Section 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
  EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin.The toxicological properties of this material have not been fully investigated.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
No information regarding eye irritation and other potential effects was found.
Skin:
No information regarding skin irritation and other potential effects was found.
Ingestion:
The toxicological properties of this substance have not been fully investigated. Exposure to fluoride compounds can result in systemic toxic effects on the heart, liver, and kidneys. It may also deplete calcium levels in the body leading to hypocalcemia and death.
Inhalation:
The toxicological properties of this substance have not been fully investigated.
Chronic:
Chronic inhalation and ingestion may cause chronic fluoride poisoning (fluorosis) characterized by weight loss, weakness, anemia, brittle bones, and stiff joints. Chronic exposure to fluoride compounds may cause systemic toxicity.
