| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Hazard]
Highly toxic; poison; mutagen; can cause
convulsions, changes in the respiratory system, liver
and kidneys. | [Potential Exposure]
Fluorides are used as an electrolyte in
aluminum manufacture; a flux in smelting nickel, copper,
gold, and silver; as a catalyst for organic reactions, a wood
preservative; fluoridation agent for drinking water; a
bleaching agent for cane seats; in pesticides, rodenticides,
and as a fermentation inhibitor. They are utilized in the
manufacture of steel, iron, glass, ceramics, pottery, enam els, in the coagulation of latex; in coatings for welding
rods; and in cleaning graphite, metals, windows, and glass ware. Exposure to fluorides may also occur during prepara tion of fertilizer from phosphate rock by addition of
sulfuric acid. Air pollution by fluoride dusts and gases has
done substantial damage to vegetation and to animals in the
vicinity of industrial fluoride sources. However, the contri bution of ambient air to human fluoride intake is only a
few hundredths of a milligram per day, an amount that is
insignificant in comparison with other sources of fluoride.
Operations that introduce fluoride dusts and gases into the
atmosphere include: Grinding, drying, and calcining of
fluoride-containing minerals; acidulation of the minerals;
smelting; electrochemical reduction of metals with fluoride
fluxes or melts, as in the aluminum and steel industry; kiln firing of brick and other clay products and the combustion
of coal. | [First aid]
If this chemical gets into the eyes, remove any
contact lenses at once and irrigate immediately for at least
15 minutes, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids. Seek
medical attention immediately. If this chemical contacts the
skin, remove contaminated clothing and wash immediately
with large amounts of soap and water. Seek medical atten tion immediately. If this chemical has been inhaled, remove
from exposure, begin rescue breathing (using universal pre cautions, including resuscitation mask) if breathing has
stopped and CPR if heart action has stopped. Transfer
promptly to a medical facility. When this chemical has
been swallowed, get medical attention. Give large quanti ties of water and induce vomiting. Do not make an uncon scious person vomit. Medical observation is recommended
for 24 to 48 hours after breathing overexposure, as pulmo nary edema may be delayed. As first aid for pulmonary
edema, a doctor or authorized paramedic may consider
administering a drug or other inhalation therapy. | [Incompatibilities]

Reaction of aqueous waste
with an excess of lime, followed by lagooning; and either
recovery or land disposal of the separated calcium fluoride. | [Uses]
Fluoride, Ion chromatography standard solution, Specpure|r, F|- 1000μg/ml is used as a standard solution in analytical chemistry and in ion chromatography. It is used for calibration of ion chromatography and other analytical techniques. | [Health Hazard]
Small amounts of fluoride appear to be an essential nutrient. People in the United States ingest about 2 mg/day in water and food. A concentration of about 1 mg/L in drinking water effectively reduces dental caries without harmful effects on health. Dental fluorosis can result from exposure to concentrations above 2 mg/L in children up to about 8 years of age. In its mild form, fluorosis is characterized by white opaque mottled areas on tooth surfaces. Severe fluorosis causes brown to black stains and pitting. Although the matter is controversial, the EPA has determined that dental fluorosis is a cosmetic and not a toxic or an adverse health effect. Water hardness limits fluoride toxicity to humans and fish. The severity of fluorosis decreases in harder drinking water. Crippling skeletal fluorosis in adults requires the consumption of about 20 mg or more of fluoride per day over a 20-year period. No cases of crippling skeletal fluorosis have been observed in the United States from the longterm consumption of 2 L/day of water containing 4 mg/L of fluoride. The EPA has concluded that 0.12 mg/kg/day of fluoride is protective of crippling skeletal fluorosis. Fluoride therapy, where 20 mg/day is ingested for medical purposes, is sometimes used to strengthen bone, particularly spinal bones. | [storage]
Storage color will depend on compound. Prior toworking with fluorides you should be trained on its properhandling and storage. Fluorides must be stored to avoidcontact with strong acids (i.e., hydrochloric, sulfuric, andnitric) since violent reactions can occur. Fluorides formexplosive gases on contact with nitric acid. Store in tightlyclosed containers in a cool, well-ventilated area away fromwater. |
