Ingredient CAS No Percent Hazardous
--------------------------------------- ------------ ------------ ---------
Potassium Iodate 7758-05-6 100% Yes
Inhalation: May irritate the respiratory tract, with symptoms of coughing
and possible shortness of breath.
Ingestion: May cause gastrointestinal upset with symptoms of abdominal
pain, vomiting, and diarrhea. Animal experiments suggest a potential for kidney
and blood cell damage, similar to that of the bromates and chlorates.
Skin Contact: Possible irritation or reddening of moist skin on prolonged
contact.
Eye Contact: No adverse effects expected but dust may cause mechanical
irritation.
Chronic Exposure: Repeated ingestions may cause kidney dysfunction or
failure and blood conditions such as hemolysis. Central nervous system may be
affected.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: Persons with impaired liver or
kidney function may be more susceptible to the effects of this substance.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Get medical
attention for any breathing difficulty.
Ingestion: Induce vomiting immediately as directed by medical personnel.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Skin Contact:
Eye Contact: Wash thoroughly with running water. Get medical advice if
irritation develops.
Fire: Not combustible but enhances the combustion of
other substances. Strong oxidizing agent, can release gaseous oxygen when
heated.
Explosion: May explode when exposed to mechanical shock or friction or
can cause explosions with combustible or flammable materials or powdered metals.
Fire Extinguishing Media: Use any means suitable for extinguishing
surrounding fire.
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. Water
spray may be used to keep fire exposed containers cool.
Remove all sources of
ignition. Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective
equipment as specified in Section 8.
Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, ventilated area away from sources of heat, moisture, and incompatible substances. Protect container from physical damage. Avoid dust formation and control ignition sources. Employ grounding, venting and explosion relief provisions in accord with accepted engineering practices in any process capable of generating dust and/or static electricity. Empty only into inert or non-flammable atmosphere. Emptying contents into a non-inert atmosphere where flammable vapors may be present could cause a flash fire or explosion due to electrostatic discharge. 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. Maintain eye wash fountain
and quick-drench facilities in work area.
