**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: blue.
Warning! May cause allergic skin reaction. Hygroscopic. Harmful if
swallowed. May cause severe eye irritation and possible injury. May
cause liver and kidney damage. Causes severe respiratory tract
irritation. Inhalation of fumes may cause metal-fume fever. Eye
contact may result in permanent eye damage. May cause severe skin
irritation. Causes severe digestive tract irritation with pain,
nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May corrode the digestive tract with
hemorrhaging and possible shock.
Target Organs: Kidneys, liver.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Exposure to particulates or solution may cause conjunctivitis,
ulceration, and corneal abnormalities. Causes redness and pain.
Skin:
May cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes
evident upon re-exposure to this material. May cause irritation with
burning pain, itching and redness. Causes redness and pain.

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Page 2 of 7
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. Causes gastrointestinal irritation with
nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May cause hemorrhaging of the
digestive tract.
Inhalation:
Causes severe irritation of upper respiratory tract with coughing,
burns, breathing difficulty, and possible coma. Inhalation of fumes
may cause metal fume fever, which is characterized by flu-like
symptoms with metallic taste, fever, chills, cough, weakness, chest
pain, muscle pain and increased white blood cell count.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis. May cause
liver and kidney damage. Individuals with Wilson's disease are unable
to metabolize copper. Thus, copper accumulates in various tissues
and may result in liver, kidney, and brain damage.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids. Get medical aid
immediately.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at
least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Ingestion:
Induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls
of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person. Get medical aid immediately.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure to fresh air
immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Antidote:
The use of d-Penicillamine as a chelating agent should be determined
by qualified medical personnel.
**** SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES ****
General Information:
Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent contact with skin
and eyes. Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) to
prevent contact with thermal decomposition products. Substance is
noncombustible.
