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

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Harmful if swallowed. Irritating to eyes and skin.Air
sensitive.Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the air).

Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Exposure to particulates or solution may cause conjunctivitis,
ulceration, and corneal abnormalities. Causes eye irritation and
possible burns.
Skin:
May cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes
evident upon re-exposure to this material. Causes skin irritation
and possible burns. May cause itching eczema.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. May cause severe gastrointestinal tract
irritation with nausea, vomiting and possible burns. Ingestion of
large amounts of copper salts may cause bloody stools and vomit, low
blood pressure, jaundice and coma. Ingestion of copper compounds may
produce systemic toxic effects to the kidney and liver and central
nervous excitation followed by depression.
Inhalation:
May cause ulceration and perforation of the nasal septum if inhaled
in excessive quantities. Causes respiratory tract irritation with
possible burns.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated eye contact may cause conjunctivitis. May
cause liver and kidney damage. May cause anemia and other blood cell
abnormalities. Individuals with Wilson's disease are unable to
metabolize copper. Thus, copper accumulates in various tissues and
may result in liver, kidney, and brain damage. Laboratory
experiments have resulted in mutagenic effects. May cause allergic
skin reaction in some individuals. Chronic copper poisoning in man is
recognized in the form of Wilson's disease.

**** 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:
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:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If breathing
is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid. 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:
Individuals with Wilson's disease are more susceptible to chronic
copper poisoning.
Antidote:
The use of d-Penicillamine as a chelating agent should be determined
by qualified medical personnel.

**** 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. Substance
is noncombustible. This material in sufficient quantity and reduced
particle size is capable of creating a dust explosion.
Extinguishing Media:
Use extinguishing media most appropriate for the 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:
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. Place under an inert atmosphere.

**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****

Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use only in a well-ventilated area. Minimize dust
generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and
clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and
inhalation. Do not ingest or inhale. Handle under an inert
atmosphere. Store protected from air.
Storage:
Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Do not expose
to air. Store protected from moisture. Store under an inert
atmosphere.

**** 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.

Ecotoxicity:
Fish: Rainbow trout: LC50 = 0.1-2.5 mg/L; 96 Hr; UnspecifiedFish:
Harlequin fish: LC50 =0.1-2.5 mg/L; 96 Hr; UnspecifiedFish: Goldfish:
LC50 = 0.1-2.5 mg/L; 96 Hr; UnspecifiedWater flea Daphnia: EC50 =
0.24 mg/L; 48 Hr; UnspecifiedIn soil, copper sulfate is partly washed
down to lower levels, partly bound by soil components, and partly
oxidatively transformed. Copper has a strong affinity for hydrous
iron and manganese oxides, clays, carbonate minerals, and organic
matter. Sorption to these materials ... suspended in the water column
& in the bed sediments, results in relative enrichment of the solid
phase and reduction in dissolved levels.
