SECTION 3- HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: slightly yellow powder.
Warning! Harmful if swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin. May cause eye and
skin irritation. May cause respiratory tract irritation. Metabolized to cyanide in the body,
which may cause headache, dizziness, weakness, unconsciousness, convulsions, coma
and possible death. The toxicological properties of this material have not been fully
investigated.
Target Organs:
No data found.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation.
Skin:
May cause skin irritation. Harmful if absorbed through the skin. May be metabolized to
cyanide which in turn acts by inhibiting cytochrome oxidase impairing cellular
respiration. Most nitrile compounds are well absorbed through intact skin, and may cause

delayed onset of symptoms following exposure by this route.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. May cause irritation of the digestive tract. The toxicological
properties of this substance have not been fully investigated. Metabolism may release
cyanide, which may result in headache, dizziness, weakness, collapse, unconsciousness
and possible death.
Inhalation:
Harmful if inhaled. May cause respiratory tract irritation. The toxicological properties of
this substance have not been fully investigated. May be metabolized to cyanide which in
turns act by inhibiting cytochrome oxidase impairing cellular respiration. Inhalation may
result in symptoms similar to cyanide poisoning which include tachypnea, hyperpnea
(abnormally rapid or deep breathing), and dyspnea (labored breathing) followed rapidly
by respiratory depression. Pulmonary edema may occur.
Chronic:
May be metabolized to cyanide which in turn acts by inhibiting cytochrome oxidase
impairing cellular respiration. Exposure to small amounts of cyanide compounds over
long periods of time is reported to cause loss of appetite, headache, weakness, nausea,
dizziness, and symptoms of irritation of the upper respiratory tract and eyes.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 4- FIRST AID MEASURES
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eyes:
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for a t least 15 minutes.
Get medical aid.
Skin:
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes
while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid immediately. Wash
clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
If swallowed, do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid.
Inhalation:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is
difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid
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.
Approach fire from upwind to avoid hazardous vapors and toxic decomposition products.
Combustion by-products include oxides of nitrogen and hydrogen cyanide.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or appropriate foam.
Flash Point:
Not applicable.
Autoignition Temperature:
Not applicable.
