Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE: INHALATION OF DUST WILL CAUSE
RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION & MAY BE FATAL. DUSTS WILL IRRITATE,
BURN & DAMAGE THE EYES. DUST WILL CAUSE SKIN IRRITATION & RASH.
FATAL AMOUNTS CAN BE ABSORBED THR OUGH THE SKIN. SWALLOWING CAN
CAUSE DEATH. CHRONIC: LOSS OF APPETITE, HEADACHE, WEAKNESS, NAUSEA,
DIZZINESS & IRRITATION
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:DATA PER MSDS
Effects of Overexposure:EYE, SKIN & RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION.
PROLONGED OR REPEATED SKIN CONTACT MAY RESULT IN ITCHING RASH
CAHRACTERIZED BY MACULAR, POPULAR, AND VESICULAR ERUPTIONS USUALLY
FOLLOWED BY SECONDARY INFECTI ON. CAN CAUSE DEATH THROUGH CHEMICAL
ASPHYXIA. MAY CAUSE HEADACHE, WEAKNESS, NAUSEA, DIZZINESS AND LOSS
OF APPETITE.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:INDIVIDUALS WITH PRE-EXISTING
DISEASES OF THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM MAY HAVE INCREASED
SUSCEPTIBILITY TO THE TOXICITY OF EXCESSIVE EXPOSURES.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:PLAN & PRACTICE ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE OF CYANIDE
EXPOSURE BEFORE BEGINNING WORK WITH CYANIDES. IMMEDIATELY GIVE
VICTIM OXYGEN AND AMYL NITRITE WHILE WAITING FOR INTRAVENOUS
INJECTIONS FROM MEDIC AL PERSONNEL. INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH
AIR/CPR. EYE: FLUSH WITH PLENTY OF WATER. SKIN: REMOVE CONTAMINATED
CLOTHING & WASH SKIN. INGESTION: GIVE 1% SODIUM THIOSULFATE
SOLUTION & INDUCE VOMITING.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Flash Point:NONE
Autoignition Temp:Autoignition Temp Text:NONE
Extinguishing Media:FLOOD W/WATER. DO NOT USE CARBON DIOXIDE WHICH
PRODUCES FLAM HYDROGEN CYANIDE GAS BY CHEM REACTION.
Fire Fighting Procedures:FIRE FIGHTERS SHOULD USE NIOSH APPROVED SCBA &
FULL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT WHEN FIGHTING CHEMICAL FIRE. USE WATER
SPRAY TO COOL NEARBY CONTAINERS EXPOSED TO FIRE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CONTACT W/ACIDS/ACID SALTS LIBERATES
HIGHLY TOXIC & FLAMMABLE HYDROCYANIC ACID GAS.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:WEAR PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT & SCBA. SMALL SPILL:
SWEEP UP AND DISPOSE OF IN DOT-APPROVED WASTE CONTAINERS. LARGE
SPILL: SHOVEL INTO DOT-APPROVED WASTE CONTAINERS. KEEP OUT OF
SEWERS, STORM DRAINS, SURFA CE WATERS, AND SOIL. KEEP SPILLAGE DRY.
Neutralizing Agent:FLUSH RESIDUE WITH DILUTE SOLUTION OF SODIUM
HYPOCHLORITE OR HYDROGEN PEROXIDE.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN A COOL, DRY, WELL VENTILATED
AREA. KEEP CONTAINERS TIGHTLY CLOSED WHEN NOT IN USE. DO NOT STORE
NEAR ACIDS, OXIDIZERS, FLAMMABLES OR FOODS.
Other Precautions:DO NOT TAKE INTERNALLY. DO NOT BREATHE DUST. AVOID
CONTACT WITH EYES, SKIN OR CLOTHING. USE WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION.
WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING. FOR INDUSTRIAL USE ONLY.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:IF USE CONDITIONS GENERATE DUSTS, WEAR A NIOSH
APPROVED RESPIRATOR APPROPRIATE FOR EMISSION LEVELS. RESPIRATORS
MAY BE A FULL FACEPIECE AIR-PURIFYING CARTRIDGE RESPIRATOR WITH
PARTICULATE FILTERS, A S CBA, OR SUPPLIED-AIR RESPIRATOR.
Ventilation:LOCAL MECHANICAL EXHAUST VENTILATION CAPABLE OF MINIMIZING
DUST EMISSIONS AT THE POINT OF USE.
