Section 3 - Hazards Identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: pale yellow to tan crystalline powder.
Danger! Corrosive. Causes eye and skin burns.
Lachrymator (substance which increases the flow of tears). May cause
severe digestive tract irritation with possible burns. May cause
severe respiratory tract irritation with possible burns. May cause
central nervous system effects. May cause cardiac disturbances.
Metabolized to cyanide in the body, which may cause headache,
dizziness, weakness, unconsciousness, convulsions, coma and possible
death. Moisture sensitive.
Target Organs: Blood, central nervous system,
cardiovascular system, blood forming organs.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye burns. Produces irritation, characterized by a burning
sensation, redness, tearing, inflammation, and possible corneal
injury. Lachrymator (substance which increases the flow of tears).
May cause chemical conjunctivitis and corneal damage.
Skin:
Causes skin burns. May cause skin rash (in milder cases), and cold
and clammy skin with cyanosis or pale color.
Ingestion:
May cause severe and permanent damage to the digestive tract. Causes
gastrointestinal tract burns. May cause perforation of the digestive
tract. May cause cardiac disturbances. May cause central nervous
system effects. Metabolism may release cyanide, which may result in
headache, dizziness, weakness, collapse, unconsciousness and possible
death. May cause systemic effects.
Inhalation:
Causes chemical burns to the respiratory tract. Aspiration may lead
to pulmonary edema. May cause cardiac abnormalities. May cause
systemic effects. May be metabolized to cyanide which in turns act by
inhibiting cytochrome oxidase impairing cellular respiration.
Chronic:
May be metabolized to cyanide which in turn acts by inhibiting
cytochrome oxidase impairing cellular respiration.

Section 4 - First Aid Measures
|
Eyes:
Get medical aid immediately. Do NOT allow victim to rub eyes or keep
eyes closed. Extensive irrigation with water is required (at least 30
minutes).
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. Destroy contaminated shoes.
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:
May be partially metabolized to cyanide in the body.
Antidote:
Always have a cyanide antidote kit on hand when working with cyanide
compounds. Get medical advice to use.

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. Reacts with
water to form explosive hydrogen gas. Contact with metals may evolve
flammable hydrogen gas. Containers may explode if exposed to fire.
Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution.
Extinguishing Media:
Do NOT use water directly on fire. Use foam, dry chemical, or carbon
dioxide. Do NOT get water inside containers. Cool containers with
flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out.
Flash Point: Not applicable.
Autoignition Temperature: Not applicable.
Explosion Limits, Lower:Not available.
Upper: Not available.
NFPA Rating:
(estimated) Health: 3; 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. 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:
Use only in a well-ventilated area. Minimize dust generation and
accumulation. Do not breathe dust, mist, or vapor. Do not get in
eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Do not
ingest or inhale. Do not allow contact with water. Discard
contaminated shoes. Keep from contact with moist air and steam.
Storage:
Keep container closed when not in use. Corrosives area. Store
protected from moisture.
|
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.
