EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: black powder.
Danger! Strong oxidizer. Contact with other
material may cause a fire. May cause severe eye, skin and
respiratory tract irritation with possible burns. Irritant. May
cause severe digestive tract irritation with possible burns.
Target Organs: Eyes, skin.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation. May cause permanent corneal opacification.
May cause chemical conjunctivitis.
Skin:
May cause severe irritation and possible burns.
Ingestion:
May cause burns to the gastrointestinal tract. May cause nausea,
vomiting, and diarrhea, possibly with blood.
Inhalation:
Causes respiratory tract irritation. May cause acute pulmonary
edema, asphyxia, chemical pneumonitis, and upper airway obstruction
caused by edema.
Chronic:
Effects may be delayed.
|
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. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical
aid immediately. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert,
rinse mouth and drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
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 breathing has ceased apply
artificial respiration using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device
such as a bag and a mask.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
|
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
|
General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
protective gear. Strong oxidizer. Contact with other material may
cause fire. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be
generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Use water with
caution and in flooding amounts. Some oxidizers may react explosively
with hydrocarbons(fuel). May accelerate burning if involved in a
fire. Containers may explode when heated. Runoff from fire control
or dilution water may cause pollution.
Extinguishing Media:
Contact professional fire-fighters immediately. For small fires, do
NOT use dry chemicals, carbon dioxide, halon or foams. USE WATER
ONLY. For large fires flood fire with water from a distance.
Flash Point: Not applicable.
Autoignition Temperature: Not applicable.
Explosion Limits, Lower:Not available.
Upper: Not available.
NFPA Rating:
(estimated) Health: 2; Flammability: 0; Instability: 2; Special Hazard: OX
|
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
|
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective
Equipment section. Sweep up or absorb material, then place into a
suitable clean, dry, closed container for disposal. Remove all
sources of ignition. Provide ventilation. Do not use combustible
materials such as paper towels to clean up spill.
|
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Minimize dust
generation and accumulation. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid
contact with clothing and other combustible materials. Do not get on
skin or in eyes. Avoid ingestion and inhalation.
Storage:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Do not store near
combustible materials. Keep container closed when not in use. Store
in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated
area away from incompatible substances.
|
Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
|
Engineering Controls:
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped
with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate
ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.
