flammable. Non-explosive in presence of open flames and sparks, of shocks. May result in explosion with potassium permanganate and sulfuric acid. (Potassium chloride) Section 6. Accidental Release Measures Small Spill Large Spill Dilute with water and mop up, or absorb with an inert dry material and place in an appropriate waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and dispose of according to local and regional authority requirements. Absorb with an inert material and put the spilled material in an appropriate waste disposal. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and allow to evacuate through the sanitary system.

If ingested, seek medical advice immediately and show the container or the label. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Section 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection Engineering Controls Personal Protection Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapors below their respective threshold limit value. Splash goggles or Safety glasses. Lab coat or synthetic apron. Gloves. Personal Protection in Case of a Large Spill Exposure Limits Splash goggles. Full suit. Boots. Gloves. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist BEFORE handling this product. Section 9. Physical and Chemical Properties Physical state and appearance Liquid.

Toxicological Information Routes of Entry Toxicity to Animals Chronic Effects on Humans Other Toxic Effects on Humans Toxicity to Animals Chronic Effects on Humans other Toxic Effects on Humans Skin contact. Eye contact. Acute oral toxicity (LD5): 6726 mg/kg (Mouse) (Calculated value for the mixture). MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Mutagenic for mammalian somatic cells. [Potassium chloride]. Mutagenic for bacteria and/or yeast. [Potassium chloride]. Contains material which may cause damage to the following organs: blood, cardiovascular system. Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of ingestion. Non-hazardous in case of inhalation. May affect genetic material. Passes through the placental barrier in animal. (Potassium chloride) Acute Potential Health Effects: Skin: May cause skin irritation Eye: Can cause eye irritation. Inhalation: Not expected to be an inhalation hazard for usual industrial handling. If product is misted, inhalation of the mist may cause respiratory tract irritation. Ingestion: May affect behavior (coma, change in motor activity, listlessness, vertigo, mental confusion, paresthesias, general weakness, flaccid paralysis), metabolism, blood (change in clotting factor, electrolytic imbalance), cardiovascular (hypotension, circulatory disturbances, cardiac arrhythmias, heart block), and respiratory, gastrointestinal (irritation of GI tract, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, purging), and urinary(impairment of renal function) systems. Acute potassium intoxication by mouth is rare because large single doses usually induce vomiting, and because in the absence of pre-existing kidney damage potassium is rapidly excreted. Maximal nontoxic oral dose of KCl in man varies from.2g to 1 g of potassium/kg/day depending upon efficiency of individual excretory mechanism; lower doses sometimes cause impairment of renal function as shown by reduced inulin, and urea clearance. Chronic Potential Health Effects: May affect blood and cardiovascular system. Section 12. Ecological Information Ecotoxicity BOD5 and COD Products of Biodegradation Toxicity of the Products of Biodegradation the Products of Biodegradation Possibly hazardous short term degradation products are not likely. However, long term degradation products may arise. The product itself and its products of degradation are not toxic. Section 13. Disposal Considerations Waste Disposal Waste must be disposed of in accordance with federal, state and local environmental control regulations.
