**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Highly flammable. Toxic by inhalation, in contact with skin and if
swallowed. Toxic : danger of very serious irreversible effects
through inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause painful sensitization to light. May cause blindness.
Causes severe eye irritation and possible injury.
Skin:
May cause skin irritation. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic
reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material.
May be absorbed through the skin.
Ingestion:
May be fatal or cause blindness if swallowed. May cause
gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May
cause kidney damage. May cause systemic toxicity with acidosis. May
cause central nervous system depression, characterized by
excitement, followed by headache, dizziness, drowsiness, and nausea.
Advanced stages may cause collapse, unconsciousness, coma and
possible death due to respiratory failure. Chronic ingestion of
iodides during pregnancy has resulted in fetal death, severe goiter,
and cretinoid appearance of the newborn.
Inhalation:
May cause visual impairment and possible permanent blindness. May
cause effects similar to those described for ingestion. May cause
kidney damage. May cause drowsiness, unconsciousness, and central
nervous system depression. Vapors may cause dizziness or
suffocation. May cause irritation and burning of the eyes, tearing,
coughing and irritation of nose and throat. May cause irritation of
the upper respiratory tract and bronchi.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis. Chronic
inhalation and ingestion may cause effects similar to those of acute
inhalation and ingestion. May cause reproductive and fetal effects.
Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause thyroid inhibition.
**** 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
immediately.
Skin:
Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while
removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if
irritation develops or persists. 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. Get medical aid. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation.
Notes to Physician:
Effects may be delayed. Ethanol may inhibit methanol metabolism.
Antidote:
Ethanol may inhibit methanol metabolism.
**** SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES ****
General Information:
Containers can build up pressure if exposed to heat and/or fire. As
in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
protective gear. Vapors may form an explosive mixture with air.
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. Flammable liquid and vapor. Vapors may
be heavier than air. They can spread along the ground and collect
in low or confined areas. May be ignited by heat, sparks, and flame.
Containers may explode when heated.
Extinguishing Media:
For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or
alcohol-resistant foam. For large fires, use water spray, fog, or
alcohol-resistant foam. Use water spray to cool fire-exposed
containers. Water may be ineffective. 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:
Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth),
then place in suitable container. Do not flush into a sewer. Clean
up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective
Equipment section. Use water spray to disperse the gas/vapor. Remove
all sources of ignition. Provide ventilation. Water spray may reduce
vapor but may not prevent ignition in closed spaces.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Ground and bond containers when transferring
material. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Empty
containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be
dangerous. Keep container tightly closed. Do not ingest or inhale.
Use only in a chemical fume hood. Do not pressurize, cut, weld,
braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty containers to heat,
sparks or open flames. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame.
Storage:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Keep away from sources of
ignition. Do not store in direct sunlight. Store in a tightly closed
container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from
incompatible substances. Flammables-area.
**** 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. Use only under a chemical fume hood.
