3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview:
Appearance: Turbid, light orange liquid
Odor: Not determined
EU Symbols: C - CORROSIVE T - TOXIC
R PHRASES: R 20/21/22: Harmful by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed. R 33: Danger of cumulative
effects. R 35: Causes severe burns. R 52/53: Harmful to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the
aquatic environment.
Protective Equipment:
Potential Health Effects:
Eye Contact (EC): Causes severe burns
Skin Contact (EC): Causes severe burns
Skin Absorption (EC): Toxic Will be absorbed through the skin. Effects similar to those of ingestion
Target Organs (SA E): Central nervous system Kidneys
Ingestion (EC): Causes: severe burns May cause: abdominal pain circulatory disturbances diarrhea loosening of the
teeth nausea vomiting rapid pulse and respirations toxic nephritis (inflammation of the kidneys) shock collapse
kidney damage death
Target Organs (Ing E): Central nervous system Kidneys
Inhalation: Toxic Causes: severe burns May cause: difficult breathing mouth soreness teeth erosion Effects similar
to those of ingestion.
Target Organs (Inh E): Central nervous system Kidneys Lungs Teeth
Medical Conditions Aggravated: Pre-existing: Eye conditions Skin conditions Respiratory conditions Allergies or
sensitivity to chromates or chromic acid. Allergies or sensitivity to mercury.
Chronic Effects: Chronic overexposure may cause destruction of any tissue contacted erosion of the teeth mouth
soreness chronic irritation or inflammation of the lungs accumulation of silver in body tissues which causes a slate-gray
to bluish discoloration. Chromate and dichromate salts may cause ulceration and perforation of the nasal septum, severe
liver damage, central nervous system effects, and lung cancer. Mercury is a general protoplasmic poison; it circulates in
the blood and is stored in the liver, kidneys, spleen and bones. Main symptoms are sore mouth, tremors and psychic
disturbances.

strong bases water
Static Discharge: None reported.
Mechanical Impact: None reported
Extinguishing Media: Use media appropriate to surrounding fire conditions
Extinguishing Media NOT To Be Used: Not applicable
Fire Fighting Instruction: As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand and full protective
gear. Evacuate area and fight fire from a safe distance. Water runoff can cause environmental damage. Dike and collect
water used to fight fire.
______________________________________
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Spill Response Notice:
Only persons properly qualified to respond to an emergency involving hazardous substances should respond to a spill
involving chemicals. See Section 13, Special Instructions for disposal assistance.
Containment Technique: Releases of this material may contaminate the environment. Absorb spilled liquid with non-
reactive sorbent material. Stop spilled material from being released to the environment. Dike the spill to contain material
for later disposal.
Clean-up Technique: Mercury and its compounds are extremely toxic! Be extremely careful not to contact the spill or
breathe any vapors. Absorb spilled liquid with non-reactive sorbent material. Dispose of all mercury contaminated
material at an E.P.A. hazardous waste facility. Dispose of material in an E.P.A. approved hazardous waste facility.
Decontaminate area with commercially available mercury absorbing compounds.
Evacuation Procedure: Evacuate general area (50 foot radius or as directed by your facility's emergency response plan)
when: any quantity is spilled. Deny access to unnecessary and unprotected personnel. Remain up-wind from spilled
material. If conditions warrant, increase the size of the evacuation.
