**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Toxic if swallowed. Danger of cumulative effects. Irritating to
eyes, respiratory system and skin.Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from
the air).
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Contact produces irritation, tearing, and burning pain. May cause
conjunctivitis.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. Causes gastrointestinal irritation with
nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Vanadium compounds can cause
polycythemia (an increase in the total red cell mass of the blood),
followed by red blood cell destruction, anemia, loss of appetite,
pallor, and emaciation. May cause greenish-black tongue
discoloration due to deposition of vanadium salts.
Inhalation:
May be fatal if inhaled. Causes upper respiratory tract irritation.
Causes irritation of the mucous membrane. Inhalation may cause sore
throat, shortness of breath, labored breathing, coughing, and
pulmonary edema.
Chronic:
Repeated exposure may cause sensitization dermatitis. Chronic
exposure may cause a greenish tongue, metallic taste, cough, chronic
bronchitis, and emphysema. Material is a potent enzyme inhibitor.
Effects may be delayed. Laboratory experiments have resulted in
mutagenic effects. May produce scattered allergy-like eczematous
skin lesions symptomatic of vanadium toxicity.
**** 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. Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
Call a poison control center. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting
unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by
mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid.
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:
Green coloration of the tongue, resulting from the deposition of
vanadium salts is an indicator of exposure; however, may be absent
even in prolonged exposure.. Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Effects may be delayed.
**** 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. This
material in sufficient quantity and reduced particle size is capable
of creating a dust explosion. Contact with metals may evolve
flammable hydrogen gas.
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. 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. Use
water spray to disperse the gas/vapor. Provide ventilation.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Do not
breathe dust, vapor, mist, or gas. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or
on clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Do not ingest or inhale.
Use only in a chemical fume hood.
Storage:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Do not store near
combustible materials. Keep container closed when not in use. Store
in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated
area away from incompatible substances. 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 only under a
chemical fume hood.
Exposure Limits
CAS# 7803-55-6:
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 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 respirator use.
