**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Contact with combustible material may cause fire.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Contact with eyes may cause severe irritation, and possible eye
burns. Contact may cause ulceration of the conjunctiva and cornea.
May cause conjunctivitis. May cause permanent corneal
opacification.
Skin:
May cause severe irritation and possible burns. May cause
dermatitis. May cause skin discoloration.
Ingestion:
May cause severe gastrointestinal tract irritation with nausea,
vomiting and possible burns. May cause liver and kidney damage. May
cause hemorrhaging of the digestive tract. 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. May cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, possibly
with blood.
Inhalation:
May cause methemoglobinemia, cyanosis (bluish discoloration of skin
due to deficient oxygenation of the blood), convulsions,
tachycardia, dyspnea (labored breathing), and death. May cause
ulceration and perforation of the nasal septum if inhaled in
excessive quantities. May cause severe irritation of the upper
respiratory tract with pain, burns, and inflammation. May cause
acute pulmonary edema, asphyxia, chemical pneumonitis, and upper
airway obstruction caused by edema.
Chronic:
Chronic inhalation and ingestion may cause effects similar to those
of acute inhalation and ingestion. 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.
Individuals with Wilson's disease are unable to metabolize copper.
Thus, copper accumulates in various tissues and may result in liver,
kidney, and brain damage.
**** 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.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4
cupfuls of milk or water. 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. 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:
The use of d-Penicillamine as a chelating agent should be determined
by qualified medical personnel. 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. Wear appropriate
protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and eyes. Wear a
self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) to prevent contact with
thermal decomposition products. Use water with caution and in
flooding amounts.
Extinguishing Media:
Use extinguishing media most appropriate for the surrounding fire.
Contact professional fire-fighters immediately.
**** 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 runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to
waterways. 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. Contents may develop
pressure upon prolonged storage. Keep away from heat, sparks and
flame. 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. 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:
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.
