Health Effects
Enter text or highlight term...
Acute Health Effects: From MSDS
HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview: This material is a milky white liquid with a flash point greater than 200� F. This material is used as a mildew remover and is an EPA registered pesticide.
Primary Routes of Exposure:
Inhalation
Skin Contact
Eye Contact
POTENTIAL ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
Eye: May cause eye irritation.
Skin: May cause skin irritation.
Ingestion: Not determined.
Inhalation: May cause respiratory tract irritation.
Final Use Product (diluted): In addition to the above information, warnings and handling precautions provided by the producer of household bleach used to prepare the final use product should also be read and followed to minimize the risk of injury.
Chronic Health Effects: From MSDS
This product contains Sodium O-Phenylphenate. Some substituted phenols have been shown to cause depigmentation (white patches on skin), even at diluted concentrations. O-Phenylphenol (OPP) has an important structural difference from the substituted phenol associated with depigmentation. OPP has been reported to produce depigmentation in experimental animals when given orally, but not by skin contact, and in humans only at concentrations that are also significantly irritating to the skin. OPP has not been found to cause depigmentation when present at concentrations used in disinfectant formulations.
Carcinogenicity: From MSDS
Sodium O-Phenylphenate has been identified by IARC as an animal carcinogen. Rats developed an increased incidence of bladder tumors in lifetime feeding experiments. IARC currently classifies Sodium O-Phenylphenate as a possible human carcinogen (Group 2B).
First Aid: From MSDS
Eye contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for 30 minutes. Call a physician immediately. Lift the upper and lower eyelid occasionally. Get immediate medical attention.
Skin contact: Immediately flush skin with plenty of running water for 30 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. If needed, seek medical attention.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. If conscious give plenty of water or milk. Get immediate medical attention. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Give artificial respiration if person is not breathing. Get medical attention if symptoms persist.
Exposure to Final Product (diluted): In addition to the above, follow emergency and first aid procedures for exposures to bleach.
