SECTION 4: First-aid measures

4.1Description of necessary first-aid measures

If inhaled

Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.

no data available

4.3Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary

Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

If ingested in large amounts nausea, vomiting and diarrhea are probable. Thought to be hydrolyzed to (ortho)phosphates before absorption. If appreciable amounts of the intact polymer are absorbed from the alimentary tract, hypocalcemic tetany may be a danger due to the binding (chelation) of ionized calcium. Hypocalcemic tetany apparently occurred in one ingestion episode. Tripolyphosphate
