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

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Explosive when dry. Harmful in contact with skin. Toxic if
swallowed. Very toxic by inhalation. Irritating to respiratory system
and skin. Risk of serious damage to eyes. May cause sensitization by
skin contact. May cause heritable genetic damage. Contact with
combustible material may cause fire. May cause cancer by inhalation.
Very toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects
in the aquatic environment.Cancer suspect agent.

Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause severe eye irritation and possible injury.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic
reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material.
May be harmful if absorbed through the skin.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed.
Inhalation:
May be fatal if inhaled. Causes respiratory tract irritation.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated inhalation may cause nosebleeds, nasal
congestion, erosion of the teeth, perforation of the nasal septum,
chest pain and bronchitis. Prolonged or repeated eye contact may
cause conjunctivitis. Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause
sensitization dermatitis and possible destruction and/or ulceration.
May cause liver and kidney damage. May cause cancer in humans.

**** 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
immediately. Do NOT allow victim to rub eyes or keep eyes closed.
Extensive irrigation with water is required (at least 30 minutes).
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. Destroy contaminated shoes.
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:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. 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:
Persons with asthma, allergies, and know sensitization to chromic
acid or chromates may be at increased risk from exposure to this
product. Effects may be delayed. For methemoglobinemia, administer
oxygen alone or with Methylene Blue depending on the methemoglobin
concentration in the blood.

**** 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. This material poses an explosion
hazard when dry.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water only! Contact professional fire-fighters immediately. Cool
containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is
out. For large fires, flood fire area with water from a distance. Do
NOT use dry chemicals, CO2, Halon or foams.

**** 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.
Remove all sources of ignition. Wet area to prevent drying out.
Provide ventilation. Do not use combustible materials such as paper
towels to clean up spill. Keep combustibles (wood, paper, oil, etc.,)
away from spilled material.

**** 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. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on
clothing. Empty containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or
vapor), and can be dangerous. Keep container tightly closed. Do not
ingest or inhale. Do not store near combustible materials. Discard
contaminated shoes. 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. Keep away from sources of
ignition. Do not store near combustible materials. Keep container
closed when not in use. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area
away from incompatible substances. Keep away from acids. Keep away
from reducing agents.

**** 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.

**** SECTION 12 - ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION ****

Ecotoxicity:
Fish: Mosquito Fish: LC50 = 136 mg/L; 96 Hr; UnspecifiedFish:
Mosquito Fish: LC50 = 212 mg/L; 48 Hr; UnspecifiedChromium in soil
can be transported to the atmosphere by way of aerosol formation.
Chromium is also transported from soil through runoff and leaching
of water. Runoff could remove both chromium ions and bulk
precipitates of chromium, with final deposition on either a different

land area or a water body. Chromium is present usually as Cr(III) in
the soil and is characterized by its lack of mobility, except in
cases where Cr(VI) is involved. Chromium(VI) of natural origin is
rarely found.
