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

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin. Contact with
combustible material may cause fire.Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture
from the air).

Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Contact with eyes may cause severe irritation, and possible eye
burns. May cause conjunctivitis. May cause permanent corneal
opacification.
Skin:
May cause severe irritation and possible burns.
Ingestion:
May cause central nervous system depression, kidney damage, and
liver damage. May cause cardiac disturbances. May cause burns to the
gastrointestinal tract. May cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea,
possibly with blood.
Inhalation:
Causes respiratory tract irritation. May cause methemoglobinemia,
cyanosis (bluish discoloration of skin due to deficient oxygenation
of the blood), convulsions, tachycardia, dyspnea (labored
breathing), and death. May cause acute pulmonary edema, asphyxia,
chemical pneumonitis, and upper airway obstruction caused by edema.
Chronic:
May cause methemoglobinemia, which is characterized by
chocolate-brown colored blood, headache, weakness, dizziness, breath
shortness, cyanosis (bluish skin due to deficient oxygenation of
blood), rapid heart rate, unconsciousness and possible death. 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. Do
NOT allow victim to rub eyes or keep eyes closed.
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately 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 immediately. 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 breathing
is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid if cough or other symptoms
appear. Do not use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation if victim ingested or
inhaled the substance; induce artificial respiration with the aid of
a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper
respiratory medical device.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Antidote:
The use of Deferoxamine as a chelating agent should be determined
only 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. Use water
spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Use water with caution
and in flooding amounts. Oxidizer. Greatly increases the burning
rate of combustible materials. Some oxidizers may react explosively
with hydrocarbons(fuel). Containers may explode when heated.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water only! Do NOT use carbon dioxide or dry chemical. Contact
professional fire-fighters immediately. For large fires flood fire
with water from a distance.

**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****

General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Wear a self contained breathing apparatus and appropriate personal
protection. (See Exposure Controls, Personal Protection section).
Sweep up, then place into a suitable container for disposal. Avoid
generating dusty conditions. Remove all sources of ignition. Provide
ventilation. Do not get water inside containers. Do not use
combustible materials such as paper towels to clean up spill.

**** 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. Avoid contact with heat, sparks and
flame. Do not get on skin or in eyes. Do not ingest or inhale. Store
protected from light. Keep from contact with clothing and other
combustible materials.
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.
Store protected from moisture. Store protected from light.

**** 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.
Personal Protective Equipment

Eyes:
Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical
safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face
protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European
Standard EN166.
Skin:
Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin
exposure.
Clothing:
Wear a chemical apron. Wear appropriate protective
clothing to prevent skin exposure.
Respirators:
A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA's 29
CFR 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements or European
Standard EN 149 must be followed whenever workplace
conditions warrant a respirator's use.
