Give cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) if there is no breathing AND no pulse. Obtain medical attention IMMEDIATELY. Inhalation: Prompt removal of the material from the skin is essential. Remove all contaminated clothing and immediately wash the exposed areas with copious amounts of soap and water for a minimum of 30 minutes or up to 60 minutes for critical body areas. Immerse the exposed part immediately in ice water to relieve pain and to prevent swelling and blistering. Place cold packs, ice or wet cloths on the burned area if immersion is not possible. Cover the exposed part with a clean, preferably sterile, lint-free dressing. Obtain medical attention IMMEDIATELY and monitor breathing and treat for shock for severe exposure. Skin Contact: Immediately flush eyes with running water for a minimum of 20 minutes. Hold eyelids open during flushing. If irritation persists, repeat flushing. Obtain medical attention IMMEDIATELY. Do not transport victim until the recommended flushing period is completed unless flushing can be continued during transport. Eye Contact: Do not attempt to give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If victim is alert and not convulsing, rinse mouth out and give 1/2 to 1 glass of water to dilute material. IMMEDIATELY contact local Poison Control Centre. Vomiting should only be induced under the direction of a physician or a poison control centre. If spontaneous vomiting occurs, have victim lean forward with head down to avoid breathing in of vomitus, rinse mouth and administer more water. IMMEDIATELY transport victim to an emergency facility. Ingestion: Corrosive! Causes skin and eye burns. Harmful if inhaled or swallowed. Dust is irritating to respiratory tract. Can decompose at high temperatures forming toxic gases. Strong oxidizer. Contact with other combustible material can cause fire. EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS Corrosive! Product may cause severe irritation of the nose, throat and respiratory tract. Repeated and/or prolonged exposures may cause productive cough, running nose, bronchopneumonia, pulmonary oedema (fluid build-up in lungs), and reduction of pulmonary function. Brief contact with the dust causes irritation. Greater exposure causes severe burns. In the presence of moisture (perspiration, humidity, tears), the dust dissolves to form a corrosive solution which may cause burns. (3) May cause nosebleeds. See "Other Health Effects" Section. Inhalation: Corrosive! Brief contact with the dust causes irritation. Greater exposure causes severe burns. In the presence of moisture (perspiration, humidity, tears), the dust dissolves to form a corrosive solution which may cause burns. (3) Prolonged and repeated contact may lead to dermatitis. Skin Contact: Not likely to be absorbed through the skin. In the presence of moisture (perspiration, humidity, tears), the dust dissolves to form a solution which may cause burns. Skin Absorption: Corrosive! Material combines with moisture in the eye to form a weak sulphuric acid solution. This product causes immediate pain, severe burns and permanent corneal damage which may result in blindness. May cause corneal damage and conjunctivitis. Eye Contact: Corrosive! This product causes irritation, a burning sensation of the mouth, throat and respiratory tract and abdominal pain. May cause hemorrhagic gastritis. Ingestion: Corrosive effects on the skin and eyes may be delayed, and damage may occur without the sensation or onset of pain. Strict adherence to first aid measures following any exposure is essential. Potassium salts have a potential risk of hyperkalemia which can cause cardiac arrhythmia. Symptoms of potassium poisoning may occur. These include slow heartbeat, accelerated breathing, muscle weakness and, in severe cases, paralysis. Other Health Effects: Oxone PS16 Monopersulphate, Solid Brenntag Canada Inc. Date of Revision: 2008 September 22 WHMIS Number : 00065918 Page 3 of 8 Due to the severely irritating or corrosive nature of the material, swallowing may lead to ulceration and inflammation of the upper alimentary tract with hemorrhage and fluid loss. Also, perforation of the esophagus or stomach may occur, leading to mediastinitis or peritonitis and the resultant complications. (3) Mucosal injury following ingestion of this corrosive material may contraindicate the induction of vomiting in the treatment of possible intoxication. Similarly, if gastric lavage is performed, intubation should be done with great care. If oral burns are present or a corrosive ingestion is suspected by the patient's history, perform esophagoscopy as soon as possible. Scope should not be passed beyond the first burn because of the risk of perforation. Potassium salts have a potential risk of hyperkalemia which can cause cardiac arrhythmia. In addition to calcium levels, potassium and phosphate levels should be monitored. Also consider continuous EKG monitoring to detect hyperkalemia. Vasopressor drugs (e.g. epinephrine, ephedrine etc.) should not be given on their own as there may be danger of cardiac arrhythmia. (7) Medical conditions that may be aggravated by exposure to this product include neurological, cardiovascular and skin disorders, diseases of the skin, eyes or respiratory tract Note to Physicians: 5.

Carcinogenicity Data: No adverse reproductive effects are anticipated. Reproductive Data: No adverse mutagenic effects are anticipated. Mutagenicity Data: No adverse teratogenic effects are anticipated. Teratogenicity Data: Potassium Hydrogen Peroxymonosulphate Sulphate may cause skin sensitization or other allergic responses. Sensitization is the process whereby a biological change occurs in the individual because of previous exposure to a substance and, as a result, the individual reacts more strongly when subsequently exposed to the substance. Once sensitized, an individual can react to extremely low airborne levels, even below the TLV, or to skin contact. See "Other Studies Relevant to Material". Respiratory / Skin Sensitization Data: None known. Synergistic Materials: Oxone Monopersulphate is a skin and eye corrosive, but is not a skin sensitizer in animals. Skin contact with the product may cause allergic skin reactions in sensitive individuals. Human patch tests with the product diluted in water at concentrations up to 150 ppm did not cause allergic skin reaction. (3) Single exposures by inhalation to Oxone Monopersulphate produced nonspecific effects such as weight loss and slight respiratory irritation. Repeated inhalation exposures produced eye irritation and reversible corneal damage. (3) Administration of large single ingestion doses of Oxone Monopersulphate produced nonspecific effects such as weight loss and irritation, as well as gastric ulceration, necrosis and hemorrhage. Repeated administration of Oxone Monopersulphate at a combined dosage of 1 000 / 600 mg/kg for 13 weeks caused pathological changes of the stomach, body weight loss, gasping, noisy respiration and hunched posture. There were no toxic effects noted at 20 or 200 mg/kg and the no-observed-adverse-effect- level (NOAEL) is considered to be 200 mg/kg. (3) Tests for carcinogenic activity, developmental and reproductive toxicity have not been performed. A range-finding developmental toxicity study showed developmental effects only at exposure levels producing other toxic effects in the adult animal. (3) Oxone Monopersulphate did not produce genetic damage in bacterial cell cultures. Oxone Monopersulphate did not produce genetic damage in mammalian cell cultures. It did not produce genetic damage in tests on animals, but showed some evidence of bone marrow cell toxicity in female mice. (3) Other Studies Relevant to Material: 12.
