                  **** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION **** 
 
                               EMERGENCY OVERVIEW 
Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin. 
 
Potential Health Effects 
     Eye: 
          Causes eye irritation.  May cause chemical conjunctivitis. 
     Skin: 
          Causes skin irritation. May be metabolized to cyanide which in turn 
          acts by inhibiting cytochrome oxidase impairing cellular 
          respiration. 
     Ingestion: 
          May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and 
          diarrhea. Metabolism may release cyanide, which may result in 
          headache, dizziness, weakness, collapse, unconsciousness and 
          possible death. 
     Inhalation: 
          Causes respiratory tract irritation. Can produce delayed pulmonary 
          edema. May be metabolized to cyanide which in turns act by inhibiting 
          cytochrome oxidase impairing cellular respiration. 
     Chronic: 
          May be metabolized to cyanide which in turn acts by inhibiting 
          cytochrome oxidase impairing cellular respiration. Effects may be 
          delayed. Chronic exposure to cyanide solutions may lead to the 
          development of a "cyanide" rash, characterized by itching, and by 
          macular, papular, and vesicular eruptions, and may be accompanied by 
          secondary infections. 
 
                    **** 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. Wash clothing 
          before reuse. 
     Ingestion: 
          Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. 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: 
          Treat symptomatically and supportively. May be partially metabolized 
          to cyanide in the body. 
     Antidote: 
          Always have a cyanide antidote kit on hand when working with cyanide 
          compounds. Get medical advice to use. 
 
                  **** 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. Runoff from 
          fire control or dilution water may cause pollution. 
     Extinguishing Media: 
          Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Use agent most 
          appropriate to extinguish fire. Use water spray, dry chemical, 
          carbon dioxide, or appropriate 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. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid 
          contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep container tightly closed. 
          Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Use with adequate ventilation. 
     Storage: 
          Keep container closed when not in use. 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.
