Preventive Measures:
SRP: The scientific literature for the use of contact lenses in industry is conflicting. The benefit or detrimental effects of
wearing contact lenses depend not only upon the substance, but also on factors including the form of the substance,
characteristics and duration of the exposure, the uses of other eye protection equipment, and the hygiene of the
lenses. However, there may be individual substances whose irritating or corrosive properties are such that the wearing
of contact lenses would be harmful to the eye. In those specific cases, contact lenses should not be worn. In any
event, the usual eye protection equipment should be worn even when contact lenses are in place.

... From calcium chloride & disodium phosphate; from tricalcium phosphate & phosphoric acid; where it is
intermediate in prepn of hydroxyapatite.
[Budavari, S. (ed.). The Merck Index - An Encyclopedia of Chemicals, Drugs, and Biologicals. Whitehouse Station,
NJ: Merck and Co., Inc., 1996., p. 276] **PEER REVIEWED**
Because calcium hydrogen phosphate is incongruently soluble, it is typically contaminated with various amounts (6-
10%) of dicalcium phosphate and free phosphorus acid resulting from in-process disproportionation of the
monocalcium salt.
[Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. 4th ed. Volumes 1: New York, NY. John Wiley and Sons, 1991-
Present., p. V18 691] **PEER REVIEWED**
Since phosphorus acid impurity may render the product hygroscopic and absorbed water and acid catalyzes further
disproportionation, excess lime may be added to industrial monocalcium phosphate to ensure removal of residual free
phosphoric acid. Therefore the product may contain dicalcium phosphate.

Present., p. V18 691] **PEER REVIEWED**
... The hygroscopic nature of anhydrous monocalcium phosphate limited its commercial applications. However, the
addition of small amounts of potassium (+1), sodium (+1), and aluminum (+3) ions to the crystallization mother liquor
... results ... glassy coating protects the calcium phosphate from moisture and greatly improves its handling
properties and performance in several applications ...
