3: Hazards Identification
Potential
Acute Health Effects:Hazardous
in case of skin contact (irritant), of eye contact (irritant), of ingestion, of
inhalation (lung irritant, lung corrosive).Severe over-exposure can result in
death.
Potential
Chronic Health Effects:CARCINOGENIC
EFFECTS: Not available. MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Mutagenic for bacteria and/or yeast.
TERATOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available. DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Not available. The
substance may be toxic to blood, kidneys, spleen. Repeated or prolonged exposure
to the substance can produce target organs damage. Repeated exposure to a 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. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with
plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Cold water may be used. Get medical
attention.

Contact:In case of
contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes
while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Cover the irritated skin with an
emollient. Cold water may be used.Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean
shoes before reuse. Get medical attention immediately.
Serious
Skin Contact:Wash with a
disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream.
Seek immediate medical attention.

Section
6: Accidental Release Measures
Small
Spill:Use appropriate
tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal container. Finish
cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and dispose of according
to local and regional authority requirements.
Large
Spill:Poisonous solid.
Stop leak if without risk. Do not get water inside container. Do not touch
spilled material. Use water spray to reduce vapors. Prevent entry into sewers,
basements or confined areas; dike if needed. Eliminate all ignition sources.
Call for
assistance
on disposal. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and
allow to evacuate through the sanitary system.
Section
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. If ingested, seek medical advice immediately and show the
container or the label. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Keep away from
incompatibles such as oxidizing agents, acids.
Storage:
Sensitive to light. May
discolor on exposure to light. Store in light resistant containers. Keep
container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area.
Do not store above 25°C (77°F).
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.
