**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Toxic by inhalation and if swallowed. Irritating to eyes,
respiratory system and skin. Very toxic to aquatic organisms.

Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes severe eye burns. Contact may cause discoloration, redness,
swelling, and formation of eye lesions. May cause corneal edema,
ulceration, and scarring. Prolonged exposure to vapor can lead to
gradual deposition of pigment in the cornea and conjunctiva which
may result in severe visual disturbances. Causes small opacities of
the cornea and structural corneal changes that result in loss of
visual activity.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation. Depigmentation and skin lesions may occur.
May cause discoloration, erythema (redness), swelling, and the
formation of papules and vesicles (blisters). Prolonged contact may
lead to necrosis.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. May cause irritation of the digestive tract.
Ingestion may cause convulsions, seizures and possible coma.
Inhalation:
Causes respiratory tract irritation. May cause adverse central
nervous system effects including headache, convulsions, and possible
death. May produce asphyxia due to pulmonary damage and effects on
the hemoglobin. May produce clonic convulsions, respiratory
difficulties, decreased blood pressure and death due to medullary
centers.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause permanent eye damage.

**** 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
immediately. Do NOT allow victim to rub eyes or keep eyes closed.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing
before reuse.
Ingestion:
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:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician:
Antidote:
None reported.

**** 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. Dusts at sufficient concentrations can form
explosive mixtures with air.
Extinguishing Media:
In case of fire, use water, dry chemical, chemical foam, or
alcohol-resistant foam.

**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****

General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
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:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use only in a well-ventilated area. Minimize dust
generation and accumulation. May form flammable dust-air mixtures.
Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Keep container tightly
closed. Do not ingest or inhale.
Storage:
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:
Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne
concentrations below the permissible exposure limits.
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:
Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29
CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Always use
a NIOSH or European Standard EN 149 approved
respirator when necessary.
