Hazards Identification Emergency Overview -------------------------- WARNING! HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED, INHALED OR ABSORBED THROUGH SKIN. CAUSES IRRITATION. Potential Health Effects ---------------------------------- Inhalation: None identified. Ingestion: None identified. Skin Contact: None identified. Eye Contact: None identified. Chronic Exposure: No information found. Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: No information found. 4. First Aid Measures Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Prompt action is essential. Ingestion: Induce vomiting immediately as directed by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention. Skin Contact: In case of contact, flush skin with water. Eye Contact: In case of eye contact, immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. 5. Fire Fighting Measures Fire: Not expected to be a fire hazard. Explosion: None identified. Fire Extinguishing Media: Use extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding fire. Special Information: Firefighters should wear proper protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in positive pressure mode. 6. Accidental Release Measures Wear suitable protective clothing. Carefully sweep up and remove. 7. Handling and Storage Keep container tightly closed. Suitable for any general chemical storage area. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product. 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection Airborne Exposure Limits: None established. Ventilation System: A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures as low as possible. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details. Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved): For conditions of use where exposure to the dust or mist is apparent, a half-face dust/mist respirator may be worn. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-face positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres. Skin Protection: Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact. Eye Protection: Use chemical safety goggles and/or full face shield where dusting or splashing of solutions is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area. Other Control Measures: There is insufficient data in the published literature to assign complete numerical SAF-T-DATA* ratings and laboratory protective equipment for this product. Special precautions must be used in storage, use and handling. Protective equipment for laboratory bench use should be chosen using professional judgment based on the size and type of reaction or test to be conducted and the available ventilation, with overriding consideration to minimize contact with the chemical. 9.
