6. HEALTH HAZARD DATA:
EYE: May cause severe irritation with corneal injury which may result in permanent impairment of vision, even blindness.
SKIN CONTACT: Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause severe skin burns.
SKIN ABSORPTION: The dermal L05O has not been determined.'
INGESTION: Single dose oral toxicity is believed to be low. The oral LD50 for rats is expected to be about 2000 mg/kg. Ingestion may cause burns of mouth and throat. Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal irritation or ulceration. Signs and symptoms of excessive exposure may be nausea and/or vomiting.
INHALATION: Vapors or mists may cause irritation of the respiratory tract.
SYSTEMIC OTHER EFFECTS: Anemia has been observed in humans and animals after repeated ingestion of zinc salts. Similar zinc salts did not cause birth defects in animals; other effects were seen in the fetus at doses which also caused toxic effects to the mother. In animal studies, excessive doses of similar zinc compounds have interfered with reproduction in females. Has been shown to be negative in some in vitro ("test tube") mutagenicity tests and positive in others.
7. FIRST AID:
EYES: Immediate and continuous irrigation with flowing water for at least 30 minutes is imperative. Prompt medical consultation is essential.
