Section VI – Health Hazard Data
Routes of Entry: | Inhalation: | Highly unlikely |
|
| Ingestion: | May be fatal if swallowed. |
|

| contact may cause irritation or chemical burns. |
| |
Eyes: | The electrolyte (potassium hydroxide) is corrosive; eye |
| |
| contact may cause irritation or severe chemical burns. |
| |
Acute Effects: | The electrolyte is harmful if swallowed, inhaled or |
| |
| adsorbed through the skin. It is extremely destructive to |
| |
| tissue of the mucous membranes, stomach, mouth, upper |
| |
| respiratory tract, eyes and skin. |

| Chronic exposure to lead may cause disease of the blood |
| |
| and blood forming organs, kidneys and liver, damage to |
| |
| the reproductive systems and decrease in fertility in men |
| |
