Safety Data Sheet
Verdi Green A316
4.1 Description of necessary first-aid measures
General advice Avoid all contact. Corrosive to skin, eyes and mucous membranes.
If inhaled If breathed in, move person into fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration. Consult a physician.
In case of skin contact Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Consult a physician.
In case of eye contact Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and consult a
physician.
If swallowed Drink 1 or 2 glasses of water. Do NOT induce vomiting. Get medical
attention immediately if symptoms occur.

Summary of evaluation of the CMR properties
Symptoms of exposure may include burning sensation, coughing, wheezing, laryngitis, shortness of
breath headache, nausea, and vomiting. It causes conjunctivitis leading eventually to an allergic type of
reaction of the eyes. Acute selenium poisoning produces central nervous system effects, which include
nervousness, convulsions, and drowsiness. Other signs of gastrointestinal distress, teeth that are
discolored or decayed, odorous (garlic-like) breath, and partial loss of hair and nails. Chronic exposure by
inhalation can produce symptoms that include pallor, coating of the tongue, anemia, irritation of the
mucosa, lumbar pain, liver and spleen damage, as well as any of the other previously mentioned
symptoms.
