Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:YES OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE: INHALATION OF
    AIRBORNE DUST OR MIST MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE UPPER RESPIRATORY
    TRACT AND EVEN TO THE LUNG TISSUE. CADMIUM/CADMIUM HYDROXIDE: MAY
    CAUSE IRRITATION OF MUCOUS MEMBRANE S. CHRONIC EXPOSURE MAY CAUSE
    IRREVERSIBLE LUNG INJURY, KIDNEY DISEASE & OTHER ADVERSE EFFECTS.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NICKEL/NICKEL COMPOUND ARE LISTED AS
    CARCINOGENIC TO HUMANS BY IARC.
Effects of Overexposure:POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE: INHALATION CAN PRODUCE
    CHEMICAL PNEUMONIA. THIS MATERIAL IS DESTRUCTIVE TO SKIN TISSUE,
    EYE TISSUE, & MOUTH, THROAT, STOMACH TISSUES. CADMIUM/CADMIUM
    HYDROXIDE: CAN PRODUCE DRYNES S OF THE MOUTH & THROAT, HEADACHE,
    NAUSEA & DIZZINESS. INGESTION CAN CAUSE NAUSEA, VOMITING, DIARRHEA
    & ABDOMINAL CRAMPS
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure: SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
*  First Aid Measures  *
    WASH SKIN TISSUE WITH WATER. IF PATIENT IS CONSCIOUS GIVE LARGE
    QUANTITIES OF WATER. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. GET EMERGENCY MEDICAL
    ATTENTI ON.
*  Fire Fighting Measures  *
Extinguishing Media:USE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA APPROPIATE FOR SURROUNDING
    FIRES.
Fire Fighting Procedures:FIRE FIGHTERS SHOULD WEAR PROPER PROTECTIVE
    EQUIPMENT AND A FULL FACED SELF CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS
    OPERATED IN THE POSITIVE PRESSURE MODE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CONTACT WITH STRONG OXIDIZERS MAY CAUSE
    FIRE OE EXPLOSION. CADMIUM FUMES OR VAPOR ARE TOXIC AND CAN CAUSE
    DEATH.
