Section 3 - Hazards Identification

Appearance: white crystals.
Danger! May be fatal if inhaled. Causes burns by all exposure routes. Water-reactive. Contact with water liberates toxic gas. Can decompose violently at elevated temperatures. 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: May be fatal if inhaled. Causes chemical burns to the respiratory tract. Inhalation may be fatal as a result of spasm, inflammation, edema of the larynx and bronchi, chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary edema. May cause burning sensation, coughing, wheezing, laryngitis, shortness of breath, headache, nausea, and vomiting. One of the decomposition products is phosgene whose main toxicity is primarily by inhalation. The major target organ is the lung. The major pathological feature is delayed pulmonary edema. Signs and symptoms of toxicity may be delayed for 24 hours.
Chronic: No information found. Chronic exposure to phosgene compounds may cause irreversible pulmonary fibrosis and

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: Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. SPEED IS ESSENTIAL, OBTAIN MEDICAL AID IMMEDIATELY. 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. Exposure to heat may promote violent decomposition. Water reactive. Material will react with water and may release a flammable and/or toxic gas.

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 expose spill to water. Do not get water inside containers. Evacuate unnecessary personnel. Do not let this chemical enter the environment.

Section 7 - Handling and Storage

Handling: Do not allow water to get into the container because of violent reaction. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not ingest or inhale. Use and store under nitrogen. Do not allow contact with water. Use only in a chemical fume hood.
Storage: Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a dry area. Corrosives area. Water free area. Keep refrigerated. (Store below 4°C/39°F.) Store protected from moisture. Store under nitrogen.

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.
