EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: yellow-green powder.
Danger! Strong oxidizer. Contact with other
material may cause a fire. Oxidizer. May cause eye and skin
irritation. May cause respiratory and digestive tract irritation.
Light sensitive. May cause methemoglobinemia.
Target Organs: Blood.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Dust may cause mechanical irritation.
Skin:
May cause skin irritation.
Ingestion:
May cause irritation of the digestive tract. May cause
methemoglobinemia, cyanosis (bluish discoloration of skin due to
deficient oxygenation of the blood), convulsions, and death.
Methemoglobinemia is characterized by dizziness, drowsiness,
headache, shortness of breath, cyanosis (bluish discoloration of
skin due to deficient oxygenation of the blood), rapid heart rate and
chocolate-brown colored blood. Ingestion of soluble silver salts may
cause argyria, characterized by permanent blue-gray pigmentation of
the skin, mucous membranes, and eyes. Ingestion of silver compounds
may cause abdominal pain, rigidity, convulsions and shock.
Inhalation:
Inhalation of dust may cause respiratory tract irritation.
Chronic:
No information found.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
|
Eyes:
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally
lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid immediately.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Remove
contaminated clothing and shoes.
Ingestion:
If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical
aid immediately.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
|
General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
protective gear. Strong oxidizer. Contact with other material may
cause fire.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water only! Contact professional fire-fighters immediately. Do
NOT use dry chemicals, CO2, Halon or foams.
Flash Point: Not applicable.
Autoignition Temperature: Not available.

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
|
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective
Equipment section. Sweep up or absorb material, then place into a
suitable clean, dry, closed container for disposal. Avoid generating
dusty conditions. Remove all sources of ignition. In case of spill,
sweep up solid or absorb liquid with inert material, then place into
a biohazard container. Wear protective equipment.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate ventilation.
Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes,
skin, and clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid contact with
clothing and other combustible materials. Avoid ingestion and
inhalation.
Storage:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Do not store near
combustible materials. Store in a tightly closed container.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
|
Engineering Controls:
Use adequate ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.
