Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid, 64-02-8 100% Yes
Tetrasodium Salt
Inhalation: Mild irritant. Symptoms may include coughing or sneezing. May
cause irritation to the respiratory tract.
Ingestion: Substance has low toxicity by ingestion. Large amounts may
cause gastric upset due to osmotic imbalance through the sequestering of metal
ions.
Skin Contact: Mild irritant. Symptoms may include reddening or
inflammation on prolonged contact.
Eye Contact: Causes irritation. Solutions are severe irritants to the eye
and cause pain, redness, blurred vision.
Chronic Exposure: No information found.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: No information found.
Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Call a physician.
Ingestion: Induce vomiting immediately as directed by medical personnel.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Skin Contact: Remove any contaminated clothing. Wash skin with soap or
mild detergent and water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention if
irritation develops or persists. Wash clothing before re-use.
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: Not expected to be a fire hazard.
Explosion: No information found.
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.
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Spills:
Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical damage. 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 protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing.
Eye Protection: Use chemical safety goggles. Maintain eye wash fountain
and quick-drench facilities in work area.
