3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview:
Appearance: Purple
Odor: Not determined
EU Symbols: Xn - HARMFUL N - DANGEROUS FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
R PHRASES: R 20/21/22: Harmful by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed. R 32: Contact with acids
liberates very toxic gas. R 51/53: Toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long -term adverse effects in the aquatic
environment.
Emergency responseto cyanide exposure should be planned and practiced prior to work with cyanides. First
responders should start treatment and get medical attention immediately. Antidote: break an amyl nitrite pearl in cloth
and hold lightly under nose for 15 seconds. Repeat 5 times at 15 second intervals. Transport to hospital immediately.
Note to Physician: Have a cyanide first aid kit available. If patient has not responded to amyl nitrite, inject
intraveneously 10 ml of a 3% solution of sodium nitrite at a rate not greater than 2,5 - 5 ml/min. Follow directly with 50
ml of a 25 % solution of sodium thiosulfate at the same rate by the same route. Keep patient under observation. If signs
of poisoning persist or reappear, repeat nitrite and thiosulfate injections 1 hour later in one -half the original doses.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Spill Response Notice:
Only persons properly qualified to respond to an emergency involving hazardous substances should respond to a spill
involving chemi cals. See Section 13, Special Instructions for disposal assistance.
Containment Technique: Releases of this material may contaminate the environment. Stop spilled material from being
released to the environment.
Clean -up Technique: Carefully mist spill with bleach until saturated. Scoop up slurry into a large beaker. Oxidize spilled
material with a 50% excess of bleach containing at least 5% sodium hypochlorite. Allow to react for 24 hours in a fume
hood. Flush reacted material to the drain wi th a large excess of water. Decontaminate area with bleach solution.
Evacuation Procedure: Evacuate local area (15 foot radius or as directed by your facility's emergency response plan)
when: any quantity is spilled. If conditions warrant, increase the size of the evacuation.
