**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Contact with combustible material may cause fire.Hygroscopic.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation. May cause conjunctivitis. May cause
permanent corneal opacification.
Skin:
May cause severe irritation and possible burns.
Ingestion:
Methemoglobinemia is characterized by dizziness, drowsiness,
headache, breath shortness, cyanosis with bluish skin, rapid heart
rate and chocolate-brown colored blood. Ingestion of nitrate
containing compounds can lead to methemoglobinemia. May cause nausea,
vomiting, and diarrhea, possibly with blood.
Inhalation:
May cause respiratory tract irritation. May cause methemoglobinemia,
cyanosis, convulsions, tachycardia, dyspnea (labored breathing), and
death. Methemoglobinemia is characterized by dizziness, drowsiness,
headache, breath shortness, cyanosis with bluish skin, rapid heart
rate and chocolate-brown blood. 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. Adverse
reproductive effects have been reported in animals.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
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 soap and 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. Get medical aid.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing,
give artificial respiration. Get medical aid if cough or other
symptoms appear. 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:
For methemoglobinemia, administer oxygen alone or with Methylene
blue depending on the methemoglobinemia concentration in the blood.
Antidote:
Methylene blue, alone or in combination with oxygen is indicated as
a treatment in nitrite induced methemoglobinemia.
**** 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 combustible materials
may cause a fire. 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. Containers may explode when heated.
Extinguishing Media:
Contact professional fire-fighters immediately. Cool containers with
flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. For small
fires, do NOT use dry chemicals, carbon dioxide, halon or foams.
USE WATER ONLY. For large fires, flood fire area with water from a
distance.
**** 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.
Remove all sources of ignition. 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. Empty containers retain
product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Keep
container tightly closed. Avoid contact with clothing and other
combustible materials. Do not get on skin or in eyes. Avoid ingestion
and inhalation. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill,
grind, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames.
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.
Keep away from flammable liquids. 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
ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.
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 gloves to prevent skin exposure.
Clothing:
Wear a chemical apron. Wear appropriate clothing to
prevent skin exposure.
Respirators:
Wear a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149
approved full-facepiece airline respirator in the
positive pressure mode with emergency escape
provisions.
