Exposure controlsAppropriate engineering controls

Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wash hands

before breaks and at the end of workday.

Personal protective equipment

Eye/face protection

Safety glasses with side-shields conforming to EN166 Use equipment for eye

protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as

NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).

Skin protection

Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove

removal technique (without touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact

Additional Information

RTECS: Not available

Prolonged exposure to iodides may produce iodism in sensitive individuals. Symptoms of

exposure include: skin rash, running nose, headache and irritation of the mucous

membrane. For severe cases the skin may show pimples, boils, hives, blisters and black

and blue spots. Iodides are readily diffused across the placenta. Neonatal deaths from

respiratory distress secondary to goiter have been reported. Iodides have been known to

cause drug-induced fevers, which are usually of short duration., To the best of our

knowledge, the chemical, physical, and toxicological properties have not been thoroughly

investigated.
