182    FERROUS FLUOROBORATE

                Health Hazards Information - Recommended Personal Protective Equipment: Dust mask, goggles or
                face shield, protective gloves; Symptoms Following Exposure: Inhalation of dust may cause irritation
                of nose and throat. Ingestion causes burning pain in throat and stomach; mucous membranes turn white;
                can also cause vomiting, weak pulse, collapse, and death. Dust irritates eyes and may irritate skin on
                prolonged contact; General Treament for Exposure: (must be prompt) INHALATION: move to fresh
                air; get medical attention if any symptoms persist. INGESTION: give immediately by mouth a dilute
                solution of any soluble calcium salt (calcium lactate, lime water, chalk solution, or even milk); large
                amounts of calcium are required; give gastric lavage with dilute lime water; consult physician. Watch
                for edema of the glottis and constriction of esophagus. EYES: flush with water for at least 15 min.
                SKIN: flush with water; Toxicity by Inhalation (ThresholdLimit Value): Data not available; Short-Term

                pallor, cyanosis, rapid or weak pulse, shallow respiration, low blood pressure; General Treatmentfor
                Exposure: INGESTION: give milk immediately and then induce vomiting by stroking the pharynx with
                a blunt object such as a spoon handle.  Gastric lavage with 1 pint of 5 W aqueous solution of mono- or
                disodium phosphate if promptly available; otherwise use water. Get medical attention; Toxicity by
