EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: clear green liquid.
Danger! Corrosive. Causes eye and skin burns.
Lachrymator (substance which increases the flow of tears). May cause
severe respiratory tract irritation with possible burns. May cause
severe digestive tract irritation with possible burns. May cause
cardiac disturbances. May cause central nervous system effects.
Moisture sensitive.
Target Organs: Central nervous system,
cardiovascular system.
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:
Causes gastrointestinal tract burns. May cause perforation of the
digestive tract. May cause cardiac disturbances. May cause central
nervous system effects. 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.
Chronic:
Effects may be delayed.
|
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:
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. Vapors may
be heavier than air. They can spread along the ground and collect
in low or confined areas. Contact with metals may evolve flammable
hydrogen gas. Containers may explode when heated. Contact with water
forms corrosive vapors. Runoff from fire control or dilution water
may cause pollution.
Extinguishing Media:
Do NOT get water inside containers. For small fires, use dry
chemical, carbon dioxide, or water spray. For large fires, use dry
chemical, carbon dioxide, alcohol-resistant foam, or water spray.
Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after
fire is out.
Flash Point: > 112 deg C (> 233.60 deg F)
Autoignition Temperature: 505 deg C ( 941.00 deg F)
Explosion Limits, Lower:Not available.
Upper: Not available.
NFPA Rating:
(estimated) Health: 3; Flammability: 1; Instability: 0
|
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. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and
ditches which lead to waterways. Clean up spills immediately,
observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Provide
ventilation. Do not get water inside containers.
|
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Use only in a well-ventilated area. 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.
