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

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Harmful by inhalation and in contact with skin. Very toxic to
aquatic organisms.Corrosive.

Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes severe eye irritation. May cause eye burns. Vapor or mist
may cause irritation and severe burns.
Skin:
Causes skin burns. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic
reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material.
Ingestion:
May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea. May cause kidney damage. May cause burns to the digestive
tract. May cause thyroid abnormalities.
Inhalation:
May cause irritation of the respiratory tract with burning pain in
the nose and throat, coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath and
pulmonary edema. May cause epiphoria, which is an excessive flow of
tears.
Chronic:
Chronic exposure can lead to iodism characterized by salivation,
nasal discharge, sneezing, conjunctivitis, fever, laryngitis,
bronchitis, stomatitis, and skin rashes. Chronic exposure can affect
thyroid function. May cause kidney damage.

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

Eyes:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid
immediately.
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Rinse area with large amounts of water
for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and 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 not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation.
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. Material will not burn. 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.
Containers may explode when heated.
Extinguishing Media:
Use extinguishing media most appropriate for the 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. 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 with adequate ventilation.
Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Keep container tightly
closed. Avoid contact with clothing and other combustible materials.
Do not get on skin or in eyes. Do not ingest or inhale.
Storage:
Do not store near combustible materials. Keep away from food and
drinking water. Keep away from strong acids. Keep away from metals.
Keep away from reducing agents.

**** 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.

protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European
Standard EN166.
Skin:
Wear impervious gloves.
Clothing:
Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin
exposure.
Respirators:
Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29
