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

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Harmful if swallowed. Causes burns. Very toxic to aquatic organisms,
may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.

Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause irreversible eye injury. Contact with eyes may cause
severe irritation, and possible eye burns.
Skin:
Causes skin burns. Not expected to cause an allergic skin reaction.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. May cause corrosion and permanent tissue
destruction of the esophagus and digestive tract.
Inhalation:
May cause cyanosis (bluish discoloration of skin due to deficient
oxygenation of the blood). Irritation may lead to chemical
pneumonitis and pulmonary edema. Inhalation of fumes may cause metal
fume fever, which is characterized by flu-like symptoms with
metallic taste, fever, chills, cough, weakness, chest pain, muscle
pain and increased white blood cell count. Causes respiratory tract
irritation with possible burns.
Chronic:
Chronic exposure may cause effects similar to those of acute
exposure.

**** 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:
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for
at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Get medical aid immediately. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Get medical aid immediately.
If victim is fully conscious, give a cupful of water. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
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:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.

**** 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. Use water
spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Substance is
noncombustible. Contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen
gas.
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. 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. Discard contaminated shoes. Do not breathe dust or fumes.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry place. Corrosives area. Do not store in metal
containers. Keep containers tightly closed. Store protected from
moisture.

**** 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.
