EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: white to light yellow solid.
Warning! Harmful in contact with skin and if
swallowed. Causes eye irritation. May cause skin and respiratory
tract irritation.
Target Organs: Eyes, skin.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation.
Skin:
May cause skin irritation. Harmful if absorbed through the skin. May
be metabolized to cyanide which in turn acts by inhibiting cytochrome
oxidase impairing cellular respiration.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. May cause irritation of the digestive tract.
Metabolism may release cyanide, which may result in headache,
dizziness, weakness, collapse, unconsciousness and possible death.
Inhalation:
May cause respiratory tract irritation. May be harmful if inhaled.
May be metabolized to cyanide which in turns act by inhibiting
cytochrome oxidase impairing cellular respiration.
Chronic:
Exposure to small amounts of cyanide compounds over long periods of
time is reported to cause loss of appetite, headache, weakness,
nausea, dizziness, and symptoms of irritation of the upper
respiratory tract and eyes.
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.
