Section 3 - Hazards Identification
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: clear light-blue liquid.
Warning! Harmful if swallowed. May cause allergic skin reaction. May cause blood abnormalities. May
cause severe eye and skin irritation with possible burns. May cause respiratory and digestive tract irritation
and possible burns. May cause adverse reproductive effects. May cause liver and kidney damage.
Target Organs: Blood, kidneys, liver.
Potential Health Effects
Eye: May result in corneal injury. Contact with eyes may cause severe irritation, and possible eye burns.
Contact with the eye may cause conjunctivitis, edema of the eyelids, and ulceration and turbidity of cornea.
Skin: May cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this
material. Contact with the skin may cause severe irritation and necrosis. May produce eczematoid contact
dermatitis.
Ingestion: Ingestion of large amounts of copper salts may cause bloody stools and vomit, low blood
pressure, jaundice and coma. Ingestion of sodium citrate may produce alkalosis and may cause tetany or
depress the heart by decreasing the calcium level of the blood. Ingestion may produce corrosion of the GI
tract, vomiting, diarrhea, circulatory collapse, and death. Ingestion of copper compounds may produce
systemic toxic effects to the kidney and liver and central nervous excitation followed by depression.
Inhalation: Inhalation of fumes may cause metal fume fever, which is characterized by flu-like symptoms
with metallic taste, fever, chills, cough, weakness, chest pain, muscle pain and increased white blood cell
count. May produce local necrosis of the mucous membranes.
