3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
------------------
AS PART OF GOOD INDUSTRIAL AND PERSONAL HYGIENE AND SAFETY PROCEDURE,
AVOID ALL UNNECESSARY EXPOSURE TO THE CHEMICAL SUBSTANCE AND ENSURE PROMPT
REMOVAL FROM SKIN, EYES AND CLOTHING.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
------------------------
INHALATION:
NOT EXPECTED TO BE A HEALTH HAZARD.
INGESTION:
MILDLY TOXIC BY INGESTION. SLOWLY ABSORBED FROM THE ALIMENTARY TRACT.
BECAUSE OF OSMOTIC ACTIVITY, IT WILL DRAW WATER INTO THE LUMEN OF THE
BOWEL
AND MAY CAUSE PURGING, FLUID LOSS, BLOOD IN STOOLS, FALL OF BLOOD
PRESSURE,
AND HIGH SODIUM LEVELS IN THE BLOOD.
SKIN CONTACT:
NO ADVERSE EFFECTS EXPECTED.
EYE CONTACT:
NO ADVERSE EFFECTS EXPECTED BUT DUST MAY CAUSE MECHANICAL IRRITATION.
CHRONIC EXPOSURE:
NO INFORMATION FOUND.
AGGRAVATION OF PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS:
NO INFORMATION FOUND.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
INHALATION:
NOT EXPECTED TO REQUIRE FIRST AID MEASURES.
INGESTION:
GIVE SEVERAL GLASSES OF WATER TO DRINK TO DILUTE. IF LARGE AMOUNTS WERE
SWALLOWED, GET MEDICAL ADVICE.
SKIN CONTACT:
WASH EXPOSED AREA WITH SOAP AND WATER. GET MEDICAL ADVICE IF IRRITATION
DEVELOPS.
EYE CONTACT:
WASH THOROUGHLY WITH RUNNING WATER. GET MEDICAL ADVICE IF IRRITATION
DEVELOPS.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FIRE:
NOT CONSIDERED TO BE A FIRE HAZARD.
EXPLOSION:
NOT CONSIDERED TO BE AN EXPLOSION HAZARD, BUT VIOLENT EXPLOSIONS OCCUR
WHEN
POTASSIUM SULFATE AND SODIUM SULFATE ARE MELTED WITH ALUMINUM.
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. WEAR APPROPRIATE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT AS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 8. SPILLS: SWEEP UP AND CONTAINERIZE FOR
RECLAMATION OR DISPOSAL. VACUUMING OR WET SWEEPING MAY BE USED TO AVOID
DUST DISPERSAL.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
KEEP IN A TIGHTLY CLOSED CONTAINER, STORED IN A COOL, DRY, VENTILATED
AREA.
PROTECT AGAINST PHYSICAL DAMAGE. ISOLATE FROM INCOMPATIBLE SUBSTANCES.
CONTAINERS OF THIS MATERIAL MAY BE HAZARDOUS WHEN EMPTY SINCE THEY RETAIN
PRODUCT RESIDUES (DUST, SOLIDS); OBSERVE ALL WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
LISTED FOR THE PRODUCT.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
AIRBORNE EXPOSURE LIMITS:
NONE ESTABLISHED.
VENTILATION SYSTEM:
IN GENERAL, DILUTION VENTILATION IS A SATISFACTORY HEALTH HAZARD CONTROL
FOR THIS SUBSTANCE. HOWEVER, IF CONDITIONS OF USE CREATE DISCOMFORT TO THE
WORKER, A LOCAL EXHAUST SYSTEM SHOULD BE CONSIDERED.
PERSONAL RESPIRATORS (NIOSH APPROVED):
FOR CONDITIONS OF USE WHERE EXPOSURE TO THE DUST OR MIST IS APPARENT, A
HALF-FACE DUST/MIST RESPIRATOR MAY BE WORN. FOR EMERGENCIES OR INSTANCES
WHERE THE EXPOSURE LEVELS ARE NOT KNOWN, USE A FULL-FACE
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. MAINTAIN EYE WASH FOUNTAIN AND QUICK-DRENCH
FACILITIES IN WORK AREA.
