**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Very toxic by inhalation. Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and
skin. Limited evidence of a carcinogenic effect. Toxic in contact
with skin and if swallowed. Very toxic to aquatic organisms, may
cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.Possible
risks of irreversible effects.Dangerous for the environment.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation and possible burns. May cause visual damage,
inflammation of the conjunctiva, corneal opacity and slight
physiologic dilatation of the pupil.
Skin:
May be fatal if absorbed through the skin. Substance is rapidly
absorbed through the skin. Causes symptoms similar to those of
inhalation. Causes skin irritation and possible burns.
Ingestion:
May be fatal if swallowed. Causes gastrointestinal irritation with
nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May cause liver and kidney damage. May
cause effects similar to those of acute inhalation.
Inhalation:
May be fatal if inhaled. May cause increased perspiration, increased
temperature, increased heart rate, increased breathing, weakness,
nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, headache, Systemic intoxication is
cumulative and has been fatal. May cause violent sneezing and
coughing. Inhalation may cause damage to the circulatory system and
heart and possible death due to cardiac failure. Causes irritation
of the mucous membrane and upper respiratory tract.
Chronic:
Possible cancer hazard based on tests with laboratory animals. May
cause liver and kidney damage. Animal studies have reported that
fetal effects/abnormalities may occur when maternal toxicity is
seen. Chronic exposure has resulted in an increased prevalence of
conjunctivitis, sinsuitis, bronchitis, polyneuritis, and dermatitis.
Exposure may cause blood effects and bone marrow damage. Chronic
exposure may cause lung damage. Laboratory experiments have resulted
in mutagenic effects.
**** 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. 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:
Treat symptomatically and supportively. Persons with pre-existing
skin disorders or impaired respiratory or pulmonary function may be
at increased risk to the effects of this substance. 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. Water runoff can cause environmental damage. Dike
and collect water used to fight fire. During a fire, irritating and
highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or
combustion.
Extinguishing Media:
In case of fire, use water, dry chemical, chemical foam, or
alcohol-resistant foam. Use extinguishing media most appropriate for
the surrounding fire. Cool containers with flooding quantities of
water until well after fire is out.
**** 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.
Provide ventilation. Do not let this chemical enter the environment.
**** 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:
Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Poison room
locked.
**** 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.
