EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: yellow to yellow-green clear liquid.
Danger! Causes burns by all exposure routes.
Reacts violently with water. Contact with water liberates toxic gas.
Harmful if inhaled.
Target Organs: Respiratory system,
gastrointestinal system, eyes, skin.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye burns. Lachrymator (substance which increases the flow
of tears).
Skin:
Causes skin burns. May be harmful if absorbed through the skin.
Ingestion:
Causes gastrointestinal tract burns. May be harmful if swallowed.
Inhalation:
Harmful if inhaled. 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. May
cause burning sensation, coughing, wheezing, laryngitis, shortness of
breath, headache, nausea, and vomiting.
Chronic:
No information found.

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 6 - Accidental Release Measures
|
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.
