11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Health Affects:

Acute

Swallowed:

Because of its alkalinity in the undiluted state,

Low Foam H.F. is irritating to the gastro-intestinal tract if

swallowed.

Eye:

Strongly irritating to the eyes.

Skin:

Principal route of exposure is usually by skin contact.

One component may be absorbed by the skin and is capable

of causing skin reactions. Irritating to the skin on contact.

Inhalation:

Risk is low if product is used as directed, but

breathing of concentrated vapour should be avoided.

Symptoms of excessive inhalation include irritation of mucous

membranes and respiratory system, headache and nausea.

Avoid generating a mist which may cause coughing.

Health Affects –

Chronic

: Repeated or prolonged skin contact

may cause burns, swelling, blistering or dermatitis.
