**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Very toxic by inhalation and if swallowed. Danger of cumulative
effects.Oxidizer.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation. Excessive drying of the skin may result from
repeated or prolonged contact. Absorbed through the skin.
Ingestion:
May be fatal if swallowed. May cause gastrointestinal irritation
with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May cause liver and kidney
damage. Methemoglobinemia is characterized by dizziness, drowsiness,
headache, shortness of breath, cyanosis (bluish discoloration of skin
due to deficient oxygenation of the blood), rapid heart rate and
chocolate-brown colored blood. May cause alopecia (loss of hair).
Ingestion of nitrate containing compounds can lead to
methemoglobinemia. Ingested thallium compounds are extremely toxic,
causing convulsions, coma, conjunctivitis, runny nose, polyneuritis,
motor and sensory peripheral neuropathy, encephalopathy, arterial
hypertension, rapid heart rate, and skin eruptions
Inhalation:
May cause liver and kidney damage. Causes upper respiratory tract
irritation. Causes irritation of the mucous membrane.
Chronic:
May cause reproductive and fetal effects. Laboratory experiments
have resulted in mutagenic effects. There is a danger of cumulative
effects.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4
cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Get medical aid immediately.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. 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 methemoglobin concentration in the blood.
**** 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. Water runoff can cause environmental damage. Dike
and collect water used to fight fire. Strong oxidizer. Contact with
other material may cause fire. Use water with caution and in flooding
amounts. May accelerate burning if involved in a fire. Containers may
explode when heated.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water only! Contact professional fire-fighters immediately. Cool
containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is
out. Do NOT use dry chemicals, CO2, Halon or foams.
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to waterways.
Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective
Equipment section. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Remove all
sources of ignition. In case of spill, sweep up solid or absorb
liquid with inert material, then place into a biohazard container.
Wear protective equipment.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Minimize dust generation and
accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Do not
breathe dust, vapor, mist, or gas. Keep container tightly closed.
Avoid contact with clothing and other combustible materials. Do not
ingest or inhale. Use only in a chemical fume hood.
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.
**** 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 only under a
chemical fume hood.
Exposure Limits
CAS# 10102-45-1:
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 protective gloves to prevent skin
exposure.
Clothing:
Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin
exposure.
Respirators:
A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA's 29
CFR 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements or European
Standard EN 149 must be followed whenever workplace
conditions warrant respirator use.
