Potential Health Effects
REAGENTS, INC.--MSDS鈥擣ERROIN INDICATOR SOLUTION PAGE -2-
----------------------------------
Inhalation: No adverse effects expected.
Ingestion: Extremely large doses may cause poisoning.
Skin Contact: No adverse effects expected. Will stain skin.
Eye Contact: No adverse effects expected but splashes may cause irritation.
Chronic Exposure: No information found.
4. First Aid Measures
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give
oxygen. Get medical attention for any breathing difficulty.
Ingestion: Give large amounts of water to drink. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person. Get medical attention for any gastrointestinal irritation.
Skin Contact: Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing
contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get
medical attention if symptoms occur.
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting upper and lower
eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention for any irritation.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Fire: Not considered to be a fire hazard.
Explosion: Not considered to be an explosion hazard.
Fire Extinguishing Media: Use any means suitable for extinguishing surrounding fire.
Special Information: Use protective clothing and breathing equipment appropriate for the surrounding
fire.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Remove all sources of ignition. Wear appropriate personal protective
equipment as specified in Section 8. Isolate hazard area. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel
from entering. Contain and recover liquid when possible. Collect liquid in an appropriate container or
absorb with an inert material (e. g., vermiculite, dry sand, earth), and place in a chemical waste
container. Do not use combustible materials, such as saw-dust. Do not flush to sewer!
7. Handling and Storage
Keep in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical damage.
Separate from acids and alkalis. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they
retain product residues (vapors, liquid); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.
Protect from freezing.
8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
REAGENTS, INC.--MSDS鈥擣ERROIN INDICATOR SOLUTION PAGE -3-
Airborne Exposure Limits:
Ferrous Sulfate, Heptahydrate-ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV): 1 mg/m 3 (TWA) soluble iron salt as
Fe. 1,10-Phenanthroline: None established.
Ventilation System: A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee
exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because
it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general
work area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended
Practices, most recent edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved): Not expected to require personal respirator usage. If the
exposure limit is exceeded, a half-face dust/mist respirator may be worn for up to ten times the exposure
limit or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency or respirator
supplier, whichever is lowest. A full-facepiece dust/mist respirator may be worn up to 50 times the
exposure limit, or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency, or
respirator supplier, whichever is lowest. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not
known, use a full-facepiece positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air-purifying
respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Skin Protection: Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing.
Eye Protection: Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing is possible.
Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
