EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: white powder.
Caution! May cause eye and skin irritation. May
cause respiratory and digestive tract irritation. May cause central
nervous system effects. May cause adverse reproductive effects based
upon animal studies.
Target Organs: Central nervous system.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation.
Skin:
May cause skin irritation. Contact with the skin may cause skin
lesions which are characterized by cracking of the skin and the
development of slow-healing ulcers.
Ingestion:
Poison by ingestion. May cause headache. May cause nausea and
vomiting. May cause garlic smell on the breath and body.
Inhalation:
Inhalation of high concentrations may cause central nervous system
effects characterized by nausea, headache, dizziness, unconsciousness
and coma. May cause respiratory tract irritation. Inhalation may be
fatal as a result of spasm, inflammation, edema of the larynx and
bronchi, chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary edema.
Chronic:
Adverse reproductive effects have been reported in animals. Exposure
to large doses may cause central nervous system depression.
|
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.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4
cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Get medical aid immediately. Wash mouth out with
water.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If breathing
is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid. 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. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases
may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Containers
may explode when heated. Non-combustible, substance itself does not
burn but may decompose upon heating to produce irritating, corrosive
and/or toxic fumes. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may
cause pollution.
Extinguishing Media:
Do NOT get water inside containers. Do NOT use straight streams of
water. For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or water
spray. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well
after fire is out. For large fires, use water spray, fog or regular
foam.
Flash Point: Not applicable.
Autoignition Temperature: Not applicable.
Explosion Limits, Lower:Not available.
Upper: Not available.
NFPA Rating:
(estimated) Health: 2; Flammability: 0; Instability: 0
|
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
|
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal
container. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to
waterways. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the
Protective Equipment section. Avoid generating dusty conditions.
Provide ventilation. Do not get water inside containers.
|
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate ventilation.
Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Follow all MSDS and label
precautions even after container is emptied because they may contain
product residues. Do not breathe dust, vapor, mist, or gas. Do not
get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Keep container tightly closed.
Use only in a chemical fume hood.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible
substances. Keep containers tightly closed.
|
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.
