EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: white to pale yellow crystals.
Warning! Highly toxic. Lachrymator (substance
which increases the flow of tears). Harmful if swallowed, inhaled,
or absorbed through the skin.
Target Organs: Kidneys, central nervous system,
liver, lungs.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Lachrymator (substance which increases the flow of tears). Contact
may cause irritation, tearing, and burning pain.
Skin:
Harmful if absorbed through the skin.
Ingestion:
Poison by ingestion.
Inhalation:
May cause burning sensation, coughing, wheezing, laryngitis,
shortness of breath, headache, nausea, and vomiting. Inhalation of
dust causes severe irritation of the nose and throat. Vapors are
extremely irritating to the respiratory tract.
Chronic:
Chronic exposure may cause liver damage.
|
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. Do NOT allow victim
to rub eyes or keep eyes closed.
Skin:
Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while
removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration. 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
|
General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
protective gear. Water runoff can cause environmental damage. Dike
and collect water used to fight fire. During a fire, irritating and
highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or
combustion.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water fog, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or regular foam.
