EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: dark green powder.
Caution! May cause eye, skin, and respiratory
tract irritation. May be harmful if swallowed. May cause liver and
kidney damage. May cause adverse reproductive effects based upon
animal studies.
Target Organs: Kidneys, liver.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation.
Skin:
May cause skin irritation.
Cupric Acetate may cause a skin allergy. If allergy develops, very
low future exposure can cause itching and a skin rash.
Ingestion:
May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea. May cause liver and kidney damage. May be harmful if
swallowed.
Inhalation:
May cause respiratory tract irritation.
Chronic:
May cause reproductive and fetal effects.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
|
Eyes:
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally
lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
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:
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 breathing
is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation. If breathing has ceased apply artificial respiration
using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device such as a bag and a
mask.
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.
Non-combustible, substance itself does not burn but may decompose
upon heating to produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic fumes.
Extinguishing Media:
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:
Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal
container. 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. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Use with
adequate ventilation. Minimize dust generation and accumulation.
Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep container tightly
closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation.
Storage:
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.

No data available.
Environmental:
Several processes determine the fate of copper in the aquatic
environ: complex formation, esp with humic substances; sorption to
hydrous metal oxides, clays, & organic materials; & bioaccumulation.
The formation of complexes with organic ligands modifies the
solubility & precipitation behavior of copper such that solid copper
species probably do not precipitate under normal circumstances.
Furthermore, complexed copper is more easily adsorbed by clay & other
surfaces than the free (hydrated) cation. Copper has a strong
affinity for hydrous iron and manganese oxides, clay.

No information found.
