**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Toxic by inhalation and if swallowed. Danger of cumulative effects.
Very toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects
in the aquatic environment.Possible risk of irreversible
effects.Light sensitive.Carcinogen.Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture
from the air).
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation.
Ingestion:
Causes gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea. May cause liver and kidney damage. Human fatalities have
been reported from acute poisoning. Chronic ingestion of iodides
during pregnancy has resulted in fetal death, severe goiter, and
cretinoid appearance of the newborn.
Inhalation:
Causes respiratory tract irritation. May cause liver and kidney
damage.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated inhalation may cause kidney and lung damage.
Chronic ingestion may cause liver damage. Chronic ingestion of
iodides during pregnancy has resulted in fetal death, severe goiter,
and cretinoid appearance of the newborn.. Prolonged exposure to
iodides may produce iodism in sensitive individuals. Symptoms could
include skin rash, running nose and headache.
**** 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.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Immediately 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. Get medical aid.
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. If breathing has ceased apply artificial respiration
using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device such as a bag and a
mask.
Notes to Physician:
**** 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
extinguishing media appropriate to the surrounding fire. Substance is
noncombustible.
Extinguishing Media:
Substance is noncombustible; use agent most appropriate to
extinguish surrounding fire.
**** 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. Reduce airborne dust and prevent scattering by moistening
with water. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in
the Protective Equipment section. Avoid generating dusty conditions.
Provide ventilation.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Wash hands before eating. Remove
contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Use with adequate
ventilation. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid
contact with skin and eyes. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid
ingestion and inhalation. Store protected from light.
Storage:
Store in a cool place in the original container and protect from
sunlight. Store in a tightly closed container. 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.
