Personal Health Effects:
WARNING
Mercury is a dangerous poison and an extreme contact
hazard. Mercury may be absorbed by the skin or through
the eyes. It may be fatal if swallowed or inhaled. It emits
toxic vapors, especially when heated. Do not get mercury
in your eyes, on your skin or on your clothing. Do not
breathe mercury dust. Keep mercury in a tightly closed
container. Use with adequate ventilation. Wash
thoroughly after handling.
Effects of overexposure
Mercury causes skin, digestive tract and severe
respiratory tract irritation. It may affect the central
nervous system and cause severe eye irritation.
Inhalation of vapors may cause coughing, chest pains,
nausea and vomiting.
Chronic effects of overexposure may include kidney
and/or liver damage, and central nervous system
depression. Chronic effects of mercury poisoning include
a buildup of the metal in the brain, liver and kidneys.
Symptoms include headache, tremors, loose teeth, loss
of appetite, blisters on the skin and impaired memory.
This substance has caused adverse reproductive and
fetal effects in animals.
Target organs
Eyes, skin, respiratory system, central nervous system,
kidneys and liver.
Routes of entry
Inhalation, absorption, eye contact, skin contact.
4. Emergency and First Aid Measures
Call a physician immediately.
If swallowed:
Immediately induce vomiting, if person is conscious.
If inhaled:
Immediately remove exposed person to fresh air. If the person
is not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is

Immediately flush eyes or skin with plenty of water for at least
15 minutes, while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Wash clothing before using again.
