EMERGENCY OVERVIEW:
A FINE WHITE, BLUE OR RED POWDER WITH NO ODOR. HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED.
AVOID EYE CONTACT OR INHALATION OF DUST FROM THE PRODUCT. DUSTS MAY
IRRITATE THE EYES AND CAN CAUSE RESPIRATORY IRRITATION.
THIS PRODUCT IS NORMALLY NOT CONSIDERED HAZARDOUS AS SHIPPED. GLOVES
SHOULD BE WORN WHEN HANDLING TO PREVENT CONTAMINATING HANDS WITH PRODUCT
DUST.
PERSONS WITH A PACEMAKER SHOULD NOT GO NEAR WELDING OR CUTTING OPERATIONS

OVEREXPOSURE TO BRAZING AND WELDING FUMES MAY RESULT IN SYMPTOMS LIKE
METAL FUME FEVER, DIZZINESS, NAUSEA, DRYNESS OR IRRITATION OF THE NOSE,
THROAT OR EYES.

OTHER:
TOXICITY REPORTED FOR BORATES IN HUMANS: INGESTION AND ABSORPTION MAY
CAUSE NAUSEA, VOMITING, DIARRHEA, ABDOMINAL CRAMPS, AND ERYTHEMATOUS
LESIONS ON THE SKIN AND MUCOUS MEMBRANES.
OTHER SYMPTOMS INCLUDE:
CIRCULATORY COLLAPSE, TACHYCARDIA, CYANOSIS, DELIRIUM, CONVULSIONS, AND
COMA. DEATH HAS BEEN REPORTED TO OCCUR IN INFANTS FROM LESS THAN 5 GRAMS
AND IN ADULTS FROM 5 TO 20 GRAMS. LIVER - IRREGULARITIES - BASED ON HUMAN
EVIDENCE LIVER - IRREGULARITIES - BASED ON HUMAN EVIDENCE
ANIMAL FEEDING STUDIES IN RAT, MOUSE, AND DOG, AT HIGH DOSES, HAVE
DEMONSTRATED EFFECTS ON FERTILITY AND TESTES. STUDIES WITH THE
CHEMICALLY RELATED BORIC ACID IN RAT, MOUSE AND RABBIT, AT HIGH DOSES,
DEMONSTRATE DEVELOPMENTAL EFFECTS ON THE FETUS, INCLUDING FETAL WEIGHT
LOSS AND MINOR SKELETAL VARIATIONS. THE DOSES ADMINISTERED WERE MANY
TIMES IN EXCESS OF THOSE TO WHICH HUMANS WOULD NORMALLY BE EXPOSED.
HUMAN EPIDEMIOLOGICAL STUDIES SHOW NO INCREASE IN PULMONARY DISEASE
IN OCCUPATIONAL POPULATIONS WITH CHRONIC EXPOSURES TO BORIC ACID DUST
AND SODIUM BORATE DUST. A RECENT EPIDEMIOLOGICAL STUDY UNDER THE
CONDITIONS OF NORMAL OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE TO BORATE DUSTS INDICATED
NO EFFECT ON FERTILITY.
LONG TERM EFFECT:
OVEREXPOSURE TO OVEREXPOSURE TO BRAZING AND WELDING FUMES MAY AFFECT
PULMONARY FUNCTION. PROLONGED INHALATION OF NICKEL AND CHROMIUM COMPOUNDS
ABOVE SAFE EXPOSURE LIMITS CAN CAUSE CANCER. OVEREXPOSURE TO MANGANESE
AND MANGANESE COMPOUNDS ABOVE SAFE EXPOSURE LIMITS CAN CAUSE IRREVERSIBLE
DAMAGE TO THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM, INCLUDING THE BRAIN, SYMPTOMS OF
WHICH MAY INCLUDE SLURRED SPEECH, LETHARGY, TREMOR, MUSCULAR WEAKNESS,
PSYCHOLOGICAL DISTURBANCES AND SPASTIC GAIT
