PRODUCE IRRITATION, LABORED BREATHING AND COUGHING. INGESTION MAY CAUSE BURNING OF MOUTH AND
THROAT, NAUSEA, VOMITING, DIARRHEA, HEMOLYSIS, HEMATURIA, KIDNEY DAMAGE WITH ANURIA, LIVER
DAMAGE WITH JAUNDICE, AND POSSIBLY HYPOTENSION, CONVULSIONS, AND UNCONSCIOUSNESS.
Chronic Effects of Overexposure:
PROLONGED OR REPEATED CONTACT WITH SKIN MAY CAUSE DERMATITIS WITH ERYTHEMATOUS, PAPULAR, AND
GRANULOMATOUS REACTIONS. INGESTION OF ZINC SALTS MAY CAUSE DIGESTIVE AND/OR RENAL DISORDERS.
VII. EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID INSTRUCTIONS:
Skin:
WASH THOROUGHLY WITH SOAP AND WATER. REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND
SHOES. CONTACT A PHYSICIAN IF IRRITATION PERSISTS.
