5 Probably not carcinogenic. May have :The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) hasdetermined that occupational exposure to strong inorganic acid mistcontaining sulphuric acid is carcinogenic to humans. Thisclassification is for inorganic acid mist only and does not apply tosulphuric acid or sulphuric acid CHEMICALSMATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEETPage 5 of 8 ALUMINIUM SULPHATEDate of Issue: Jan 2001 Teratogenicity and embriotoxicity No human :No specific data. Aluminium salts are not known to be for accumulation:Ingested material is not easily absorbed. It reacts with phosphateforming an insoluble compound which is easily passed out of thebody.

6 Inhaled dust may accumulate in the lungs until slowly Aid Inhalation:Remove from exposure - seek medical aidSkin:Wash with plenty of water. Remove contaminated :Irrigate eyes with copious quantities of water, seek medical :Drink plenty of water - do not induce give anything by mouth if victim is rapidly loosingconsciousness. Quickly transport victim to medical to physician:Treat symptomatically.
