The material is not volatile and has no known ill effects on skin, eyes, or on ingestion.  Therefore, no
special precautions are required when using the standards.  General precautions should be adopted as
required with all materials to minimize unnecessary contact. Note, however, that the chemical,
physical, and toxicological properties have not been thoroughly investigated.

INGREDIENTS

θ

Calcium Sulfate and Calcium Chloride

CAUTION

- AVOID INHALATION, SKIN CONTACT, EYE CONTACT OR INGESTION.

MAY AFFECT MUCOUS MEMBRANES.

YSI Turbidity Standard: 6073

FIRST AID:

SKIN CONTACT - Remove contaminated clothing. Wash affected area with soap or mild detergent
and water.

EYE CONTACT - Wash eyes immediately with large amounts of water (approx. 15-20 minutes),
occasionally lifting upper and lower lids.  If irritation occurs, seek medical attention immediately.

INGESTION - Rinse out mouth with large quantities of water.  If irritation occurs or reagent was
swallowed, seek medical attention as a precaution.

YSI Replacement Desiccant 065802

FIRST AID:

SKIN CONTACT - Flush with water.

EYE CONTACT - Flush with water. If irritation continues, obtain medical attention.

INGESTION - If patient is conscious, induce vomiting. Obtain medical attention.
