EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: gray to yellow-green crystalline.
Danger! Reacts with water to form hydrogen
sulfide, sulfur dioxide, and phosphoric acid. Flammable solid.
Water-reactive. Causes severe eye and skin irritation. May ignite or
explode on contact with moist air. Harmful if inhaled or swallowed.
Causes respiratory tract irritation. Stench. May cause central
nervous system effects.
Target Organs: Central nervous system,
respiratory system, eyes, skin.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Contact may cause severe eye irritation and possible eye damage.
Skin:
Causes severe skin irritation.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. May cause irritation of the digestive tract.
Inhalation:
May cause respiratory tract irritation. Vapors may cause dizziness
or suffocation. Inhalation of high concentrations may cause pulmonary
edema.
Higher exposures may cause the loss of sense of smell (anosmia).
Inhalation overexposure may lead the CNS effect such as: headache,
dizziness, weakness, confusion, sweating, nausea, and vomiting.
Higher levels can cause seizures and death.
Chronic:
Prolonged exposure to hydrogen sulfide may result in pulmonary
edema.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
|
Eyes:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid imme
diately.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing
before reuse.
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:
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. Vapors may form an explosive mixture with air.
Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash back. During a
fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal
decomposition or combustion. Will burn if involved in a fire. Water
reactive. Material will react with water and may release a flammable
and/or toxic gas. Containers may explode in the heat of a fire.
Flammable solid. May ignite or explode on contact with steam or
moist air. Dangerous fire hazard in the form of dust when exposed to
heat or flame.
Extinguishing Media:
Use dry sand or earth to smother fire. Water may be ineffective. Do
NOT use straight streams of water. DO NOT USE WATER OR FOAM. For
large fires, use dry sand, dry chemical, soda ash or lime or withdraw
from area and let fire burn. For small fires, use dry chemical, soda
ash, lime or dry sand.
Flash Point: Not available.
Autoignition Temperature: 142 deg C ( 287.60 deg F)
Explosion Limits, Lower:N/A
Upper: N/A
NFPA Rating:
(estimated) Health: 2; Flammability: 1; Instability: 2; Special Hazard: -W-
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. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Cover with
sand, dry lime or soda ash and place in a closed container for
disposal. Remove all sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool.
Provide ventilation. Do not expose spill to water. A vapor
suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Do not allow water to get into the container
because of violent reaction. Minimize dust generation and
accumulation. Ground and bond containers when transferring material.
Use spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment. Avoid contact
with eyes, skin, and clothing. Empty containers retain product
residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Keep container
tightly closed. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Avoid
ingestion and inhalation. Do not allow contact with water. Do not
pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty
containers to heat, sparks or open flames. Keep from contact with
moist air and steam.
Storage:
Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Keep away
from water. Flammables-area. Keep away from acids. Keep containers
tightly closed. Store away from alkalies. Separate from organic
materials.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
|
Engineering Controls:
Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment. Use adequate general or
local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the
permissible exposure limits.

or explosively with water. Contact with water or acids liberates
poisonous and flammable hydrogen sulfide. Reaction with water also
yields phosphoric acid, and sulfur dioxide.
Conditions to Avoid:
Ignition sources, dust generation, excess heat, exposure to moist air
or water.
Incompatibilities with Other Materials:
Oxidizing agents, acids, alcohols, alkalis, water, steam.
Hazardous Decomposition Products:
Phosphine, oxides of phosphorus, hydrogen sulfide.
