**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Very toxic in contact with skin and if swallowed. Very toxic to
aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the
aquatic environment.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation.
Skin:
May cause skin irritation. Absorption into the body may cause
cyanosis (bluish discoloration of skin due to deficient oxygenation
of the blood).
Ingestion:
May be fatal if swallowed. May cause irritation of the digestive
tract. May cause liver and kidney damage. May cause central nervous
system effects and/or neurological effects. Effects may be delayed.
May cause convulsions, increased blood pressure, muscle spasms, and
possible paralysis.
Inhalation:
Effects may be delayed. May cause respiratory tract irritation.
Inhalation may lead to hematemesis, convulsions, shock, coma, and
possible death.
Chronic:
May cause cyanosis (bluish discoloration of skin due to deficient
oxygenation of the blood), acidosis, and quick, shallow breathing.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
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. Wash clothing
before reuse.
Ingestion:
Call a poison control center. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting
unless directed to do so by medical personnel. 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. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. SPEED IS
ESSENTIAL, OBTAIN MEDICAL AID IMMEDIATELY.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
**** 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. Use water
spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Use extinguishing media
appropriate to the surrounding fire. Substance is noncombustible.
Vapors may be heavier than air. They can spread along the ground and
collect in low or confined areas. Containers may explode when heated.
Extinguishing Media:
Substance is noncombustible; use agent most appropriate to
extinguish surrounding fire. Do NOT use straight streams of water.
For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or water spray.
For large fires, use water spray, fog or regular foam. 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. 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.
Provide ventilation.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Wash hands before eating. Use with
adequate ventilation. Minimize dust generation and accumulation.
Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep container tightly
closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Use only in a chemical fume
hood. Wash clothing before reuse.
Storage:
Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Poison room
locked.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Use adequate general or local explosion-proof ventilation to keep
airborne levels to acceptable levels.

protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European
Standard EN166.
Skin:
Wear butyl rubber 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.
