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

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Explosive when dry. Highly flammable. Toxic by inhalation, in
contact with skin and if swallowed. Forms very sensitive explosive
metallic compounds. May cause sensitization by skin contact.

Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation. May result in corneal injury.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic
reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. May cause gastrointestinal irritation with
nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May cause corrosion and permanent
tissue destruction of the esophagus and digestive tract. May cause
headache.
Inhalation:
May cause respiratory tract irritation. Material has a low vapor
pressure, so exposure to vapor is not likely.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis. May cause
kidney injury. Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause yellow
staining of the skin and conjunctiva and "yellow vision".

**** 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:
If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical
aid immediately.
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:

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

General Information:
Evacuate area and fight fire from a safe distance. As in any fire,
wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand,
MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear.
Exposure to heat may promote violent decomposition. This material is
an explosion hazard when exposed to heat, mechanical shock, or
friction. This material poses an explosion hazard when dry. Approach
fire from upwind to avoid hazardous vapors and toxic decomposition
products.
Extinguishing Media:
Do NOT use carbon dioxide. Do NOT use halogenated agents. Use
flooding quantities of water as spray. 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:
Remove all sources of ignition. If the material is dry, explosives
experts may be necessary to dispose of the spill. Isolate area and
deny entry. Wet area to prevent drying out. Provide ventilation.
Evacuate unnecessary personnel.

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

Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate ventilation.
Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Material is heat, shock
and/or friction sensitive. Use care in handling and storage. Loosen
closure cautiously before opening. Avoid breathing dust, vapor,
mist, or gas. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep away
from heat, sparks and flame. Container should be opened by a
technically qualified person. Avoid mechanical shock and friction.
Do not allow water to evaporate from product. Dry picric acid is
explosive. Dried crystals may be present within threads of screw top
containers and present a detonation hazard when opening. If a bottle
of picric acid is old and has a metal cap, care must be exercised as
highly shock sensitive metal picrates may have formed.
Storage:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Keep away from sources of
ignition. Store in a tightly closed container. Keep container closed
to prevent drying out. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area
away from incompatible substances. Keep away from metals. Material
can explode if dry. Do not store on concrete. Separate from organic
materials. Protect from freezing.

**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****

Engineering Controls:
Use process enclosure, local exhaust ventilation, or other
engineering controls to control airborne levels below recommended
exposure limits. Facilities storing or utilizing this material should
be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower.

Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin
exposure.
Respirators:
Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29
CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Use a

respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if
irritation or other symptoms are experienced.
