Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NOOSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ALTHOUGH WELL BUFFERED THE LOW PH OF
    2.0 MAKES IT LIKELY THAT EYE, SKIN AND LUNG IRRITATION WILL OCCUR
    IF THERE IS SIGNIFICANT SPLASH. POTASSIUM NITRATE IS A
    METHEMOGLOBIN FORMER. IF INGESTED OR INHAL ED IN LARGE AMOUNTS
    SHORTNESS OF BREATH, CYANOSIS AND DEATH MAY OCCUR.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT RELEVANT.
Effects of Overexposure:BURNING AND PAIN AND REDNESS OF EYES, SKIN.
    COUGH AND WHEEZING. SHORTNESS OF BREATH, BROWN-BLUE CYANOSIS,
    COLLAPSE.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:DERMATITIS, BRONCHITIS, RHINITIS,
    OTHER OXYGEN EXCLUSION POISONINGS LIKE CARBON MONOXIDE OR CYANIDE
    POISONING.
*  First Aid Measures  *
First Aid:TERMINATE EXPOSURE. GET MEDICAL HELP IF COLLAPSE OCCURS!
    INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. SKIN: FLUSH THOROUGHLY WITH WATER.
    I MMEDIATELY .
