=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

LD50 LC50 Mixture:NOT PROVIDED
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO	OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE: INHALATION:
    HARMFUL IF INHALED. OVEREXPOSURE TO HIGH DUST CONCENTRATION MAY
    RESULT IN PERSISTENT HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, NAUSEA, VOMITING,
    CYANOSIS, COMA, CONVULSIONS, AND DEATH.  EYES: MAY CAUSE EYE
    IRRITATION. SKIN: MAY CAUSE IRRITATION. INGESTION: MAY BE HARMFUL
    OR FATAL IF SWALLOWED. EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE ARE THE SAME AS BY
    THE INHALATION ROUTE. THIS COMPOUND IS A VASODI LATOR AND FORMS
    METHEMOGLOBIN.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION: OVEREXPOSURE TO HIGH DUST
    CONCENTRATION MAY RESULT IN PERSISTENT HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, NAUSEA,
    VOMITING, CYANOSIS, COMA, CONVULSIONS, AND DEATH. EYES: MAY CAUSE
    EYE IRRITATION. SKIN: MAY CA USE IRRITATION. INGESTION: MAY BE
    HARMFUL OR FATAL IF SWALLOWED.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NOT PROVIDED

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

Eyes: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT
    LEAST 15 MINUTES, LIFTING UPPER AND LOWER EYELIDS OCCASIONALLY. GET
    MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN: FLUSH WITH WATER, THEN WASH WITH SOAP AND
    PLENTY O F WATER. INGESTION: IF SWALLOWED, IF CONSCIOUS, GIVE ONE
    OR TWO GLASSES OF WATER TO DRINK. INDUCE VOMITING. REPEAT UNTIL
    VOMIT FLUID IS CLEAR. CALL A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY. NEVER GIVE
    ANYTHING BY MOUT H TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON. INHALATION: REMOVE TO
    FRESH AIR. IF ILLNESS OR DISCOMFORT DEVELOPS, GET MEDICAL
    ATTENTION.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Flash Point:=537.8C, 1000.F
EXPLODE
Extinguishing Media:FLOOD WITH WATER.
Fire Fighting Procedures:IN FIRE CONDITIONS, WEAR A NIOSH-APPROVED
    SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WITH FULL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING TO
    PREVENT CONTACT WITH SKIN AND EYES. USE FLOODING AMOUNTS OF WATER
    IN EARLY STAGES OF FIRE.  (1993 EMERGENCY RESPONSE GUIDEBOOK, DOT P
    5800.6, GUIDE PAGE NO. 35).
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:OXIDIZER. IF SODIUM NITRITE IS IN CONTACT
    WITH EASILY OXIDIZABLE SUBSTANCES, VIOLENT COMBUSTION/EXPLOSION MAY
    RESULT UPON IGNITION FROM ANY SOURCE. INCREASES FLAMMABILITY OF ANY
    COMBUSTIBLE SUBSTANCE.  EXPLODES WHEN HEATED OVER 1000F. AT HIGH
    TEMPERATURES 600-750F OR ABOVE, WILL GIVE OFF TOXIC OXIDES OF
    NITROGEN FUMES.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:SWEEP UP AND PLACE IN SUITABLE CONTAINER. DO
    NOT ALLOW TO REMAIN IN CONTACT WITH COMBUSTIBLES. FLUSH SPILL AREA
    WITH WATER.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:KEEP CONTAINER TIGHTLY CLOSED. STORE
    IN A COOL, DRY PLACE AWAY FROM WATER OR ACIDS. HYGROSCOPIC. IGNITES
    WITH FRICTION WHEN IN CONTACT WITH ORGANIC MATERIALS. AVOID CONTACT
    WITH SKIN, EYES AND CLOTHIN G. WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING. KEEP
    CONTAINER TIGHTLY CLOSED WHEN NOT IN USE.
Other Precautions:MIXTURES WITH INCOMPATIBLE MATERIAL MAY REACT
    VIOLENTLY/EXPLODE. SODIUM NITRITE SHOULD NOT BE MIXED IN QUANTITY
    WITH OTHER CHEMICALS EXCEPT WHEN THE BEHAVIOR OF THE MIXTURE IS
    KNOWN IN ADVANCE. REMOVE /WASH CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. KEEP OUT OF
    REACH OF CHILDREN. DO NOT WEAR CONTACT LENSES WHEN WORKING	WITH
    CHEMICALS.

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:NONE REQUIRED IN NORMAL LABORATORY HANDLING. IF
    DUSTY, WORK IN VENTILATION HOOD OR WEAR A STANDARD NIOSH-APPROVED
    PARTICULATE RESPIRATOR.
Ventilation:LOCAL/MECHANICAL:RECOMMENDED
Protective Gloves:FOR REPEATED CONTACT WEAR RUBBER GLOVES.
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL SAFETY GLASSES
Other Protective Equipment:SMOCK, APRON, EYE WASH STATION, VENTILATION
    HOOD, PROPER GLOVES.
Supplemental Safety and Health
READ LABEL ON CONTAINER BEFORE USING. FOR LABORATORY USE ONLY. NOT FOR
    DRUG, FOOD OR HOUSEHOLD USE.
