EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: white to cream chunks.
Caution! May cause eye and skin irritation. May
cause respiratory and digestive tract irritation. May cause
respiratory and digestive tract irritation. Light sensitive.
Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the air). The toxicological
properties of this material have not been fully investigated.
Target Organs: Thyroid.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation.
Skin:
May cause skin irritation.
Ingestion:
Ingestion of large amounts may cause gastrointestinal irritation.
The toxicological properties of this substance have not been fully
investigated. Chronic ingestion of iodides during pregnancy has
resulted in fetal death, severe goiter, and cretinoid appearance of
the newborn.
Inhalation:
May cause respiratory tract irritation. The toxicological properties
of this substance have not been fully investigated.
Chronic:
Chronic exposure can lead to iodism characterized by headache,
excess salivation, nasal discharge, conjunctivitis, laryngitis,
bronchitis, stomatitis, enlarged submaxillary glands, and skin
rashes. Chronic ingestion of iodides during pregnancy has resulted
in fetal death, severe goiter, and cretinoid appearance of the
newborn.
