Product Name: Ehrlich's Reagent for Hallucinogens (Ampoule 1)
MSDS No.: NAR10007A
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure:
Skin, eye, respiratory, kidney, liver, central nervous system diseases
Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen (To be
administered by qualified medical personnel only!) Get medical attention.
Ingestion: If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cups of milk or water. (Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person!) Induce vomiting by giving one teaspoon (1 tsp) of syrup of ipecac. Get medical attention immediately.
Skin: Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing. Seek medical attention.
Eyes: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids. Do not allow victim to
rub or keep eyes closed. Get medical aid immediately.
Other Health Warnings:
V. Fire Fighting Measures:
Flash Point: 57 F Lower Explosive Limit: 3.3 Upper Explosive Limit: 19
F.P. Method:
Fire Extinguishing Media: Water, dry chemical, chemical or alcohol-resistant foam
Special Fire Fighting Procedures:
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing. DO NOT use straight streams of water. Water may be
ineffective, but may be used to cool fire-exposed containers. Cool containers with flooding quantities until well after fire is out.
Unusual Fire and Explosion:
Containers may explode in heat of fire. May form explosive peroxides. Vapors from this product may travel some distance from
original point to an ignition source and flash back. Vapors may be heavier than air. They may spread along the ground and collect
in low or confined areas.
"Empty" containers may contain product residue and may be dangerous. Empty containers should be completely drained and
bunged and then disposed of according to local, state, and federal regulations.
VI. Accidental Release Measures:
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled:
Wear vapor respirator, safety goggles, and rubber gloves. Remove sources of ignition (i.e. open flames, sparks). Soak up with
inert absorbent material (dry sand or earth recommended; do not use flammable substances such as sawdust). A
vapor-suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors. Dispose according to local, state, and federal regulations.
VII. Handling and Storage:
Precautions to be Taken:
Keep in tightly closed container. Light sensitive. Keep cool and dry. Avoid all ignition sources (heat, open flame, spark). Avoid
incompatible materials. Electrically bond and ground all containers and equipment before transfer or use of material. Use only in
well-ventilated areas. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Other Precautions:
"Empty" containers may contain product residue and may be dangerous. Empty containers should be completely drained and
bunged and then disposed of according to local, state, and federal regulations.
