Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE: INHALATION:
    EXPECTED TO BE A LOW HAZARD FOR USUAL INDUSTRIAL OR COMMERCIAL
    HANDLING BY TRAINED PERSONNEL. MIST IRRITATING. IN CONTACT WITH
    STRONG ACIDS OR IF HEATED, SULFITES MAY  LIBERATE SULFUR DIOXIDE
    GAS.  SULFUR DIOXIDE GAS IS IRRITATING TO THE RESPIRATORY TRACT.
    SOME ASTHMATICS OR HYPERSENSITIVE INDIVIDUALS MAY EXPERIENCE
    DIFFICULT BREATHING. EYES: CAUSES BURNS. SKIN: CAU SES BURNS. MAY
    CAUSE ALLERGIC SKIN REACTION. MAY CAUSE SKIN DEPIGMENTATION.
    INGESTION: HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED. MAY CAUSE BURNS OF THE
    GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT IF SWALLOWED.
