                  **** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION **** 
 
                               EMERGENCY OVERVIEW 
Irritating to eyes and skin.Light sensitive. 
 
Potential Health Effects 
     Eye: 
          Causes eye irritation.  May cause chemical conjunctivitis and 
          corneal damage. 
     Skin: 
          Causes skin irritation. May cause cyanosis of the extremities. 
     Ingestion: 
          May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and 
          diarrhea. Methemoglobinemia is characterized by dizziness, 
          drowsiness, headache, shortness of breath, cyanosis (bluish 
          discoloration of skin due to deficient oxygenation of the blood), 
          rapid heart rate and chocolate-brown colored blood. Overexposure may 
          cause methemoglobinemia. Ingestion of large amounts of fluoride may 
          cause salivation, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fever, labored 
          breathing. Exposure to fluoride compounds can result in systemic 
          toxic effects on the heart, liver, and kidneys.  It may also deplete 
          calcium levels in the body leading to hypocalcemia and death. 
          Contains fluoride. Fluoride can reduce calcium levels leading to 
          fatal hypocalcemia. 
     Inhalation: 
          May cause respiratory tract irritation. Aspiration may lead to 
          pulmonary edema. Methemoglobinemia is characterized by dizziness, 
          drowsiness, headache, shortness of breath, cyanosis (bluish 
          discoloration of skin due to deficient oxygenation of the blood), 
          rapid heart rate and chocolate-brown blood. Can produce delayed 
          pulmonary edema. Inhalation of aniline causes anoxia due to the 
          formation of methemoglobin. Inhalation at high concentrations may 
          cause CNS depression and asphixiation. 
     Chronic: 
          Chronic inhalation and ingestion may cause chronic fluoride 
          poisoning (fluorosis) characterized by weight loss, weakness, 
          anemia, brittle bones, and stiff joints. May cause 
          methemoglobinemia, which is characterized by chocolate-brown colored 
          blood, headache, weakness, dizziness, breath shortness, cyanosis 
          (bluish skin due to deficient oxygenation of blood), rapid heart 
          rate, unconsciousness and possible death. Effects may be delayed. 
          Chronic exposure to fluoride compounds may cause systemic 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. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 
          minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing 
          before reuse. 
     Ingestion: 
          Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical 
          aid. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse mouth and 
          drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. 
     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. 
     Notes to Physician: 
          Treat symptomatically and supportively. For methemoglobinemia, 
          administer oxygen alone or with Methylene Blue depending on the 
          methemoglobin concentration in the blood. 
     Antidote: 
          Methylene blue, alone or in combination with oxygen is indicated as 
          a treatment in nitrite induced methemoglobinemia. 
 
                  **** 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 water 
          spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Combustible liquid. 
          Vapors may be heavier than air.  They can spread along the ground and 
          collect in low or confined areas. Containers may explode when heated. 
     Extinguishing Media: 
          Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Use water spray, 
          dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or appropriate foam. 
 
                **** 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. Remove all 
          sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool. Provide ventilation. 
 
                   **** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE **** 
 
     Handling: 
          Wash thoroughly after handling. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and 
          clothing. Empty containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or 
          vapor), and can be dangerous. Keep container tightly closed. Keep 
          away from heat, sparks and flame. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Use 
          with adequate ventilation. Store protected from light. Wash clothing 
          before reuse. 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. Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, 
          well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. 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 
          ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.
