**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Harmful by inhalation and if swallowed. Explosive when mixed with
combustible material. Toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause
long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.Oxidizer.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation and possible burns.
Skin:
May cause severe irritation and possible burns.
Ingestion:
May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea. May cause methemoglobinemia, cyanosis (bluish
discoloration of skin due to deficient oxygenation of the blood),
convulsions, and death. 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.
Inhalation:
May cause respiratory tract irritation. May cause methemoglobinemia,
cyanosis (bluish discoloration of skin due to deficient oxygenation
of the blood), convulsions, tachycardia, dyspnea (labored breathing),
and death. Inhalation of fumes may cause metal fume fever, which is
characterized by flu-like symptoms with metallic taste, fever,
chills, cough, weakness, chest pain, muscle pain and increased white
blood cell count.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis. Chronic
inhalation or ingestion may result in manganism characterized by
neurological symptoms such as headache, apathy, and weakness of the
legs, followed by psychosis and neurological symptoms similar to
those of Parkinson's disease.
**** 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
immediately.
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately 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:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Notes to Physician:
**** 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. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers
cool. Oxidizer. Greatly increases the burning rate of combustible
materials.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Use water spray,
dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or chemical foam.
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth),
then place in suitable container.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid
contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Empty containers retain
product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Keep
container tightly closed. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame.
Avoid contact with clothing and other combustible materials. Avoid
ingestion and inhalation. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze,
solder, drill, grind, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or
open flames.
Storage:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Keep away from sources of
ignition. Do not store near combustible materials. Store in a
tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area
away from incompatible substances. Keep away from acids. Keep away
from reducing agents.
**** 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.

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.
