**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Toxic by inhalation and if swallowed. Danger of cumulative effects.
Very toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects
in the aquatic environment.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes severe eye irritation.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation. May be absorbed through the skin in harmful
amounts. Chronic exposure to selenium may cause central nervous
system effects, digestive tract disturbances, pallor, garlic breath,
Ingestion:
May be fatal if swallowed. Poison by ingestion. Causes
gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May
cause liver and kidney damage. May cause cardiac abnormalities.
Inhalation:
Causes respiratory tract irritation. Irritation may lead to chemical
pneumonitis and pulmonary edema. 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:
May cause reproductive and fetal effects. Chronic exposure to
selenium may cause central nervous system effects, digestive tract
disturbances, pallor, garlic breath, Laboratory experiments have
resulted in mutagenic 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
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:
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. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases
may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion.
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:
Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal
container. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the
Protective Equipment section. Avoid generating dusty conditions.
Provide ventilation.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with
eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid ingestion and inhalation.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry place. Keep container closed when not in use.
**** 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 general or
local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the
permissible exposure limits.
