**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Contact with combustible material may cause fire.The toxicological
properties of this material have not been fully
investigated.Oxidizer.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
No information regarding eye irritation and other potential effects
was found.
Skin:
No information regarding skin irritation and other potential effects
was found.
Ingestion:
The toxicological properties of this substance have not been fully
investigated. 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. Ingestion of
nitrate containing compounds can lead to methemoglobinemia.
Inhalation:
May cause effects similar to those described for ingestion. The
toxicological properties of this substance have not been fully
investigated. Inhalation of dust may cause respiratory tract
irritation.
Chronic:
No information found.
**** 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.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
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:
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. Strong oxidizer. Contact with other material may
cause fire. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be
generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Containers may
explode in the heat of a fire. Some oxidizers may react explosively
with hydrocarbons(fuel). May explode from heat or contamination.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water only! Do NOT use carbon dioxide. Do NOT use dry chemical.
Do NOT use alcohol foams. Do NOT use halogenated agents.
**** 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. Avoid generating dusty conditions.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Use only in a well-ventilated area.
Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes,
skin, and clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Keep away from
heat, sparks and flame. Avoid contact with clothing and other
combustible materials. Avoid ingestion and inhalation.
Storage:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Do not store near
combustible materials. Store in a tightly closed container. Keep
from contact with oxidizing materials. 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 explosion-proof ventilation to keep
airborne levels to acceptable levels.
Exposure Limits
CAS# 13126-12-0:
Russia: 0.5 mg/m3 TWA
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. Use a
NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved
respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if
irritation or other symptoms are experienced.
