**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Very toxic by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed.
Causes burns.Corrosive.Heat sensitive.Lachrymator (substance which
increases the flow of tears).Moisture sensitive.Air sensitive.

Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye burns. Lachrymator (substance which increases the flow
of tears). Causes redness and pain.
Skin:
Causes skin burns. If absorbed, may cause symptoms similar to those
for ingestion. May be metabolized to cyanide which in turn acts by
inhibiting cytochrome oxidase impairing cellular respiration.
Substance is readily absorbed through the skin.
Ingestion:
May be fatal if swallowed. May cause severe gastrointestinal tract
irritation with nausea, vomiting and possible burns. May cause
central nervous system effects. 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.
Inhalation:
May cause irritation of the respiratory tract with burning pain in
the nose and throat, coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath and
pulmonary edema. May cause effects similar to those described for
ingestion. Inhalation may be fatal as a result of spasm,
inflammation, edema of the larynx and bronchi, chemical pneumonitis
and pulmonary edema. Inhalation may produce tearing, sneezing,
rhinorrhea (the free discharge of a thin nasal mucus), cough,
dyspnea (labored breathing), bronchial asthma, and cyanosis (bluish
discoloration of skin due to deficient oxygenation of the blood).
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.
Chronic:
No information found.

**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****

Eyes:
Get medical aid immediately. Do NOT allow victim to rub eyes or keep
eyes closed. Extensive irrigation with water is required (at least 30
minutes).
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes. Treat patient as for inhalation.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. 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. Treat patient as
for inhalation.
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. SPEED IS ESSENTIAL, OBTAIN MEDICAL AID
IMMEDIATELY.
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. Will react
with water to form toxic and corrosive fumes. Reaction with water
may generate much heat which will increase the concentration of
fumes in the air. Contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen
gas. Containers may explode when heated or if contaminated with
water. Non-combustible, substance itself does not burn but may
decompose upon heating to produce corrosive and/or toxic fumes.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Substance is
noncombustible; use agent most appropriate to extinguish surrounding
fire. Do NOT get water inside containers. Most foams will react with
the material and release corrosive/toxic gases. Cool containers with
flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out.

**** 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. Do
not get water inside containers. A vapor suppressing foam may be
used to reduce vapors. Use water spray to reduce vapors or divert
vapor cloud drift.

**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****

Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use only in a well-ventilated area. Do not get in
eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not ingest or inhale. Do not allow
contact with water. Keep from contact with moist air and steam.
Storage:
Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Keep away
from acids. Store protected from moisture.

**** 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.
Exposure Limits
CAS# 506-68-3:


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. Always use
a NIOSH or European Standard EN 149 approved
respirator when necessary.
