3: Hazards Identification
Potential
Acute Health Effects:
Extremely
hazardous in case of ingestion. Hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant,
permeator), of eye contact (irritant), of inhalation. Severe over-exposure can
result in death.
Potential
Chronic Health Effects:
Extremely
hazardous in case of ingestion. Hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant,
permeator), of eye contact (irritant), of inhalation. CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS:
Classified 2 (Reasonably anticipated.) by NTP. MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Not available.
TERATOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available. DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Not available.
Repeated exposure to an highly toxic material may produce general deterioration
of health by an accumulation in one or many human organs.
Section
4: First Aid Measures
Eye
Contact:
Check
for and remove any contact lenses. Immediately flush eyes with running water for
at least 15 minutes, keeping eyelids open. Cold water may be used. Do not use an
eye ointment. Seek medical attention.
Skin
Contact:
After
contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water. Gently and thoroughly
wash the contaminated skin with running water and non-abrasive soap. Be
particularly careful to clean folds, crevices, creases and groin. Cold water may
be used. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. If irritation persists,
seek medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing before reusing.
Serious
Skin Contact:
Wash
with a disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial
cream. Seek immediate medical attention.
Inhalation:
Allow the victim to rest in a well
ventilated area. Seek immediate medical attention.
Serious
Inhalation:
Evacuate
the victim to a safe area as soon as possible. Loosen tight clothing such as a
collar, tie, belt or waistband. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If
the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Seek medical
attention.
Ingestion:
Do
not induce vomiting. Examine the lips and mouth to ascertain whether the tissues
are damaged, a possible indication that the toxic material was ingested; the
absence of such signs, however, is not conclusive. Loosen tight clothing such as
a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If the victim is not breathing, perform
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Seek immediate medical attention.
Serious
Ingestion: Not available.

7: Handling and Storage
Precautions:
Keep
locked up Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Empty
containers pose a fire risk, evaporate the residue under a fume hood. Ground all
equipment containing material. Do not ingest. Do not breathe dust. Wear suitable
protective clothing In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable
respiratory equipment If ingested, seek medical advice immediately and show the
container or the label. Avoid contact with skin and eyes
Storage:
Keep
container dry. Keep in a cool place. Ground all equipment containing material.
Keep container tightly closed. Keep in a cool, well-ventilated place. Highly
toxic or infectious materials should be stored in a separate locked safety
storage cabinet or room.
Section
8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Engineering
Controls:
Use
process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to
keep airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If user operations
generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne
contaminants below the exposure limit.
Personal
Protection:
Splash
goggles. Lab coat. Dust respirator. Be sure to use an approved/certified
respirator or equivalent. Gloves.
Personal
Protection in Case of a Large Spill:
Splash
goggles. Full suit. Dust respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self contained breathing
apparatus should be used to avoid inhalation of the product. Suggested
protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist BEFORE
handling this product.
