**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Can become highly flammable in use. Irritating to skin. Contact with
combustible material may cause fire.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause conjunctivitis. May cause permanent corneal
opacification.
Skin:
May cause severe irritation and possible burns.
Ingestion:
May cause liver and kidney damage. May cause cardiac disturbances.
May cause methemoglobinemia, cyanosis (bluish discoloration of skin
due to deficient oxygenation of the blood), convulsions, and death.
May cause central nervous system effects. May cause burns to the
gastrointestinal tract. May cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea,
possibly with blood.
Inhalation:
Inhalation of high concentrations may cause central nervous system
effects characterized by nausea, headache, dizziness, unconsciousness
and coma. May cause methemoglobinemia, cyanosis (bluish discoloration
of skin due to deficient oxygenation of the blood), convulsions,
tachycardia, dyspnea (labored breathing), and death. May cause liver
and kidney damage. May cause cardiac abnormalities. May cause acute
pulmonary edema, asphyxia, chemical pneumonitis, and upper airway
obstruction caused by 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.
**** 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. Remove
contaminated clothing and shoes.
Ingestion:
If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Get medical aid immediately. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and
alert, rinse mouth and drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do NOT use
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If breathing has ceased apply
artificial respiration using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device
such as a bag and a mask.
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. Use water with
caution and in flooding amounts. Some oxidizers may react explosively
with hydrocarbons(fuel). May accelerate burning if involved in a
fire. Containers may explode when heated. Runoff from fire control
or dilution water may cause pollution.
Extinguishing Media:
Contact professional fire-fighters immediately. Cool containers with
flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. For small
fires, do NOT use dry chemicals, carbon dioxide, halon or foams.
USE WATER ONLY. For large fires flood fire with water from a
distance.
**** 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.
Remove all sources of ignition. Do not use combustible materials such
as paper towels to clean up spill.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate ventilation.
Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with
clothing and other combustible materials. Do not get on skin or in
eyes. Avoid ingestion and inhalation.
Storage:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Do not store near
combustible materials. Keep refrigerated. (Store below 4C/39F.)
**** 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.
Exposure Limits
CAS# 14242-05-8:
Japan: (listed as silver compounds): 0.01 mg/m3 OEL (as Ag)
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 gloves to prevent skin exposure.
Clothing:
Wear a chemical apron. Wear appropriate protective
clothing to minimize contact with skin.
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.
