EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: white solid.
Danger! Strong oxidizer. Contact with other
material may cause a fire. May cause severe eye, skin and
respiratory tract irritation with possible burns. May cause kidney
damage. May cause central nervous system effects.
Target Organs: Kidneys, central nervous system.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation. May cause conjunctivitis. May cause
permanent corneal opacification.
Skin:
May cause severe irritation and possible burns.
Ingestion:
May cause burns to the gastrointestinal tract. May cause nausea,
vomiting, and diarrhea, possibly with blood.
Inhalation:
May cause acute pulmonary edema, asphyxia, chemical pneumonitis, and
upper airway obstruction caused by edema.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause irritation. Prolonged
or repeated exposure may cause gastrointestinal irritation and kidney
damage. Chronic ingestion may cause central nervous system failure.
Effects may be delayed.
|
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
|
Eyes:
Get medical aid. Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at l
east 15 minutes.
Skin:
Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while
removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if
irritation develops or persists. 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.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If breathing
is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid if cough or other symptoms
appear. 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. Strong oxidizer. Contact with other material may
cause fire. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool.
Use water with caution and in flooding amounts. This material is an
explosion hazard when exposed to heat, mechanical shock, or
friction. Containers may explode when heated. Runoff to sewer may
create fire or explosion hazard.
Extinguishing Media:
Contact professional fire-fighters immediately. Cool containers with
flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. For small
fires, do NOT use dry chemicals, carbon dioxide, halon or foams.
USE WATER ONLY. For large fires flood fire with water from a
distance.
Flash Point: Not available.
Autoignition Temperature: Not available.
Explosion Limits, Lower:Not available.
Upper: Not available.
NFPA Rating:
(estimated) Health: 2; Flammability: 0; Instability: 1; Special Hazard: OX
|
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
|
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective
Equipment section. Sweep up, then place into a suitable container for
disposal. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Keep combustibles (wood,
paper, oil, etc.,) away from spilled material.
|
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Minimize dust
generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and
clothing. Avoid contact with clothing and other combustible
materials. Keep from contact with clothing and other combustible
materials. Avoid breathing dust. Inform laundry personnel of
contaminant's hazards.
Storage:
Do not store near combustible materials. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Keep away
from flammable liquids. Keep away from reducing agents.
|
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.
