Section 3 - Hazards Identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: blue-green liquid.
Danger! Strong oxidizer. Contact with other
material may cause a fire. May cause allergic skin reaction. May be
harmful if swallowed. May cause respiratory tract irritation. May
cause severe eye and skin irritation with possible burns. May cause
liver and kidney damage.
Target Organs: Kidneys, liver.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Contact with eyes may cause severe irritation, and possible eye
burns. Contact may cause ulceration of the conjunctiva and cornea.
Skin:
May cause severe irritation and possible burns. May cause
dermatitis. May cause skin discoloration.
Ingestion:
May cause severe gastrointestinal tract irritation with nausea,
vomiting and possible burns. May cause liver and kidney damage. May
be harmful if swallowed.
Inhalation:
May cause respiratory tract irritation. May cause ulceration and
perforation of the nasal septum if inhaled in excessive quantities.
Chronic:
Chronic inhalation and ingestion may cause effects similar to those
of acute inhalation and ingestion. May cause liver and kidney
damage. Individuals with Wilson's disease are unable to metabolize
copper. Thus, copper accumulates in various tissues and may result
in liver, kidney, and brain damage.
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 immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes while removing 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:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Antidote:
The use of d-Penicillamine as a chelating agent should be determined
by qualified medical personnel.
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
|
General Information:
Strong oxidizer. Contact with other material may cause fire. Wear
appropriate protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and
eyes. Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) to prevent
contact with thermal decomposition products.

Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate ventilation. Keep
away from heat, sparks and flame. Avoid contact with clothing and
other combustible materials. Do not get on skin or in eyes. Do not
ingest or inhale.
Storage:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Store in a cool, dry place.
Store in a tightly closed container.
