 **** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
 
 EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
 Irritating to eyes and skin. Contact with combustible material may
 cause fire.Moisture sensitive.
 
 Potential Health Effects
 Eye:
 Causes eye irritation.  May cause conjunctivitis.  May cause
 permanent corneal opacification.
 Skin:
 May cause severe irritation and possible burns.
 Ingestion:
 May cause irritation of the digestive tract. Methemoglobinemia is
 characterized by dizziness, drowsiness, headache, breath shortness,
 cyanosis with bluish skin, rapid heart rate and chocolate-brown
 colored blood. May cause burns to the gastrointestinal tract.
 Ingestion of nitrate containing compounds can lead to
 methemoglobinemia. May cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea,
 possibly with blood.
 Inhalation:
 Dust is irritating to the respiratory tract. May cause
 methemoglobinemia, cyanosis, convulsions, tachycardia, dyspnea
 (labored breathing), and death. May cause acute pulmonary edema,
 asphyxia, chemical pneumonitis, and upper airway obstruction caused
 by edema.
 Chronic:
 May cause kidney injury. May cause methemoglobinemia, which is
 characterized by chocolate-brown colored blood, headache, weakness,
 dizziness, breath shortness, cyanosis (bluish skin due to deficient
 oxygenation of blood), rapid heart rate, unconsciousness and possible
 death.
 
 **** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
 
 Eyes:
 Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
 occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
 Skin:
 Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes
 while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if
 irritation develops or persists. Wash clothing before reuse.
 Ingestion:
 Do NOT induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4
 cupfuls of milk or water. Get medical aid.
 Inhalation:
 Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. Get medical aid if
 cough or other symptoms appear. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth
 resuscitation. If breathing has ceased apply artificial respiration
 using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device such as a bag and a
 mask.
 Notes to Physician:
 For methemoglobinemia, administer oxygen alone or with Methylene
 blue depending on the methemoglobinemia concentration in the blood.
 Antidote:
 Methylene blue, alone or in combination with oxygen is indicated as
 a treatment in nitrite induced methemoglobinemia.
 
 **** SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES ****
 
 General Information:
 As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
 pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
 protective gear. Strong oxidizer. Contact with combustible materials
 may cause a fire. Use water with caution and in flooding amounts.
 Extinguishing Media:
 For small fires, use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide or
 chemical foam. Do NOT get water inside containers. Contact
 professional fire-fighters immediately.
 
 **** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
 
 General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
 in Section 8.
 Spills/Leaks:
 Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal
 container. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the
 Protective Equipment section. Avoid generating dusty conditions.
 Remove all sources of ignition. Do not get water inside containers.
 
 **** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
 
 Handling:
 Wash thoroughly after handling. Minimize dust generation and
 accumulation. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin. Empty
 containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be
 dangerous. Avoid contact with clothing and other combustible
 materials. Do not get on skin or in eyes. Avoid ingestion and
 inhalation. Do not allow contact with water. Do not store near
 combustible materials. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder,
 drill, grind, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or open
 flames. Keep from contact with moist air and steam.
 Storage:
 Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Do not store near
 combustible materials. Store in a tightly closed container. Store in
 a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
 Store protected from moisture.
 
 **** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
 
 Engineering Controls:
 Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped
 with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate
 ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.
 Personal Protective Equipment
 
 Eyes:
 Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical
 safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face
 protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European
 Standard EN166.
 Skin:
 Wear appropriate gloves to prevent skin exposure.
 Clothing:
 Wear a chemical apron. Wear appropriate clothing to
 prevent skin exposure.
 Respirators:
 Wear a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149
 approved full-facepiece airline respirator in the
 positive pressure mode with emergency escape
 provisions.
