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

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Reacts violently with water. Toxic by inhalation, in contact with
skin and if swallowed. Causes severe burns. Very toxic to aquatic
organisms. Toxic : danger of serious damage to health by prolonged
exposure through inhalation.Corrosive.Moisture sensitive.Lachrymator
(substance which increases the flow of tears).

Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Lachrymator (substance which increases the flow of tears). Causes
eye irritation and burns.
Skin:
Harmful if absorbed through the skin. Causes severe skin irritation
and burns.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. Causes gastrointestinal tract burns.
Inhalation:
Harmful if inhaled. Causes severe irritation of upper respiratory
tract with coughing, burns, breathing difficulty, and possible coma.
May cause abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and inflammation of the
gums and mouth. Inhalation of high concentrations may cause pulmonary
edema.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause lung irritation, chest
pain, and pulmonary edema.

**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****

Eyes:
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for
at least 15 minutes. Get medical aid immediately.
Skin:
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for
at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Get medical aid immediately. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Get medical aid immediately.
If victim is fully conscious, give a cupful of water. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Inhalation:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.

**** SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES ****

General Information:
Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Approach fire
from upwind to avoid hazardous vapors and toxic decomposition
products. Not combustible, but if involved in a fire, decomposes to
produce hydrogen chloride.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Use extinguishing
media most appropriate for the surrounding fire.

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

General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth),
then place in suitable container. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and
ditches which lead to waterways. Clean up spills immediately,
observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Do not
expose spill to water. Approach spill from upwind.

**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****

Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on
clothing. Do not ingest or inhale. Wash clothing before reuse.
Discard contaminated shoes. Keep away from strong bases and metals.
Use only with adequate ventilation.
Storage:
Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Corrosives
area. Do not store in metal containers. Do not store near alkaline
substances. Store protected from moisture. Separate from alcohols.

**** 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.
