 **** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
 
 EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
 Limited evidence of a carcinogenic effect.
 
 Potential Health Effects
 Eye:
 May cause eye irritation.
 Skin:
 May cause 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. If
 absorbed, causes symptoms similar to those of ingestion.
 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.
 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. Exposure may cause anemia and other
 blood abnormalities.
 Inhalation:
 May cause respiratory tract irritation. May cause methemoglobinemia,
 cyanosis (bluish discoloration of skin due to deficient oxygenation
 of the blood), convulsions, tachycardia, dyspnea (labored breathing),
 and death. May cause effects similar to those described for
 ingestion. 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 blood.
 Chronic:
 Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis. Chronic
 inhalation and ingestion may cause effects similar to those of acute
 inhalation and ingestion. Prolonged exposure may cause anemia and
 methemoglobinemia, characterized by dizziness, drowsiness, headache,
 breath shortness, cyanosis (bluish skin due to deficient oxygenation
 of the blood), rapid heart rate and chocolate-brown colored blood.
 Chronic exposure can affect thyroid function. May cause pituitary
 gland abnormalities.
 
 **** 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:
 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.
 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. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth
 resuscitation.
 Notes to Physician:
 For methemoglobinemia, administer oxygen alone or with Methylene
 Blue depending on the methemoglobin concentration in the blood.
 Antidote:
 Methylene blue, alone or in combination with oxygen is indicated as
 a treatment in nitrite induced methemoglobinemia.
 
 **** 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. This
 material in sufficient quantity and reduced particle size is capable
 of creating a dust explosion.
 Extinguishing Media:
 Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Use water spray,
 dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or chemical 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. 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. Use only in a well-ventilated area.
 Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid breathing dust,
 vapor, mist, or gas. 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:
 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# 632-99-5:
 
 
 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.
