Damp Rid Moisture Absorbers
SAFETY DATA SHEET
01/06/2016Supersedes Revision:
Any skin condition that disrupts the skin, such as abrasions, cuts,
psoriasis, fungal infections, etc. Any upper respiratory conditions that compromise
mucosa can increase local damage
from dust contact. Any eye condition that compromises tear production, conjunctiva, or
normal corneal homeostasis.
Medical Conditions Generally
Aggravated By Exposure:
ACUTE INHALATION, SKIN CONTACT, EYE CONTACT: May cause irritation.
INGESTION: Harmful if swallowed.
CHRONIC EFFECTS: Chronic exposures to calcium chloride that cause irritation may
cause a chronic dermatitis or mucosal membrane problem.
For the minor component(s): POTASSIUM CHLORIDE: In animals, effects have been
reported on the following organs after ingestion: Gastrointestinal tract, heart, and kidney.
Dose levels producing these effects were many times higher than any dose levels
expected from exposure due to use. SODIUM CHLORIDE: Medical experience with
sodium chloride has shown a strong association between elevated blood pressure and
prolonged dietary overuse. Related effects could occur in the kidneys.
Target Organs: Stomach, Upper Respiratory Tract
Primary Routes of Entry: Ingestion, Inhalation

Information
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
INHALATION: Remove from exposure area to fresh air.
SKIN CONTACT: Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash affected area with
soap or mild detergent. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
EYE CONTACT: Flush eyes with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Get
medical attention.
INGESTION: Get medical attention.
Emergency and First Aid
Procedures:
Acute Symptoms/Effects: Listed below.
Inhalation (Breathing): Inhaling dust may cause irritation to upper respiratory tract (nose
and throat). Nasal mucosal and oropharyngeal eythema.
Skin: Skin Irritation. Direct abrasion of skin from solid, erythema and burn from reaction
with water. Prolonged contact and occlusion may cause more severe symptoms.
Damage is localized to contact areas.
Eye: Eye Irritation. Direct abrasion of cornea from solid, erythema and burn from reaction
with water, conjunctival swelling and cornea opacification from hypertonic solution and
heat. Corneal eye pain, redness, acute corneal thickening or whitening.
Ingestion (Swallowing): Consumption of solids or hypertonic solutions causes nausea,
vomiting, and increased thirst.
