===================== Hazards Identification =====================
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:No IARC:No OSHA:No
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid: INHALATION: It is unlikely that emergency treatment will be
required. However, in case of contact with media remove to fresh
air. If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention
immediately. SKIN CONTACT: It is unlikely that emergency treatment
will be required. However, in case of contact with media promptly
wash with soap and running water. Remove contaminated clothing.
Wash clothing before reuse. If burns occur from exposure to
hydrogen chloride, proceed with the following: Cover affected area
securely with sterile, loose-fitting dressing. Treat
symptomatically and supportively. Get medical attention
immediately. EYE CONTACT: It is unlikely that emergency treatment
will be required. However, in case of contact with compound,
immediately flush with plenty of low pressure water for at least 20
minutes. Remove any contact lenses to ensure thorough flushing.
Call a physician. In case of contact with hydrogen chloride vapors,
wash eyes immediately with large amounts of water, occasionally
lifting upper and lower lids, until no evidence of chemical remains
(at least 15-20 minutes). If burns occur, proceed with the
following: Cover affected area securely with sterile, dry,
loose-fitting dressing. Treat symptomatically and supportively. Get
medical attention immediately. INGESTION: The system is sold as a
sealed unit and exposure to the compound via ingestion is not
expected. If ingestion does occur, call a physician. Avoid gastric
lavage or emesis. Give large amounts of water or milk. Repeat if
vomiting occurs. Never make an unconscious person vomit or drink
fluids. If vomiting occurs, keep head lower than hips to help
prevent aspiration. Maintain airway and respiration. Treat
symptomatically and supportively. Get medical attention
immediately.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Extinguishing Media:Use extinguishing agents appropriate for
surrounding fire.
Fire Fighting Procedures:Move container from fire area if it can be
done without risk. Avoid inhalation of material or combustion
by-products. Stay upwind and keep out of low areas.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:Negligible fire hazard as long as the
container is not punctured or a wrong gas such as pure oxygen is
not accidentally piped to the canister.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:Collect spilled material in appropriate
container for disposal. Notify Local Emergency Planning Committee
and State Emergency Response Commission for release greater than or
equal to RQ (U.S. SARA Section 304). If release occurs in the U.S.
and is reportable under CERCLA Section 103, notify the National
Response Center at (800)424-8802 (USA) or (202)426-2675 (USA).
Neutralizing Agent:
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:Store and handle in accordance with
all current regulations and standards. Store and handle in
accordance with all current regulations and standards. SARA Section
303 requires facilities storing a material with a TPQ to
participate in local emergency response planning (U.S. EPA 40 CFR
355.30). See original container for storage recommendations. Notify
State Emergency Response Commission for storage or use at amounts
greater than or equal to the TPQ (U.S. EPA SARA Section 302). Keep
separated from incompatible substances.
Other Precautions:
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:The following respirators and maximum use
concentrations are drawn from NIOSH and/or OSHA. 50 ppm Any
chemical cartridge respirator with cartridge(s) providing
protection against this substance. Any air-purifying respirator
with a full facepiece and a canister providing protection against
this substance. Any powered, air-purifying respirator with
cartridge(s) providing protection against this substance. Any
supplied-air respirator. Any self-contained breathing apparatus
with a full facepiece. Escape - Any air-purifying respirator with a
full facepiece and an acid gas canister. Any appropriate
escape-type, self-contained breathing apparatus. For Unknown
Concentrations or Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health - Any
supplied-air respirator with full facepiece and operated in a
pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode in combination with
a separate escape supply. Any self-contained breathing apparatus
with a full facepiece.
Ventilation:Not required during normal system use. In the event of
system rupture, media removal from the system, or exposure to the
media: Provide local exhaust ventilation system. Ensure compliance
with applicable exposure limits.
Protective Gloves:Not required during normal system use. In the event
of system rupture, media removal from the system, or exposure to
the media: Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves.
Eye Protection:Not required during normal system use. In the event of
system rupture, media removal from the system, or exposure to the
media: Wear splash resistant safety goggles with a faceshield.
Provide an emergency eye wash fountain and quick drench shower in
the immediate work area.
Other Protective Equipment:Not required during normal system use. In
the event of system rupture, media removal from the system, or
exposure to the media: Wear appropriate chemical resistant
clothing.
