Special Remarks on
other Toxic Effects on Humans:
Acute Potential
Health Effects:
Skin:
Causes mild
skin irritation. There is no significant skin irritation hazard for low level
(usual) industrial handling or exposure
Eyes:
Di
Potassium
Phosphate Causes eye
irritation.
Inhalation:
Di
Potassium Phosphate Causes
respiratory tract and mucous membrane irritation. There is no significant
inhalation hazard for low level (usual) industrial handling or exposure.
Ingestion:
Phosphates are toxic because of their ability to sequester calcium, but they
are slowly and incompletely
absorbed when ingested, and seldom result in systemic effects. Furthermore,
acute potassium poisoning by mouth is rare because large single doses usually
induce vomiting and because in the absence of pre-existing kidney damage,
potassium is rapidly excreted. However, such effects have occurred. Symptoms may
include gastrointestinal tract irritation (gastroenteritis) with nausea,
vomiting, abdominal discomfort, diarrhea. May affect behavior/central nervous
system (somnolence, listlessness, mental confusion, convulsions), metabolism
(anorexia), cardiovascular system (fall of blood pressure, cardiac arrhythmias,
heart block), kidneys (polyuria, polydipsia). May cause mineral imbalance and
affect osmotic pressure of body fluids. Other clinical signs and symptoms of
oral over dosage may include: paresthesias of the extremities, weakness or
heaviness of the legs, flaccid paralysis, cold skin, gray pallor.
