EFFECTS OF ACUTE EXPOSURE
Mild irritation, redness and mild pain.
SKIN / EYE CONTACT :
INHALATION :
Mild, temporary, irritation with coughing and
sneezing.
INGESTION : Toxic. Causes nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea.
May cause severe intestinal bleeding, destruction of red
blood cells, formation if inactive hemoglobin
(Methemoglobinemia). May cause kidney damage or failure,
with bloody urine, and then cessation of urination. May
cause liver damage, laboured breathing, convulsions, coma.
Estimated human lethal dose is 10 to 30 grams. Recovery
from non-lethal dose may take several weeks and may not be
complete.

VENTING: General or local exhaust ventilation required. Provide dust collectors with explosion vents.
LEAK AND SPILL PROCEDURE
Restrict access to are of spill. Eliminate all sources of ignition and remove all combustible materials
from the area. Cleanup personnel must be thoroughly trained in the hazards of this chemical and its safe
use, and must wear protective equipment and clothing sufficient to prevent inhalation of dust or fumes,
and contact with skin and eyes. Prevent from entering sewers and waterways. Contain spill with inert
material (earth, sand, and inert absorbent). Avoid generating dust. Collect in suitable, labeled, covered
containers for disposal. Contaminated absorbent may pose same hazards as the chemical; treat with
caution. Flush area of spill with large amounts of running water.
WASTE DISPOSAL
Follow all federal, provincial and local regulations for disposal.
HANDLING PROCEDURES AND EQUIPMENT
Workers using this chemical must be thoroughly trained in its hazards and its safe use. Keep away from
combustible or organic materials, and all sources of ignition. Use non-sparking tools. Avoid contact.
Use the smallest possible amount for purpose, in designated areas with adequate ventilation. Keep
containers closed when not in use and when empty. Empty containers may contain hazardous residue;
treat with caution.
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS
Store in suitable, labeled containers, in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, out of direct sunlight. Store
away from incompatible, combustible or organic materials. Storage facilities should be constructed of
non-combustible materials. Keep away from all ignition sources. Keep containers tightly closed when
not in use and when empty. Protect from damage, and inspect frequently for signs of leaking.

SPECIFIC MEASURES
Flush eyes with plenty of low pressure running water for at least 20 minutes,
EYE CONTACT: holding eyelids open during flushing. If irritation persists, repeat flushing and
get medical attention.
Remove contaminated clothing, including watches, rings, belts and shoes under
