**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation. May cause permanent corneal opacification.
May cause chemical conjunctivitis.
Skin:
May cause severe irritation and possible burns.
Ingestion:
May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea. The toxicological properties of this substance have not
been fully investigated. May cause burns to the gastrointestinal
tract. May cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, possibly with blood.
Inhalation:
Causes respiratory tract irritation. The toxicological properties of
this substance have not been fully investigated. Can produce delayed
pulmonary edema. May cause acute pulmonary edema, asphyxia, chemical
pneumonitis, and upper airway obstruction caused by edema.
Chronic:
Effects may be delayed.
**** 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.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing
before reuse.
Ingestion:
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical
aid. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse mouth and
drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
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:
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. Strong oxidizer. Contact with other material may
cause fire. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be
generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Use water with
caution and in flooding amounts. Non-combustible, substance itself
does not burn but may decompose upon heating to produce irritating,
corrosive and/or toxic fumes.
Extinguishing Media:
Substance is noncombustible; use agent most appropriate to
extinguish surrounding fire. Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon
dioxide, or appropriate foam.
**** 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. Remove all
sources of ignition. Provide ventilation. Do not use combustible
materials such as paper towels to clean up spill.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate ventilation.
Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes,
skin, and clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid contact with
clothing and other combustible materials. Do not get on skin or in
eyes. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Wash clothing before reuse.
Storage:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Do not store near
combustible materials. Store in a tightly closed container. Store in
a cool, dry, well-ventilated 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.
