EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: colorless
May cause irritation by all exposure routes.
Target Organs: none known.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation.
Skin:
May cause skin irritation.
Ingestion:
May cause irritation of the digestive tract.
Material Safety Data Sheet
Hydrogen Sulfide Water
Inhalation:
Inhalation may cause pulmonary edema, weakness, coma, death.
Chronic:

exposure may cause furunculosis.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
Eyes:
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids until no evidence
of chemical remains. Get medical aid at once.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing
contaminated clothing and shoes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes.
Ingestion:
Get medical aid at once. If victim is conscious, give 2-4 glasses of water and induce vomiting.
Inhalation:
Give artificial respiration if necessary. Get medical aid. Keep victim warm, at rest. Move victim to fresh air.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
