**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Harmful if swallowed. Causes burns. Irritating to skin. Limited
evidence of a carcinogenic effect. Harmful : danger of serious
damage to health by prolonged exposure through inhalation and if
swallowed.Corrosive.Lachrymator (substance which increases the flow
of tears).
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes severe eye irritation. Contact with liquid or vapor causes
severe burns and possible irreversible eye damage. Lachrymator
(substance which increases the flow of tears).
Skin:
Causes skin burns. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic
reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material.
May be harmful if absorbed through the skin. Contact with the skin
may cause blackening and hyperkeratosis of the skin of the hands.
Ingestion:
May cause severe and permanent damage to the digestive tract. May
cause cardiac disturbances. Causes severe pain, nausea, vomiting,
diarrhea, and shock. May cause polyuria, oliguria (excretion of a
diminished amount of urine in relation to the fluid intake) and
anuria (complete suppression of urination). May cause hallucinations
and distorted perceptions. Rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal
tract.
Inhalation:
Effects may be delayed. Inhalation of high concentrations may cause
central nervous system effects characterized by nausea, headache,
dizziness, unconsciousness and coma. May cause cardiac sensitization
and possible failure. Causes chemical burns to the respiratory tract.
Exposure may lead to bronchitis, pharyngitis, and dental erosion.
Inhalation of large amounts may cause respiratory stimulation,
followed by respiratory depression, convulsions and possible death
due to respiratory paralysis. May be absorbed through the lungs.
Chronic:
Possible cancer hazard based on tests with laboratory animals.
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis. May cause
reproductive and fetal effects. Laboratory experiments have resulted
in mutagenic effects. Toxicity may be increased by exposure to
alcohol, steroids, and ketones. Repeated exposure may lead to
blackening and hyperkeratosis of the skin and hands, conjunctivitis,
bronchitis and pharyngitis and erosion of the teeth. Prolonged
exposure may cause liver, kidney, and heart damage. Prolonged
exposure may cause corneal erosion, conjunctivitis, and possible
blindness.
**** 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. Wash clothing before reuse. Destroy contaminated shoes.
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.
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.
Notes to Physician:
Persons with pre-existing skin disorders or impaired respiratory or
pulmonary function may be at increased risk to the effects of this
substance. Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Antidote:
No specific antidote exists.
**** SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES ****
General Information:
Vapors may form an explosive mixture with air. Vapors can travel to
a source of ignition and flash back. 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.
Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and
eyes. Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) to prevent
contact with thermal decomposition products. Reacts with most metals
to form highly flammable hydrogen gas which can form explosive
mixtures with air. Vapors may be heavier than air. They can spread
along the ground and collect in low or confined areas. May be ignited
by friction, heat, sparks, or flame. May polymerize explosively when
involved in a fire. Containers may explode when heated. Combustible
liquid and vapor.
Extinguishing Media:
For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or
alcohol-resistant foam. Use water spray to cool fire-exposed
containers. Do NOT get water inside containers. For large fires, use
water spray, fog or alcohol-resistant foam. Do NOT use straight
streams of water.
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to waterways.
Wash area with soap and water. Remove all sources of ignition. Use a
spark-proof tool. Provide ventilation. Cover with material such as
dry soda ash or calcium carbonate and place into a closed container
for disposal. A vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use only in a well-ventilated area. Empty
containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be
dangerous. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Do not get on skin
or in eyes. Do not ingest or inhale. Discard contaminated shoes. Do
not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose
empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames.
Storage:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Keep from contact with
oxidizing materials. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away
from incompatible substances. Corrosives area. Do not store near
alkaline 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.
