**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Harmful by inhalation, in contact with skin and if
swallowed.Harmful.The toxicological properties of this material have
not been fully investigated.Lachrymator (substance which increases
the flow of tears).
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Produces irritation, characterized by a burning sensation, redness,
tearing, inflammation, and possible corneal injury. Lachrymator
(substance which increases the flow of tears).
Skin:
May cause skin irritation. May be absorbed through the skin in
harmful amounts.
Ingestion:
May cause irritation of the digestive tract. May cause cardiac
disturbances. The toxicological properties of this substance have not
been fully investigated. May cause central nervous system depression.
Metabolism may release cyanide, which may result in headache,
dizziness, weakness, collapse, unconsciousness and possible death.
Ingestion may result in symptoms similar to cyanide poisoning which
is characterized by asphyxiation. May be harmful if swallowed.
Inhalation:
May cause respiratory tract irritation. The toxicological properties
of this substance have not been fully investigated. May be harmful if
inhaled. May cause cardiac abnormalities. May be metabolized to
cyanide which in turns act by inhibiting cytochrome oxidase impairing
cellular respiration. Inhalation may result in symptoms similar to
cyanide poisoning which include tachypnea, hyperpnea (abnormally
rapid or deep breathing), and dyspnea (labored breathing) followed
rapidly by respiratory depression. Pulmonary edema may occur.
Inhalation at high concentrations may cause CNS depression and
asphixiation.
Chronic:
May be metabolized to cyanide which in turn acts by inhibiting
cytochrome oxidase impairing cellular respiration. 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. Exposure
to small amounts of cyanide compounds over long periods of time is
reported to cause loss of appetite, headache, weakness, nausea,
dizziness, and symptoms of irritation of the upper respiratory tract
and eyes.
**** 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. Do
NOT allow victim to rub eyes or keep eyes closed.
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:
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical
aid. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse mouth and
drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If breathing
is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid. 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:
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. Will burn
if involved in a fire. Containers may explode in the heat of a fire.
Vapors may be heavier than air. They can spread along the ground
and collect in low or confined areas. Runoff from fire control or
dilution water may cause pollution.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Use water spray,
dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or chemical foam. Do NOT get water
inside containers.
**** 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. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and
ditches which lead to waterways. Clean up spills immediately,
observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Provide
ventilation.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid
breathing dust, vapor, mist, or gas. Avoid contact with eyes, skin,
and clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and
inhalation. Use only in a chemical fume hood.
Storage:
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.
Exposure Limits
CAS# 2947-60-6:
United States OSHA: 5 mg/m3 TWA (listed under Cyanide anion).
Germany: (listed as cyanide anion): Skin absorber
Netherlands: (listed as cyanide anion): 5 mg/m3 MAC (as CN)
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 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.
