Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
EYE
If this product comes in contact with the eyes:
路 Wash out immediately with fresh running water.
路 Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from eye and
moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids.
路 If pain persists or recurs seek medical attention.
路 Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled
personnel.
SKIN
If skin or hair contact occurs:
路 Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).
路 Seek medical attention in event of irritation.
INHALED
路 If dust is inhaled, remove from contaminated area.
路 Encourage patient to blow nose to ensure clear passage of breathing.
路 If irritation or discomfort persists seek medical attention.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
For potassium intoxications:
路 Hyperkalaemia, in patients with abnormal renal function, results from reduced renal
excretion following intoxication.
路 The presence of electrocardiographic evidence of hyperkalemia or serum potassium levels
exceeding 7.5 mE/L indicates a medical emergency requiring an intravenous line and
constant cardiac monitoring.
路 The intravenous ingestion of 5-10 ml of 10% calcium gluconate, in adults, over a 2
minute period antagonises the cardiac and neuromuscular effects. The duration of action
is approximately 1 hour. [Ellenhorn and Barceloux: Medical Toxicology].

FOOTNOTES
1 PROTECTIVE ACTION ZONE is defined as the area in which people are at risk of harmful exposure. This zone
assumes that random changes in wind direction confines the vapour plume to an area within 30 degrees on
either side of the predominant wind direction, resulting in a crosswind protective action distance equal
to the downwind protective action distance.

Section 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
2 PROTECTIVE ACTIONS should be initiated to the extent possible, beginning with those closest to the spill
and working away from the site in the downwind direction. Within the protective action zone a level of
vapour concentration may exist resulting in nearly all unprotected persons becoming incapacitated and
unable to take protective action and/or incurring serious or irreversible health effects.
3 INITIAL ISOLATION ZONE is determined as an area, including upwind of the incident, within which a high
probability of localised wind reversal may expose nearly all persons without appropriate protection to
life-threatening concentrations of the material.
4 SMALL SPILLS involve a leaking package of 200 litres (55 US gallons) or less, such as a drum (jerrican or
box with inner containers). Larger packages leaking less than 200 litres and compressed gas leaking from
a small cylinder are also considered "small spills".
LARGE SPILLS involve many small leaking packages or a leaking package of greater than 200 litres, such as
a cargo tank, portable tank or a "one-tonne" compressed gas cylinder.
5 Guide 171 is taken from the US DOT emergency response guide book.
6 IERG information is derived from CANUTEC - Transport Canada.

Section 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
路 Work clothes should be laundered separately. Launder contaminated clothing before re
-use.
路 Use good occupational work practice.
路 Observe manufacturer's storing and handling recommendations.
路 Atmosphere should be regularly checked against established exposure standards to ensure
safe working conditions are maintained.
SUITABLE CONTAINER
Glass container.
路 Polyethylene or polypropylene container.
路 Check all containers are clearly labelled and free from leaks.
Mildly corrosive to steel and aluminium.
STORAGE INCOMPATIBILITY
Metals and their oxides or salts may react violently with chlorine trifluoride. Chlorine
trifluoride is a hypergolic oxidiser. It ignites on contact (without external source of
heat or ignition) with recognised fuels - contact with these materials, following an
ambient or slightly elevated temperature, is often violent and may produce ignition. The
state of subdivision may affect the results.
路 Phosphates are incompatible with oxidising and reducing agents.
路 Phosphates are susceptible to formation of highly toxic and flammable phosphine gas in
the presence of strong reducing agents such as hydrides.
路 Partial oxidation of phosphates by oxidizing agents may result in the release of toxic
phosphorus oxides.
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS
Observe manufacturer's storing and handling recommendations.

MATERIAL DATA
It is the goal of the ACGIH (and other Agencies) to recommend TLVs (or their equivalent)
for all substances for which there is evidence of health effects at airborne
concentrations encountered in the workplace.
At this time no TLV has been established, even though this material may produce adverse
health effects (as evidenced in animal experiments or clinical experience). Airborne
concentrations must be maintained as low as is practically possible and occupational
exposure must be kept to a minimum.

Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
(P.N.O.S) does NOT apply.
Sensory irritants are chemicals that produce temporary and undesirable side-effects on
the eyes, nose or throat. Historically occupational exposure standards for these
irritants have been based on observation of workers' responses to various airborne
concentrations. Present day expectations require that nearly every individual should be
protected against even minor sensory irritation and exposure standards are established
using uncertainty factors or safety factors of 5 to 10 or more. On occasion animal no
-observable-effect-levels (NOEL) are used to determine these limits where human results
are unavailable. An additional approach, typically used by the TLV committee (USA) in
determining respiratory standards for this group of chemicals, has been to assign ceiling
values (TLV C) to rapidly acting irritants and to assign short-term exposure limits (TLV
STELs) when the weight of evidence from irritation, bioaccumulation and other endpoints
combine to warrant such a limit. In contrast the MAK Commission (Germany) uses a five
-category system based on intensive odour, local irritation, and elimination half-life.
However this system is being replaced to be consistent with the European Union (EU)
Scientific Committee for Occupational Exposure Limits (SCOEL); this is more closely
allied to that of the USA.
OSHA (USA) concluded that exposure to sensory irritants can:
路 cause inflammation
路 cause increased susceptibility to other irritants and infectious agents
路 lead to permanent injury or dysfunction
路 permit greater absorption of hazardous substances and
路 acclimate the worker to the irritant warning properties of these substances thus
increasing the risk of overexposure.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE
路 Safety glasses with side shields.
路 Chemical goggles.
路 Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and
concentrate irritants. A written policy document, describing the wearing of lens or
restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This should include a
review of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an account
of injury experience. Medical and first-aid personnel should be trained in their removal
and suitable equipment should be readily available. In the event of chemical exposure,
begin eye irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens
should be removed at the first signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be
removed in a clean environment only after workers have washed hands thoroughly. [CDC
NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59].
HANDS/FEET
Suitability and durability of glove type is dependent on usage. Factors such as:
路 frequency and duration of contact,
路 chemical resistance of glove material,
路 glove thickness and
路 dexterity,
are important in the selection of gloves.
Wear chemical protective gloves, eg. PVC.
Wear safety footwear or safety gumboots, eg. Rubber.

ENGINEERING CONTROLS
路 Local exhaust ventilation is required where solids are handled as powders or crystals;
even when particulates are relatively large, a certain proportion will be powdered by
mutual friction.
路 If in spite of local exhaust an adverse concentration of the substance in air could
occur, respiratory protection should be considered.
Such protection might consist of:
(a): particle dust respirators, if necessary, combined with an absorption cartridge;
(b): filter respirators with absorption cartridge or canister of the right type;
(c): fresh-air hoods or masks.
Air contaminants generated in the workplace possess varying "escape" velocities which, in
turn, determine the "capture velocities" of fresh circulating air required to effectively
remove the contaminant.
Type of Contaminant: Air Speed:
direct spray, spray painting in shallow booths, 1- 2.5 m/s (200- 500 f/min.)
drum filling, conveyer loading, crusher dusts,
gas discharge (active generation into zone of
rapid air motion)
grinding, abrasive blasting, tumbling, high 2.5- 10 m/s (500- 2000 f/min.)
speed wheel generated dusts (released at high
initial velocity into zone of very high rapid
air motion).
Within each range the appropriate value depends on:
Lower end of the range Upper end of the range
1: Room air currents minimal or favourable to 1: Disturbing room air currents
capture
2: Contaminants of low toxicity or of nuisance 2: Contaminants of high toxicity
value only.
3: Intermittent, low production. 3: High production, heavy use
4: Large hood or large air mass in motion 4: Small hood- local control only

Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Simple theory shows that air velocity falls rapidly with distance away from the opening
of a simple extraction pipe. Velocity generally decreases with the square of distance
from the extraction point (in simple cases). Therefore the air speed at the extraction
point should be adjusted, accordingly, after reference to distance from the contaminating
source. The air velocity at the extraction fan, for example, should be a minimum of 4-10
m/s (800-2000 f/min) for extraction of crusher dusts generated 2 metres distant from the
extraction point. Other mechanical considerations, producing performance deficits within
the extraction apparatus, make it essential that theoretical air velocities are
multiplied by factors of 10 or more when extraction systems are installed or used.

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
Accidental ingestion of the material may be damaging to the health of the individual.
Acute potassium poisoning after swallowing is rare, because vomiting usually occurs and
renal excretion is fast. Potassium causes a slow, weak pulse, irregularities in heart
rhythm, heart block and an eventual fall in blood pressure. Breathing initially becomes
faster but the muscles of breathing eventually become paralysed. There can be loss of
appetite, extreme thirst, increased volumes of urine, fever, convulsions and gastric
disturbances; death may then occur due to failure of breathing and inflammation of the
stomach and bowel.
As absorption of phosphates from the bowel is poor, poisoning this way is less likely.
Effects can include vomiting, tiredness, fever, diarrhoea, low blood pressure, slow pulse
, cyanosis, spasms of the wrist, coma and severe body spasms.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
EYE
There is some evidence to suggest that this material can cause eye irritation and damage
in some persons.
Alkaline salts may be intensely irritating to the eyes and precautions should be taken to
ensure direct eye contact is avoided.
SKIN
The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or skin irritation
following contact (as classified by EC Directives using animal models). Nevertheless,
good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum and that suitable
gloves be used in an occupational setting.
Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions, may
produce systemic injury with harmful effects. Examine the skin prior to the use of the
material and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected.
INHALED
The material is not thought to produce either adverse health effects or irritation of the
respiratory tract following inhalation (as classified by EC Directives using animal
models). Nevertheless, adverse systemic effects have been produced following exposure of
animals by at least one other route and good hygiene practice requires that exposure be
kept to a minimum and that suitable control measures be used in an occupational setting.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Substance accumulation, in the human body, may occur and may cause some concern following
repeated or long-term occupational exposure.
Sodium phosphate dibasic can cause stones in the kidney, loss of mineral from the bones
and loss of thyroid gland function.
Long term exposure to high dust concentrations may cause changes in lung function i.e.
pneumoconiosis; caused by particles less than 0.5 micron penetrating and remaining in the
lung. Prime symptom is breathlessness; lung shadows show on X-ray.
TOXICITY AND IRRITATION

No data of toxicological significance identified in literature search.
Section 12 - ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Marine Pollutant:Not Determined
Do NOT allow product to come in contact with surface waters or to intertidal areas below
the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water when cleaning equipment or disposing
of equipment wash-waters.
Wastes resulting from use of the product must be disposed of on site or at approved waste
sites.
The principal problems of phosphate contamination of the environment relates to
eutrophication processes in lakes and ponds. Phosphorus is an essential plant nutrient
and is usually the limiting nutrient for blue-green algae. A lake undergoing
eutrophication shows a rapid growth of algae in surface waters. Planktonic algae cause
turbidity and flotation films. Shore algae cause ugly muddying, films and damage to
reeds. Decay of these algae causes oxygen depletion in the deep water and shallow water
near the shore. The process is self-perpetuating because anoxic conditions at the
sediment/water interface causes the release of more adsorbed phosphates from the
sediment. The growth of algae produces undesirable effects on the treatment of water for
drinking purposes, on fisheries, and on the use of lakes for recreational purposes.
DO NOT discharge into sewer or waterways.

Section 13 - DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Legislation addressing waste disposal requirements may differ by country, state and/ or
territory. Each user must refer to laws operating in their area. In some areas, certain
wastes must be tracked.
A Hierarchy of Controls seems to be common - the user should investigate:
路 Reduction,
路 Reuse
路 Recycling
路 Disposal (if all else fails)
This material may be recycled if unused, or if it has not been contaminated so as to make
it unsuitable for its intended use. Shelf life considerations should also be applied in
making decisions of this type. Note that properties of a material may change in use, and
recycling or reuse may not always be appropriate.
DO NOT allow wash water from cleaning or process equipment to enter drains.
It may be necessary to collect all wash water for treatment before disposal.
In all cases disposal to sewer may be subject to local laws and regulations and these
should be considered first. Where in doubt contact the responsible authority.
路 Recycle wherever possible or consult manufacturer for recycling options.
路 Consult State Land Waste Management Authority for disposal.
路 Bury residue in an authorised landfill.
路 Recycle containers if possible, or dispose of in an authorised landfill.
