Safety Warning
Low-toxic inorganic salt. Dust irritates eyes and respiratory tract; high-concentration aqueous solution causes skin dehydration irritation. Wear dust mask and protective gloves during operation. Seal tightly to avoid deliquescence and caking. Avoid mixing with fluoride-containing materials to produce insoluble calcium fluoride. Waste residues can be diluted and treated as general inorganic waste.
