**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Toxic by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed.
Irritating to eyes. May cause sensitization by skin contact. Very
toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in
the aquatic environment.Possible risk of irreversible effects.Light
sensitive.The toxicological properties of this material have not been
fully investigated.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes severe eye irritation.
Skin:
Causes severe skin irritation. May be absorbed through the skin in
harmful amounts. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction,
which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material.
Ingestion:
May cause irritation of the digestive tract. May cause
methemoglobinemia, cyanosis (bluish discoloration of skin due to
deficient oxygenation of the blood), convulsions, and death. The
toxicological properties of this substance have not been fully
investigated. 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 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.
Chronic:
Chronic inhalation may cause effects similar to those of acute
inhalation. Chronic ingestion may cause effects similar to those of
acute ingestion.
**** 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. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Ingestion:
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.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Get medical aid.
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.
Extinguishing Media:
In case of fire, use water, dry chemical, chemical foam, or
alcohol-resistant foam.
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Sweep up or absorb material, then place into a suitable clean, dry,
closed container for disposal. Avoid generating dusty conditions.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate ventilation.
Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes,
skin, and clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion
and inhalation.
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:
Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne
concentrations below the permissible exposure limits.
Exposure Limits
