EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: fine powder.
Danger! Reacts violently with water. Causes burns
by all exposure routes. Harmful if swallowed. Hygroscopic (absorbs
moisture from the air).
Target Organs: Kidneys, liver, respiratory
system, gastrointestinal system, eyes, skin.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye burns.
Skin:
Causes skin burns. May be harmful if absorbed through the skin.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. Causes gastrointestinal tract burns.
Inhalation:
Causes chemical burns to the respiratory tract. May be harmful if
inhaled.
Material releases hydrogen chloride on contact with water.
Chronic:
May cause liver and kidney damage.
In one inhalation study, exposure to zirconium tetrachloride
(converted to zirconyl chloride in water) at a concentration of 6 mg
Zr/m3 for 2 months was associated with a small increase in mortality
of rats & guinea pigs and no increased mortality for rabbits, cats,
or dogs. Respiratory infection subsequent to the inhaled zirconyl
chloride mist was the reported cause of death. In 1-year inhalation
studies with zirconium tetrachloride at 3.5 mg Zr/m3, no adverse
effects on lab animals could be
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
|
Eyes:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid imme
diately.
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. Get medical aid immediately. Call a poison
control center.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do not use
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation if victim ingested or inhaled the
substance; induce artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket
mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory
medical device.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.

General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth),
then place in suitable container. Wear a self contained breathing
apparatus and appropriate personal protection. (See Exposure
Controls, Personal Protection section). Provide ventilation. Do not
expose spill to water. Do not get water inside containers. Do not let
this chemical enter the environment.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Do not allow water to get into the container because of violent
reaction. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not ingest
or inhale. Handle under an inert atmosphere. Do not allow contact
with water. Use only in a chemical fume hood.
