Section 3 - Hazards Identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: colorless to slight yellow crystals.
Danger! Toxic if absorbed through the skin. Toxic
if swallowed. Causes burns by all exposure routes. Decomposed even
by weak acids, evolving hydrogen sulfide, H2S, a flammable, poisonous
gas with the odor of rotten eggs. Very toxic to aquatic organisms.
Target Organs: Central nervous system,
respiratory system, gastrointestinal system, cardiovascular system,
eyes, skin.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye burns.
Skin:
Causes skin burns. Toxic in contact with skin.
Ingestion:
Causes gastrointestinal tract burns. May cause nausea and vomiting.
May cause cyanosis (bluish discoloration of skin due to deficient
oxygenation of the blood). Toxic if swallowed.
May cause dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, weakness, irregular
breathing, and unconsciousness. Contact with stomach acids can
liberate toxic hydrogen sulfide gas.
Inhalation:
Causes chemical burns to the respiratory tract. Inhalation may be
fatal as a result of spasm, inflammation, edema of the larynx and
bronchi, chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary edema.
Chronic:
May cause digestive tract and cardiac disturbances. Repeated
exposure may cause central nervous system damage. Prolonged exposure
to hydrogen sulfide may result in pulmonary edema.
|
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.
|
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
