ACUTE EFFECTS
MAY BE FATAL IF INHALED, SWALLOWED, OR ABSORBED THROUGH SKIN.
MATERIAL IS EXTREMELY DESTRUCTIVE TO TISSUE OF THE MUCOUS MEMBRANES
AND UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT, EYES AND SKIN.
INHALATION MAY RESULT IN SPASM, INFLAMMATION AND EDEMA OF THE
LARYNX AND BRONCHI, CHEMICAL PNEUMONITIS AND PULMONARY EDEMA.
SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE MAY INCLUDE BURNING SENSATION, COUGHING,
WHEEZING, LARYNGITIS, SHORTNESS OF BREATH, HEADACHE, NAUSEA AND
VOMITING.
MAY CAUSE ALLERGIC RESPIRATORY AND SKIN REACTIONS.
CHRONIC EFFECTS

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
INHALATION OF DICHROMATE DUSTS CAN CAUSE ULCERATION AND PERFORATION
OF THE NASAL SEPTUM. CONTACT WITH BREAKS IN THE SKIN CAN CAUSE
ULCERATION (CHROME SORES). OTHER SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE INCLUDE EROSION
AND DISCOLORATION OF THE TEETH, NEPHRITIS, EPIGASTRIC PAIN
(INFLAMMATION AND ULCERATION OF THE GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT).

SECTION 13. - - - - - - - - - DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS - - - - - - - - -
CAUTIOUSLY ACIDIFY A 3% SOLUTION OR A SUSPENSION OF THE MATERIAL TO
PH 2 WITH SULFURIC ACID. GRADUALLY ADD A 50% EXCESS OF AQUEOUS SODIUM
BISULFITE WITH STIRRING AT ROOM TEMPERATURE. AN INCREASE IN TEMPERA-
TURE INDICATES THAT A REACTION IS TAKING PLACE. IF NO REACTION IS
OBSERVED ON THE ADDITION OF ABOUT 10% OF THE SODIUM BISULFITE SOLUTION
INITIATE IT BY CAUTIOUSLY ADDING MORE ACID. IF MANGANESE, CHROMIUM,
OR MOLYBDENUM ARE PRESENT ADJUST THE PH OF THE SOLUTION TO 7 AND TREAT
WITH SULFIDE TO PRECIPITATE FOR BURIAL AS HAZARDOUS WASTE. DESTROY
EXCESS SULFIDE, NEUTRALIZE AND FLUSH THE SOLUTION DOWN THE DRAIN.
OBSERVE ALL FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS.
