May be fatal if inhaled, swallowed, or absorbed through the
skin or eyes. Contact with acids or weak alkalies liberates
poisonous gas. May cause eye burns and skin irritation and
rashes. May cause rapid respirations .and pulse, reddened
eyes, flushed skin, weakness, headache, dizziness,
confusion, nausea and vomiting. These may be followed by
unconsciousness, convulsions, cessation of breathing, loss
of blood pressure, heart beat irregularities, dilation of
pupils and death. The lungs may fill with liquid.
SODIUM CYANIDE:
Skin contact with Sodium cyanide may cause skin irritation
with discomfort or rash; strong solutions may cause skin
burns or ulceration. Evidence suggests that significant
skin permeation can occur in amounts capable of producing
systemic toxicity. There are no reports of human
sensitization.
Eye contact with Sodium cyanide may cause eye irritation
with discomfort, tearing, or blurring of .vision. Prolonged
exposure may cause eye corrosion with corneal or
conjunctival ulceration.
Inhalation, ingestion or skin contact of Sodium cyanide may
cause nonspecific discomfort such as:
