3 - Hazards Identification
SPECIAL INDICATION OF HAZARDS TO HUMANS AND THE ENVIRONMENT
Highly flammable. Harmful by inhalation, in contact with skin and
if swallowed. Irritating to eyes.
4 - First Aid Measures
AFTER INHALATION
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing give
artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
AFTER SKIN CONTACT
In case of skin contact, flush with copious amounts of water for
at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes.
Call a physician.
AFTER EYE CONTACT
In case of contact with eyes, flush with copious amounts of
water for at least 15 minutes. Assure adequate flushing by
separating the eyelids with fingers. Call a physician.
AFTER INGESTION
If swallowed, wash out mouth with water provided person is
conscious. Call a physician immediately.
5 - Fire Fighting Measures
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Suitable: Carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, or appropriate
foam.
Unsuitable: Carbon Dioxide, dry chemical powder, or appropriate
foam. Water can be applied as a spray or fog and if properly
applied is capable of extinguishing the fire by sweeping the
flames off the surface of the burning liquid.
SPECIAL RISKS
Specific Hazard(s): Flammable liquid. Emits toxic fumes under
fire conditions.
Explosion Hazards: Vapor may travel considerable distance to
source of ignition and flash back. Container explosion may occur
under fire conditions.
SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR FIREFIGHTERS
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing
to prevent contact with skin and eyes.
6 - Accidental Release Measures
PERSONAL PRECAUTION PROCEDURES TO BE FOLLOWED IN CASE OF LEAK OR SPILL
Evacuate area. Shut off all sources of ignition.
PROCEDURE(S) OF PERSONAL PRECAUTION(S)
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus, rubber boots, and heavy
rubber gloves.
METHODS FOR CLEANING UP
Cover with dry-lime, sand, or soda ash. Place in covered
containers using non-sparking tools and transport outdoors.
Ventilate area and wash spill site after material pickup is
complete.
7 - Handling and Storage
HANDLING
Directions for Safe Handling: Do not breathe vapor. Avoid
contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid prolonged or
repeated exposure.
STORAGE
Conditions of Storage: Keep container closed. Keep away from
heat, sparks, and open flame. Store in a cool dry place. Handle
and store under nitrogen.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS: Handle and store under inert gas.
Hygroscopic.
8 - Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Safety shower and eye bath. Use nonsparking tools. Use only in a
chemical fume hood.
GENERAL HYGIENE MEASURES
Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Wash thoroughly after
handling.

11 - Toxicological Information
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE
This material can produce a cyanide like effect. Always have a
cyanide first-aid kit present when using this material. The
onset of symptoms is generally delayed pending conversion to
cyanide. Adverse effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea,
headache, dizziness, rashes and cyanosis. Other symptoms include
mental excitement or depression, drowsiness, impaired
perception, incoordination, stupor, coma, and death.
ROUTE OF EXPOSURE
ALDRICH - 425796 www.sigma-aldrich.com Page 3
Skin Contact: May cause skin irritation.
Skin Absorption: Toxic if absorbed through skin.
Eye Contact: Causes severe eye irritation.
Inhalation: Toxic if inhaled. Material may be irritating to
mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract.
Ingestion: Toxic if swallowed.
TARGET ORGAN INFORMATION
Central nervous system. Liver. Kidneys. Blood. Lungs.
CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE
Acetonitrile is metabolized in the liver to water, formic acid,
and hydrogen cyanide. The cyanide is further metabolized to
thiocyanate.
CHRONIC EXPOSURE - CARCINOGEN
Result: This product is or contains a component that is not
classifiable as to its carcinogenicity based on its IARC, ACGIH,
NTP, or EPA classification.
12 - Ecological Information
No data available.
13 - Disposal Considerations
SUBSTANCE DISPOSAL
Contact a licensed professional waste disposal service to dispose
of this material. Burn in a chemical incinerator equipped with an
afterburner and scrubber but exert extra care in igniting as this
material is highly flammable. Observe all federal, state, and
local environmental regulations.
