**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Harmful by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed. Toxic
to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the
aquatic environment.Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the air).
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes severe eye irritation. May cause chemical conjunctivitis.
Skin:
Causes severe skin irritation. May be absorbed through the skin.
Contact with the skin may cause staining, inflammation, and
thickening of the skin.
Ingestion:
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 be harmful if swallowed. Overexposure may cause
methemoglobinemia. May cause pallor, loss of appetite, nausea,
vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, darkened urine, headache, sweating,
convulsions, cyanosis (bluish skin due to deficient oxygenation of
the blood), unconsciousness, respiratory failure and death. May
cause burning sensation in lips, mouth, and throat and feeling of
constriction or pain in throat or chest. Tingling or pain in hands
may also occur.
Inhalation:
Causes respiratory tract irritation. May cause liver and kidney
damage. May cause effects similar to those described for ingestion.
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 blood. Inhalation can cause systemic acidosis and
methemoglobinemia. Can produce delayed pulmonary edema.
Chronic:
May cause liver and kidney damage. 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. Effects may be delayed. Adverse reproductive
effects have been reported in animals.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
Get medical aid. Do NOT allow victim to rub eyes or keep eyes
closed. Extensive irrigation with water is required (at least 30
minutes).
Skin:
Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Discard
contaminated clothing in a manner which limits further exposure.
Destroy contaminated shoes.
Ingestion:
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical
aid. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse mouth and
drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Get medical aid. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively. For methemoglobinemia,
administer oxygen alone or with Methylene Blue depending on the
methemoglobin 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. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases
may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Use water
spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. May polymerize
explosively when involved in a fire. Contact with metals may evolve
flammable hydrogen gas. Containers may explode when heated.
Combustible material; may burn but does not ignite readily.
Extinguishing Media:
Do NOT get water inside containers. For small fires, use dry
chemical, carbon dioxide, or water spray. For large fires, use dry
chemical, carbon dioxide, alcohol-resistant foam, or water spray.
Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after
fire is out.
**** 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. Sweep up, then place into a suitable container for
disposal. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Remove all sources of
ignition. Provide ventilation.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes,
skin, and clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion
and inhalation. Use with adequate ventilation. Wash clothing before
reuse. Discard contaminated shoes.
Storage:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Store in a tightly closed
container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from
incompatible substances. Storage under a nitrogen blanket has been
recommended. 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.
