**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Toxic by inhalation and if swallowed. Danger of cumulative effects.
Very toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects
in the aquatic environment.Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the
air).

Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May result in corneal injury. May cause pink, puffy eyelids due to
an allergic reaction. Vapors may cause eye injury.
Skin:
Causes skin burns. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic
reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material.
Causes redness and pain. May be harmful if absorbed through the
skin.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed.
Inhalation:
Harmful if inhaled. Causes respiratory tract irritation. Irritation
may lead to chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary edema.
Chronic:
Adverse reproductive effects have been reported in animals. Symptoms
demonstrated by humans suffering from chronic selenium intoxication,
selenosis, include depression, languor, nervousness, dermatitis,
gastrointestinal disturbances, giddiness, garlic odor of the breath
and sweat, moderate emotional instability, excess dental caries, and
in extreme cases, loss of fingernails and partial alopecia (hair
loss).

**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****

Eyes:
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for
at least 15 minutes. Get medical aid immediately.
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. In case of contact, immediately wipe
away excess material with a dry cloth while removing contaminated
clothing and shoes. Under safety shower, wash affected areas
thoroughly with large amounts of water, and soap if available, for at
least 15 minutes. Discard or decontaminate clothing and shoes.
Ingestion:
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:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician:

**** 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. Reacts with water to form corrosive acids. Approach
fire from upwind to avoid hazardous vapors and toxic decomposition
products.
Extinguishing Media:
Substance is noncombustible; use agent most appropriate to
extinguish surrounding fire.

**** 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. 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. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Minimize dust
generation and accumulation. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on
clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Do not ingest or inhale.
Inform laundry personnel of contaminant's hazards.
Storage:
Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Keep
containers tightly closed. Store protected from moisture.

**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****

Engineering Controls:
Use process enclosure, local exhaust ventilation, or other
engineering controls to control airborne levels below recommended
exposure limits. Facilities storing or utilizing this material should
be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower.
