| CAUTION: Flammable solid. Store away from heat, sparks or open flame. For use as a soil additive only. Store out of reach of children. |
| From MSDS EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSUREEYE: Exposure to dust can cause eye irritation, characterized by burning, incrimination, blurred vision, keratitis, and losses of corneal epithelium.SKIN: Exposure to dust can cause skin irritation. Symptoms include reddening, itching, and inflammation.INHALATION: Sulfur dust is irritation to mucous membranes of respiratory tract. May cause coughing, sore throat, and shortness of breath.INGESTION: Large doses can cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Ingestion of greater than 15 grams may cause production of hydrogen sulfide from bacterial action in colon. Hydrogen sulfide thus produced can cause effects on central nervous system, including convulsions, changes in blood pressure and respiration, respiratory arrest, and possibly death. |
| From MSDS Skin sensitization has been observed in some people after repeated exposures to sulfur dust. Chronic inhalation may cause bronchopulmonary disease, which may be complicated by emphysema and bronchiectasis. |
| No evidence for carcinogenicity of sulfur according to NTP, IARC, NIOSH, OSHA, or ACGIH. IARC has determined that there is limited evidence that crystalline silica is a carcinogen. |
| EYES: Immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention. SKIN: Wash affected area with soap and water.INHALATION: Remove the victim to fresh air. Administer artificial respiration if breathing has stopped. Keep victim at rest. Call for prompt medical attention. INGESTION: Never give anything by mouth to anyone who is unconscious or convulsion. Give victim about 16 ounces of water. Induce vomiting if victim is responsive. This is most effective within 30 minutes of ingestion. |
