11 - Toxicological Information
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE
To the best of our knowledge, the chemical, physical, and
toxicological properties have not been thoroughly investigated.
ROUTE OF EXPOSURE
Multiple Routes: May be harmful by inhalation, ingestion, or
skin absorption. May cause irritation.
12 - Ecological Information
No data available.
13 - Disposal Considerations
SUBSTANCE DISPOSAL
Treat a dilute basic solution (pH 10-11) of the material with a
50% excess of commercial laundry bleach. Control the temperature
by the addition rate of bleach and adjust pH if necessary. Let
stand overnight. Cautiously adjust solution to pH 7. Vigorous
evolution of gas may occur. Filter any solids for burial in a
chemical landfill. Precipitate any heavy metals by addition of
sulfide and isolate for burial. Additional equivalents of
hypochlorite may be needed if the metal can be oxidized to a
higher valence state. For metal carbonyls, the reaction should be
carried out under nitrogen. Observe all federal, state, and local
environmental regulations.
