*  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  *
Respiratory Protection:IN THE CASE WHERE OVEREXPOSURE MAY EXIST, THE
    USE OF AN APPROVED NIOSH-MSHA DUST RESPIRATOR OR AN AIR SUPPLIED
    RESPIRATOR IS ADVISED. ENGINEERING OR ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS
    SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED TO CO NTROL DUST.
Ventilation:PROVIDE SUFFICIENT AREA OF LOCAL EXHAUST TO MAINTAIN
    EXPOSURE BELOW THE TLV-TWA.
    SHOULD BE WORN.
Other Protective Equipment:PROVIDE EYE WASH IN WORKING AREA. NORMAL
    WORK CLOTHING, COVERING ARMS AND LEGS AND RUBBER OR PLASTIC APRON
    SHOULD BE WORN.
Work Hygienic Practices:WASH HANDS THOROUGHLY WITH SOAP AND WATER AFTER
    HANDLING POTASSIUM PERMANGANATE, AND BEFORE EATING OR SMOKING. WEAR
    PROPER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING.

Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:EYE: POTASSIUM PERMANGANATE IS
    DAMAGING TO EYE TISSUE ON CONTACT. IT MAY CAUSE SEVERE BURNS THAT
    RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE EYE. SKIN: CONTACT OF SOLUTIONS AT ROOM
    TEMPERATURE MAY BE IRRITATING TO THE SK IN, LEAVING BROWN STAINS.
    CONCENTRATED SOLUTIONS AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURE AND CRYSTALS ARE
    DAMAGING TO THE SKIN. INHALATION: ACUTE INHALATIION TOXICITY DATA
    NOT AVAILABLE. HOWEVER, AIRBORNE CONCENTRATI ONS OF POTASSIUM
    PERMANGANATE IN THE FORM OF DUST OR MIST MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE
    RESPIRATORY TRACT. INGESTION: POTASSIUM PERMANANATE IF SWALLOWED
    MAY CAUSE SEVERE BURNS TO THE MUCOUS MEMBRANES OF THE  MOUTH,
    THROAT, ESOPHAGUS AND STOMACH.
Effects of Overexposure:EYE:  IT MAY CAUSE SEVERE BURNS THAT RESULT IN
    DAMAGE TO THE EYE. SKIN: LEAVING BROWN STAINS. INGESTION: POTASSIUM
    PERMANANATE IF SWALLOWED MAY CAUSE SEVERE BURNS TO THE MUCOUS
    MEMBRANES OF THE MOUTH,  THROAT, ESOPHAGUS AND STOMACH.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:POTASSIUM PERMANGANATE WILL CAUSE
    FURTHER IRRITATION OF OPEN WOUNDS, BURNS OR MUCOUS MEMBRANES.

    APART. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO NEUTRALIZE CHEMICALLY. SEEK MEDICAL AID
    IMMEDIATELY. NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: SOLUBLE DECOMPOSTION PRODUCT ARE
    ALKALINE.  INSOLUBLE DECOMPOSTION PRODUCT IS BROWN MANGANESE
    DIOXIDE. SKIN-IMMEDIATELY WASH CONTAMINATED AREAS WITH WATER.
    REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING/FOOTWEAR. SEEK MEDICAL AID IMMEDIATELY
    IF IRRITATION IS SEV ERE OR PERSISTENT. INHALATION-REMOVE PERSON
    FROM ARE TO FRESH AIR. IF BREATHING HAS STOPPED, RESUSCITATE & GIVE
    OXYGEN IF AVAILABLE. SEEK MEDICAL AID. INGESTION-IF CONSCIOUS, GIVE
    LARGE AMOUNTS OF WAT ER. SEEK MEDICAL AID IMMEDIATELY.
