HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION EMERGENCY OVERVIEW Yellow to yellow-brown granular solid that may cause slight to moderate irritation to the eyes. See below for route-specific details. POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS Eye Irritation: Skin Irritation: This formulation is not considered to be an inhalation hazard due to the coarse granular nature. May cause slight to moderate irritation. Non-irritating to the skin of rabbits. Moderately toxic. 4. FIRST AID MEASURES Eye Contact: Remove victim to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration preferably mouth-to-mouth. Get professional medical attention immediately. Hold eyelids open and flush with water for minutes until no evidence of chemical remains. Get professional medical attention.
