EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: almost colorless liquid.
Warning! May cause digestive tract irritation with
nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. May cause skin irritation. Eye
contact may result in permanent eye damage. May cause fetal effects.
The toxicological properties of this material have not been fully
investigated.
Target Organs: None known.

May cause severe eye irritation. This product contains a cationic
dye. Similar dyes have caused permanent injury to the cornea and
conjunctiva in documented exposure cases with human or rabbit eyes.
Skin:
May cause skin irritation.
Ingestion:
May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea. The toxicological properties of this substance have not
been fully investigated.
Inhalation:
The toxicological properties of this substance have not been fully
investigated.
Chronic:
May cause fetal effects.
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:
Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while
removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if
irritation develops or persists. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4
cupfuls of milk or water. Get medical aid.
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 if cough or other symptoms appear.
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. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases
may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Use
extinguishing media appropriate to the surrounding fire. Substance is
noncombustible.
Extinguishing Media:
For small fires, use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide or
chemical foam. Substance is noncombustible; use agent most
appropriate to extinguish surrounding fire.
Flash Point: Not applicable.
Autoignition Temperature: Not applicable.
Explosion Limits, Lower:Not available.
Upper: Not available.
NFPA Rating:
(estimated) Health: 2; Flammability: 0; Instability: 0
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. Avoid
generating dusty conditions. Provide ventilation.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with
skin and eyes. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and
inhalation.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry place.
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.

Epidemiology:
Malachite green is similar in structure to other
carcinogenic dyes. It seems to enhance the formation of
hepatic tumors in rats. It appears to act as a tumor
promoter.
Teratogenicity:
Significant teratological effects were noted in rabbits
administered 0, 5,10, or 20 mg of malachite green/kg body
weight by gavage on days 6 through 18 of gestation. There
were significant increases in preimplantation losses.
Skeletal deviations were the most common abnormality. Also,
enlargement of the liver, heart, and abdominal cavity was
observed.
Reproductive Effects:
No information available.
Mutagenicity:
Malachite green is mutagenic is Salmonella typhimurium in
the presence of an exogenous metabolizing system. It shows
a marked cytotoxicity and the ability to induce cell
transformation and lipid peroxidation in mammalian cells.
