3: Hazards Identification
Potential
Acute Health Effects: Extremely
hazardous in case of ingestion. Very hazardous in case of eye contact
(irritant). Hazardous in case of inhalation. Slightly hazardous in case of skin
contact (irritant, permeator). Prolonged exposure may result in skin burns and
ulcerations. Over-exposure by inhalation may cause respiratory irritation.
Inflammation of the eye is characterized by redness, watering, and itching.
Potential
Chronic Health Effects:
CARCINOGENIC
EFFECTS: Not available. MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Not available. TERATOGENIC EFFECTS:
Not available. DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Not available. The substance is toxic to
lungs, the nervous system, mucous membranes. Repeated or prolonged exposure to
the substance can produce target organs damage.
Section
4: First Aid Measures Eye Contact:
Check
for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes
with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention immediately.
Skin
Contact: Wash with soap
and water. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Get medical attention if
irritation develops.
Serious
Skin Contact: Not
available.
Inhalation:
If inhaled, remove to
fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is
difficult, give oxygen. Get 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
unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to
an unconscious person. If large quantities of this material are swallowed, call
a physician immediately. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or
waistband.
Serious
Ingestion: Not available.

6: Accidental Release Measures
Small
Spill: Use appropriate
tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal container.
Large
Spill: Oxidizing material.
Stop leak if without risk. Avoid contact with a combustible material (wood,
paper, oil, clothing). Keep substance damp using water spray. Do not touch
spilled material. Prevent entry into sewers, basements or confined areas; dike
if needed. Call for assistance on disposal.
Section
7: Handling and Storage Precautions:
Keep
away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Keep away from combustible
material.. Do not breathe dust. Avoid contact with eyes. In case of insufficient
ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. If you feel unwell, seek
medical attention and show the label when possible. Keep away from incompatibles
such as combustible materials, organic materials.
Storage:
Keep container tightly
closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Separate from acids,
alkalies, reducing agents and combustibles. See NFPA 43A, Code for the Storage
of Liquid and Solid Oxidizers.
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.
