V. HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION
SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE
(for each potential route of exposure):
INHALED:
Not expected due to nature of product.
CONTACT WITH SKIN OR EYES:
Would be irritating to eyes.
ABSORBED THROUGH SKIN:
Could be mildly irritating to skin.
SWALLOWED:
Large doses may cause gastrointestinal distress.
HEALTH EFFECTS OR RISKS FROM EXPOSURE
ACUTE:
Contains dilute acids. Could be a mild irritant. The concentration of all the ingredients
are less than 1% each. There is no specific information available for diluted FOLIN reagent. The
diluted solution does contain dilute acids and heavy metals: SAX, 5th Ed. lists Molybdenum as
“slightly toxic” and tungsten is listed as somewhat more toxic than molybdenum but “does not
constitute an important health hazard”.
CHRONIC:
To the best of our knowledge, the chemical, physical, and toxicological properties
have not been thoroughly investigated for FOLIN reagent.
FIRST AID: EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
EYE CONTACT:
Flush with large volumes of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting the upper and
lower lids occasionally. Get medical attention.
SKIN CONTACT:
Remove any contaminated clothing. Wash skin with plenty of flowing water for
