EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: white solid.
Danger! Strong oxidizer. Contact with other
material may cause a fire. May cause severe eye, skin and
respiratory tract irritation with possible burns. May be harmful if
swallowed.
Target Organs: No data found.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause conjunctivitis. May cause permanent corneal
opacification.
Skin:
May cause severe irritation and possible burns.
Ingestion:
May cause burns to the gastrointestinal tract. Ingestion of nitrate
containing compounds can lead to methemoglobinemia. May cause
nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, possibly with blood.
Inhalation:
May cause acute pulmonary edema, asphyxia, chemical pneumonitis, and
upper airway obstruction caused by edema.
Chronic:
Effects may be delayed.
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.
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:
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical
aid. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse mouth and
drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
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. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation.
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. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be
generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Use water with
caution and in flooding amounts. Some oxidizers may react explosively
with hydrocarbons(fuel). May accelerate burning if involved in a
fire. Containers may explode when heated.
Extinguishing Media:
Contact professional fire-fighters immediately. For small fires, do
NOT use dry chemicals, carbon dioxide, halon or foams. USE WATER
ONLY. For large fires flood fire with water from a distance.
Flash Point: Not applicable.
Autoignition Temperature: Not applicable.
Explosion Limits, Lower:Not available.
Upper: Not available.
NFPA Rating:
(estimated) Health: 2; Flammability: 0; Instability: 1; Special Hazard: OX
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, then place into a suitable container for
disposal. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Remove all sources of
ignition. Provide ventilation. Do not use combustible materials such
as paper towels to clean up spill.
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. Store in
a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
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.
