Potential Acute Health Effects:
Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant, permeator), of eye contact (irritant), of
ingestion, of inhalation.
Inhalation:
May cause irritation to the respiratory tract. Symptoms may include coughing and
shortness of breath.
Ingestion:
Phosphates are slowly and incompletely absorbed when ingested, and seldom result in
systemic effects. Such effects, however, have occurred. Symptoms may include vomiting,
lethargy, diarrhea, blood chemistry effects, heart disturbances and central nervous
system effects. The toxicity of phosphates is because of their ability to sequester calcium.
1
Skin Contact:
May cause irritation with redness and pain.
Eye Contact:
May cause irritation, redness and pain.
Potential Chronic Health Effects:
May sequester calcium and cause calcium phosphate deposits in the kidneys. Chronic
ingestion or inhalation may induce systemic phosphorous poisoning. Liver damage,
kidney damage, jaw/tooth abnormalities, blood disorders and cardiovascular effects can
result.
CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available. MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Not available.
TERATOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available. DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Not available.
Repeated or prolonged exposure is not known to aggravate medical condition
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:
Persons with pre-existing skin disorders or eye problems, jaw/tooth abnormalities, or
impaired liver, kidney or respiratory function may be more susceptible to the effects of
the substance.

Explosion Hazards in Presence of Various Substances:
Risks of explosion of the product in presence of mechanical impact: Not available. Risks of
explosion of the product in presence of static discharge: Not available
Fire Extinguishing Media:
Use any means suitable for extinguishing surrounding fire.
Products of Combustion:
Not available.
Fire Hazards in Presence of Various Substances:
Not applicable.
Special Information on Fire Hazards:
Not available.
Fire Fighting Media and Instructions:
Not applicable.
Special Information:
In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained
breathing apparatus with full face piece operated in the pressure demand or other
positive pressure mode.

Engineering Controls:
Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep
airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If user operations generate dust,
fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne contaminants below the
exposure limit.
Personal Protection:
Safety glasses. Lab coat. Dust respirator. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator
or equivalent. Gloves.
Personal Protection in Case of a Large Spill:
Splash goggles. Full suit. Dust respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self-contained breathing
apparatus should be used to avoid inhalation of the product. Suggested protective
clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist BEFORE handling this product.
Personal Respirators:
For conditions of use where exposure to dust or mist is apparent and engineering
controls are not feasible, a particulate respirator (NIOSH type N95 or better filters) may
be worn. If oil particles (e.g. lubricants, cutting fluids, glycerine, etc.) are present, use a
NIOSH type R or P filter. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not
known, use a full-face positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air-purifying
respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Skin Protection:
Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing.
Eye Protection:
Use chemical safety goggles. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in
work area.
5
Ingestion:
May cause irritation of the digestive tract and may cause purging. It is slowly absorbed.
Expected to be a low ingestion hazard for usual industrial handling. Ingestion of large
doses may affect behavior/central nervous system (tetany). However, if a significant
amount of phosphate is absorbed, hypophosphatemia will occur. Severe
hypophosphatemia may result in hypocalcemia and tetany. Cardiovascular, respiratory,
neurologic, and musculoskeletal effects may occur secondary to hypernatremia,
hypophosphatemia, and hypocalcemia.
Chronic Potential Health Effects:
Skin: High and repeated exposure may cause dermatitis.
