Section 3 - Hazards Identification
|
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: colorless liquid.
Danger! May be fatal if inhaled. Exposure through
inhalation may result in delayed pulmonary edema, which may be
fatal. Onset of acute lung injury after toxic exposure may be
delayed up to 72 hours after initial exposure. Causes burns by all
exposure routes. Reacts violently with water. Harmful if swallowed.
Toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in
the aquatic environment.
Target Organs: Respiratory system, eyes, skin,
mucous membranes.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes severe eye burns.
Skin:
Causes skin burns. Causes redness and pain. May lead to the
formation of blisters.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. May cause severe and permanent damage to the
digestive tract. Causes gastrointestinal tract burns. Aspiration of
material into the lungs may cause chemical pneumonitis, which may be
fatal.
Inhalation:
Causes chemical burns to the respiratory tract. Causes corrosive
action on the mucous membranes. Inhalation may produce burning
sensation, coughing, wheezing, laryngitis, shortness of breath,
headache, nausea, and vomiting. Exposure through inhalation may
result in delayed pulmonary edema which may be fatal. Death may
result hours after initial exposure.
Chronic:
Chronic exposure may cause effects similar to those of acute
exposure.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
|
Eyes:
Get medical aid immediately. Do NOT allow victim to rub eyes or keep
eyes closed. Extensive irrigation with water is required (at least 30
minutes).
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Destroy contaminated shoes.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. 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:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do NOT use
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If breathing has ceased apply
artificial respiration using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device
such as a bag and a mask.
Notes to Physician:
Exposure may result in death. The effects may be delayed therefore
medical observation is essential. 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. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases
may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Reacts
violently with water. Vapors may be heavier than air. They can
spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas.
Containers may explode when heated.
Extinguishing Media:
DO NOT USE WATER! Contact professional fire-fighters immediately.
Use dry powder or carbon dioxide.
Flash Point: Not available.
Autoignition Temperature: Noncombustible
Explosion Limits, Lower:Not available.
Upper: Not available.
NFPA Rating:
(estimated) Health: 4; Flammability: 0; Instability: 2; Special Hazard: -W-
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
|
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth),
then place in suitable container. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and
ditches which lead to waterways. Clean up spills immediately,
observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Provide
ventilation. Do not get water inside containers. Evacuate
unnecessary personnel.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Keep container tightly closed. Do not get on skin or in eyes. Do not
ingest or inhale. Do not allow contact with water. Use only in a
chemical fume hood. Discard contaminated shoes. Keep from contact
with moist air and steam.
Storage:
Keep container closed when not in use. Corrosives area. Store
protected from moisture.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
|
Engineering Controls:
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped
with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate
ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low. Use only under a
chemical fume hood.
