EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: yellow crystals.
Warning! Harmful if swallowed, inhaled, or
absorbed through the skin. May cause allergic respiratory reaction.
May cause eye, skin, and respiratory tract irritation. Danger of
cumulative effects.
Target Organs: Kidneys, central nervous system,
liver, respiratory system, skin.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation.
Skin:
May cause skin irritation. Harmful if absorbed through the skin.
Substance is readily absorbed through the skin.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. May cause irritation of the digestive tract.
May cause methemoglobinemia, cyanosis (bluish discoloration of skin
due to deficient oxygenation of the blood), convulsions, and death.
Effects may be delayed 2 to 4 hours. Methemoglobinemia is
characterized by dizziness, drowsiness, headache, shortness of
breath, cyanosis (bluish discoloration of skin due to deficient
oxygenation of the blood), rapid heart rate and chocolate-brown
colored blood.
Inhalation:
Harmful if inhaled. May cause cyanosis (bluish discoloration of skin
due to deficient oxygenation of the blood). May cause respiratory
tract irritation. May cause asthmatic attacks due to allergic
sensitization of the respiratory tract. May cause nausea and possible
vomiting. May cause methemoglobinemia.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis. May cause
liver and kidney damage. Adverse reproductive effects have been
reported in animals. Laboratory experiments have resulted in
mutagenic effects. There is a danger of cumulative effects. Exposure
to high concentrations may cause central nervous system depression.
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. Containers may explode in the heat of a fire.
Vapors or dust may form explosive mixture with air.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Use water spray,
dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or chemical foam.
Flash Point: 169 deg C ( 336.20 deg F)

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
|
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal
container. Wear a self contained breathing apparatus and appropriate
personal protection. (See Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
section). Avoid generating dusty conditions. Provide ventilation. Do
not let this chemical enter the environment.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Do not get in eyes, on
skin, or on clothing. Do not ingest or inhale. Use only in a
chemical fume hood.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry place. Store in a tightly closed container.
Store protected from light.
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 only under a
chemical fume hood.
