Section 3. Hazards Identification Potential Acute Health Effects Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of eye contact (irritant), of ingestion, of inhalation. Potential Chronic Health Effects CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS: MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: TERATOGENIC EFFECTS: DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: The substance may be toxic to blood. Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage.

2 Ribavirin Page Number: 2 Section 4. First Aid Measures Eye Contact Skin Contact Serious Skin Contact Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 5 minutes. Get medical attention if irritation occurs. Wash with soap and water. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Get medical attention if irritation develops. Inhalation Serious Inhalation If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention. Ingestion Serious Ingestion Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. Get medical attention if symptoms appear. Section 5. Fire and Explosion Data Flammability of the Product Auto-Ignition Temperature Flash Points Flammable Limits Products of Combustion Fire Hazards in Presence of Various Substances May be combustible at high temperature. These products are carbon oxides (CO, CO2), nitrogen oxides (NO, NO2...). Slightly flammable to flammable in presence of heat. Explosion Hazards in Presence of Various Substances Risks of explosion of the product in presence of mechanical impact: Risks of explosion of the product in presence of static discharge: Fire Fighting Media and Instructions Fire Hazards Explosion Hazards SMALL FIRE: Use DRY chemical powder. LARGE FIRE: Use water spray, fog or foam. Do not use water jet. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes. Section 6. Accidental Release Measures Small Spill Large Spill Use appropriate tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and dispose of according to local and regional authority requirements. Use a shovel to put the material into a convenient waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and allow to evacuate through the sanitary system.

Toxicological Information Routes of Entry Toxicity to Animals Chronic Effects on Humans Other Toxic Effects on Humans Toxicity to Animals Chronic Effects on Humans other Toxic Effects on Humans Inhalation. Ingestion. Acute oral toxicity (LD50): 2700 mg/kg [Rat (Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemicals)]. May cause damage to the following organs: blood. Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of ingestion, of inhalation. May affect genetic material (mutagenic). May cause adverse reproductive effects and birth defects (teratogenic) Acute Potential Health Effects: Skin: May cause skin irritation. Eyes: May cause eye irritation. Inhalation: May cause respiratory tract (nose, throat) irritation, nasal congestion. May also cause nause, fatigue, bronchospasm, dizziness. Aggravation and worsening of respiratory function apnea, and dyspnea may occur in persons with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or asthma. Rash, erythema of the eyelids, and conjunctivitis may also occur. Ingestion: May cause abdominal cramps Chronic Potential Health Effects: Ingestion: Prolonged or repeated ingestion may affect the blood (normocytic anemia, leukopenia, changes in platelet count), bone marrow, metabolism (weight loss).
