**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Irritating to respiratory system and skin. Risk of serious damage to
eyes.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye burns. May cause chemical conjunctivitis and corneal
damage.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation.
Ingestion:
May cause kidney damage. May cause systemic toxicity with acidosis.
May cause cardiac disturbances. May cause central nervous system
effects. May cause blood abnormalities.
Inhalation:
Inhalation of high concentrations may cause central nervous system
effects characterized by nausea, headache, dizziness, unconsciousness
and coma. Causes respiratory tract irritation. May cause kidney
damage. Aspiration may lead to pulmonary edema. May cause blood
changes. May cause cardiac abnormalities. Exposure may produce
metabolic acidosis.
Chronic:
Effects may be delayed. May cause kidney damage.
**** 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:
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical
aid immediately. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert,
rinse mouth and drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
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:
Administration of Sodium bicarbonate may be of value to treat
acidosis.
**** 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. Will react
with water to form toxic and corrosive fumes. Vapors may accumulate
in confined spaces Contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen
gas. Containers may explode when heated. Non-combustible, substance
itself does not burn but may decompose upon heating to produce
irritating, corrosive and/or toxic fumes. Runoff from fire control
or dilution water may cause pollution.
Extinguishing Media:
For large fires, use water spray, fog or alcohol-resistant foam. Do
NOT use straight streams of water. For small fires, use carbon
dioxide, dry chemical, dry sand, or alcohol-resistant foam. Most
foams will react with the material and release corrosive/toxic
gases. 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. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and
ditches which lead to waterways. Clean up spills immediately,
observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Provide
ventilation.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Use only in a well-ventilated area. Do not breathe dust, vapor,
mist, or gas. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Keep
container tightly closed. Do not ingest or inhale. Discard
contaminated shoes.
Storage:
Keep container closed when not in use. Store in a cool, dry 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
ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.
