Section 4 - Spill, Leak, and Disposal Procedures
Action to Take for Spills: (use appropriate safety equipment) Flush
area with plenty of water. May be slick on hard surfaces.
Disposal Method: Keep out of drinking water sources. Dispose in
accordance with local, state, and federal environmental regulations.
Section 5 - Health Hazard Data
Ingestion: Low single dose oral toxicity.
Eye Contact: Moderate irritation and possible temporary corneal injury.
Skin Contact: Single short exposure - no irritation likely. Repeated
prolonged exposure can cause moderate to severe irritation, even a
minor chemical burn.
Skin Absorption: Not likely to be absorbed through the skin in toxic
amounts.
Inhalation: TLV 10 mg / m3 for magnesium chloride. 8 hours time
weighted average.
Effects of Overexposure: Moderate to severe irritation, possible minor
chemical burn.
Section 6 - First Aid - Note to Physician
First Aid Procedures:
Eyes: Irrigation of eye immediately with water for five minutes is good
safety practice.
Skin: In case of contact immediately flush skin with plenty of water
for 10 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing. Wash clothing before
reuse. Consult a physician.
Inhalation: Move to fresh air if effects occur. Consult a physician if
effects continue.
Ingestion: If swallowed, induce vomiting immediately by giving two
glasses of water and sticking finger down throat. Call a physician.
Note to Physician:
Eyes: May cause corneal injury. Stain for evidence of corneal injury.
If cornea is burned apply antibiotic and steroid preparation. Consult
ophthalmologist.
Skin: May cause moderate irritation. Treat as contact dermatitis. If
burn is present treat as chemical burn.
Respiratory: May cause mild irritation.
Oral: Low in toxicity.
General: Consult standard literature. No specific antidote. Treatment
based on the sound judgment of the physician and the individual
reactions of the patient.
Section 7 - Special Handling Information
Ventilation: If needed, use general or local ventilation to control
mists and aerosols.
Respiratory Protection: None normally needed. Use acid mist respirator
if requested.
Eye Protection: Eye fountain near work area. Use safety glasses or
chemical goggles.
Protective Clothing: Clean, body covering clothing. Hands and face
coverings may be required depending on severity of possible exposure.
