To the best of our knowledge the chemical, physical and toxicological properties of aluminum iodide have not been thoroughly investigated and recorded. Aluminum compounds have many commercial uses and are commonly found in industry. Many of these materials are active chemically and thus exhibit dangerous toxic and reactive properties. Inhalation of fine aluminum oxide particles is associated with Shaver's disease. (Sax, Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, eighth edition) Prolonged absorption of iodides may produce "iodism" which is manifested by skin rash, running nose, headache and irritation of mucous memebranes. In severe cases, the skin may show pimples, boils, redness, black and blue spots, hives and blisters. Weakness, anemia, loss of weight and general depression may occur. Generally very soluble in water and easily absorbed into the body.(Sax, Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, eighth edition) INHALATION: Acute: STRONG IRRITANT AND CORROSIVE. May cause irritation of the upper respiratory system, nose, lacrimation, headache and tight chest. Chronic: May cause pneumonoconiosis. INGESTION: Acute: STRONG IRRITANT AND CORROSIVE. May cause chemical burns to the mouth, gastric irritation, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Chronic: May cause gastritis, degeneration of the liver and kidneys, growth retardation, anemia and spasms. SKIN: Acute: STRONG IRRITANT AND CORROSIVE. Chronic: May cause rashes, pimples, boils, redness, black and blue spots, hives and blisters. EYE: Acute: STRONG IRRITANT AND CORROSIVE. Chronic: May cause visual impairment, including blindness. TARGET ORGANS: May affect the respiratory system, liver, kidneys, skin and eyes. |

|
| SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE | |
|
INHALATION: May cause throat dryness, cough, running nose, headache, vomiting, chest pain, irritability, depression, loss of weight and pneumonitis. INGESTION: May cause burning sensation, choking, vomiting, abdominal pain, anemia, diarrhea. SKIN: May cause redness, itching, burning sensation, pimples, boils, black and blue spots, hives and blisters. EYE: May cause redness, itching, burning sensation, watering and visual impairment. . |
|

|
Pre-existing respiratory, skin and gastric disorders. . |
|
| EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES | |
|
INHALATION: Remove victim to fresh air; keep warm and quite; give oxygen if breathing is difficult and seek medical attention immediately. INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical attention immediately. SKIN: Remove contaminated clothing from affected area; brush material off skin. Wash affected area with mild soap and water. Seek medical attention immediately. EYE: Flush eyes with lukewarm water, lifting upper and lower eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention immediately. . |

SECTION VII - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE |
| STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED | |
|
Wear appropriate respiratory and protective equipment specified in section VIII-control measures. Isolate spill area and provide ventilation. Scoop or vacuum up spill using a high efficiency particulate absolute (HEPA) air filter and place in a closed container for proper disposal. Take care not to raise dust. . |
|
| WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD | |
|
Dispose of in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local regulations. . |
|
