| Section VI: Heath Hazard Information |
| Safe-Vue™ white smoke can be used without hazard if applied as directed. The main effects of the smoke are some
minimal irritation of the throat, an awareness of an odd odor, and the appearance of smoke. These effects act as a warning and
are desirable to prevent voluntary overexposure. Individuals should be urged not to accept exposures that cause minor irritation,
but to leave the area and ventilate well to dissipate the smoke. Persons with respiratory ailments must never be exposed to
any smoke. Warning: the #10-200 and #10-210 Smoke Grenades generate huge volumes of white smoke that would
quickly accumulate to concentrations hazardous in confined spaces. Never use these items in an interior or enclosed space.
Ingestion: Not a significant route of exposure.
Eye Contact: Acute exposure is not likely to
induce eye irritation.
Skin Absorption: Not a significant route of exposure.
Inhalation: Acute exposure can cause irritation of the
respiratory tract and mucous membranes. Irritation is a
warning property of smoke materials. In itself irritation is not
usually regarded as a toxic effect unless it is sufficient to cause
inflammation and then inflammation, not irritation, is the toxic effect.
Effects of Overexposure: Irritation of the respiratory passages; cough; nausea. Gross overexposure to dense
smoke concentrations could result in throat irritation and mucous membrane congestion requiring medical treatment.
Coughs, chills, fever and pulmonary edema can result from overwhelming exposure. Increasingly severe overexposure is likely
to result in increasingly severe irritation and inflammation to all mucous membranes contacted by the smoke with most
severe effects usually appearing in the respiratory tract.
FIRST AID: Remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, get medical attention. |
| Section VII: Spill, Leak and Disposal
Procedures |
|
(Smoke): Ventilate area. Use local exhaust to keep exposure to a minimum. The duration of smoke would be short
and the length of exposure could be reduced further by opening doors and windows for a few minutes, if and when
smoke appears.
(Solid Product): Dispose in chemical disposal area in a manner that complies with local, state and federal regulations. |
| Section VIII: Special Protection
