Hazards Identification Potential Acute Health Effects Potential Chronic Health Effects Very hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of eye contact (irritant), of ingestion. Hazardous in case of skin contact (corrosive), of eye contact (corrosive), of inhalation. Liquid or spray mist may produce tissue damage particularly on mucous membranes of eyes, mouth and respiratory tract. Skin contact may produce burns. Inhalation of the spray mist may produce severe irritation of respiratory tract, characterized by coughing, choking, or shortness of breath. Inflammation of the eye is characterized by redness, watering, and itching. Skin inflammation is characterized by itching, scaling, reddening, or, occasionally, blistering. CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS: Classified A4 (Not classifiable for human or animal.) by ACGIH [Hydriodic Acid, 47%]. MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: TERATOGENIC EFFECTS: DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: The substance is toxic to lungs. Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage. Repeated or prolonged contact with spray mist may produce chronic eye irritation and severe skin irritation. Repeated or
Hydriodic Acid, 47% Page Number: 2 Section 4. First Aid Measures prolonged exposure to spray mist may produce respiratory tract irritation leading to frequent attacks of bronchial infection. Eye Contact Skin Contact Serious Skin Contact Inhalation Serious Inhalation Ingestion Serious Ingestion 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 immediately. In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Cold water may be used.wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical attention immediately. 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 immediately. Evacuate the victim to a safe area as soon as possible. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Seek medical attention. Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If large quantities of this material are swallowed, call a physician immediately. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. Section 5.
