SECTION 3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Classification: Product is chemically classified as a non-dangerous preparation
However, avoid repeated exposures and/or ingestion of preparation containing sodium azide, toxic if swallowed, even if
its concentration is below allowed limits.
SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Give large quantities of water. Consult a physician or poison control center
immediately. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Skin Care: Wipe off excess material from skin then immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15
minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Get medical attention.
Eyes contact: promptly flush eyes with large amounts of water for 15 minutes, lifting eyelids occasionally. Seek medical
attention

SECTION 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Extinguishing Media: water spray, dry chemical, foam or carbon dioxide. No restriction.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: In case of fire, wear a full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained
respirator with full-face piece operated in the pressure demand or other positive.
Unusual Fire Fighting Procedures: Keep away from heat, sparks and flames. Contact with strong oxidizing or reducing
agents may create an exothermic reaction. Although sodium azide reacts with both copper and lead to produce
explosive azides, at this concentration there is no serious danger.
Thermal Decomposition: Dangerous decomposition is not anticipated.
SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Steps To Be Taken After Spillage: Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (rubber gloves and protective
clothing) Absorb with an inert material (vermiculite, dry sand, earth) and place in a chemical waste container. Wash
contaminated area with dilute bleach or soap. . If sample diluent has already diluted serum specimens, disinfect
carefully.
Absorbant Material: Do not use combustible materials, as sawdust.
Waste Disposal Method: Consult a specialist for disposal of the spilled substance.
SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling: Keep in its original container, tightly closed. Protect from physical damage. Open and handle container
carefully. Wear rubber gloves and protective clothing. Do not swallow. Avoid a prolonged and excessive contact with
skin.
Storage: Store between +2掳C (35,6掳F) and +8掳C (46,4掳F).
Other Precautions: Do not store near heat or ignition sources.
SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Product TLV: Not known.
Sodium azide TLV (pure substance): 0.29 mg/m3 (Ceiling)
Respiratory Protection: None
Eye Protection: Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
Hand Protection: One-way rubber gloves. Wash hands before breaks and at end of the work.
Other Protective Equipment: Protective Clothing

SECTION 12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Use product according with good laboratory practices and avoid releasing to the environment.
Ecotoxicity (aquatic toxicity): Product contains 0,095% sodium azide. Sodium azide concentration is below EC
directives allowed limits (0,25%, w/w). So the product is classified as not harmful to the aquatic environment, according
to the legislation in force (1999/45/CE and amendments). However, because the sodium azide LC50/96H values for fish
are less than 1 mg/L, do not empty product into water or drains.
Mobility: Product is not expected to selectively partition and absorb to soil or sediments.
Persistence and Degradability: when released into the soil, or into water, this product is not expected to persist in the
environment.
