Section 3 - Hazards Identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW

Appearance: clear colorless to light yellow liquid.
Danger! Causes burns by all exposure routes. Water-reactive. Contact with water liberates toxic gas. Lachrymator (substance which increases the flow of tears).
Target Organs: Respiratory system, gastrointestinal system, eyes, skin.


Potential Health Effects
Eye: Causes eye burns. Lachrymator (substance which increases the flow of tears).
Skin: Causes skin burns. May be harmful if absorbed through the skin.
Ingestion: Causes gastrointestinal tract burns. May be harmful if swallowed.
Inhalation: Causes chemical burns to the respiratory tract. May be harmful if inhaled.
Chronic: No information found.

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: Do not induce vomiting. Get medical aid immediately. Call a poison control center.
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 victim ingested or inhaled the substance; induce artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device.
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. Water reactive. Material will react with water and may release a flammable and/or toxic gas.
