Potential Health Effects
----------------------------------
Inhalation: Inhalation of dust or vapors may cause irritation to the
respiratory tract and mucous membranes. May cause skin eruptions.
Ingestion: High toxicity in man. Several grams may produce poisoning with
circulatory collapse, cold extremities, paleness and feeble rapid pulse.
Cyanosis is the prominent effect.
Skin Contact: Causes irritation to skin. Symptoms include redness,
itching, and pain.
Eye Contact: Causes irritation, redness, and pain.
Chronic Exposure: Lengthy exposures may affect the ability of blood to
carry oxygen (methemoglobinemia), resulting in bluish discoloration of lips and
tongue (cyanosis). May also result in damage to the blood-forming organs, with
anemia.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: No information found.
Inhalation:If inhaled, remove to fresh air.
Administer amyl nitrite and oxygen if symptoms occur. Keep patient warm and at
rest. DO NOT GIVE MOUTH-TO-MOUTH RESUSCITATION. Get medical attention.
Ingestion:Induce vomiting immediately as directed by medical personnel.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact:Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention. Wash
clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse.
Eye Contact:Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention
immediately.
Fire:Flash point: 174C (345F) CC
Autoignition temperature: 530C (986F)
Combustible solid. Moderate fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame.
Explosion:Above the flash point, explosive vapor-air mixtures may be
formed.
Fire Extinguishing Media:Water spray, dry chemical, alcohol foam, or
carbon dioxide.
Special Information:In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing
and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece
operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.
Remove all sources of
ignition. Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective
equipment as specified in Section 8. Spills: Clean up spills in a manner that
does not disperse dust into the air. Use non-sparking tools and equipment.
Reduce airborne dust and prevent scattering by moistening with water. Pick up
spill for recovery or disposal and place in a closed container.
Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical damage. Isolate from incompatible substances. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.
Airborne Exposure Limits:None established.
Ventilation System:A system of local and/or general exhaust is
recommended to keep employee exposures as low as possible. Local exhaust
ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the
contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work
area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of
Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):For conditions of use where
exposure to dust or mist is apparent and engineering controls are not feasible,
a particulate respirator (NIOSH type N95 or better filters) may be worn. If oil
particles (e.g. lubricants, cutting fluids, glycerine, etc.) are present, use a
NIOSH type R or P filter. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels
are not known, use a full-face positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator.
WARNING: Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient
atmospheres.
Skin Protection:Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots,
gloves, lab coat, apron or coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
Eye Protection:Use chemical safety goggles and/or full face shield where
dusting or splashing of solutions is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and
quick-drench facilities in work area.
Appearance: White shining crystalline leaflets or
white crystalline powder.
Odor: Odorless.
