EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: yellow solid.
Danger! May be fatal if absorbed through the skin.
Causes eye, skin, and respiratory tract irritation. May cause
allergic skin reaction. May cause methemoglobinemia. May cause
cardiac disturbances. May cause central nervous system effects. Heat
sensitive. Marine pollutant.
Target Organs: Blood, central nervous system,
cardiovascular system, blood forming organs, skin.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation and possible damage.
Skin:
May be fatal if absorbed through the skin. Prolonged and/or repeated
contact may cause irritation and/or dermatitis. May cause skin
sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes evident upon
re-exposure to this material.
Ingestion:
Causes gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea. May cause cardiac disturbances. May cause
methemoglobinemia, cyanosis (bluish discoloration of skin due to
deficient oxygenation of the blood), convulsions, and death. May
cause central nervous system effects.
Inhalation:
May cause methemoglobinemia, cyanosis (bluish discoloration of skin
due to deficient oxygenation of the blood), convulsions,
tachycardia, dyspnea (labored breathing), and death. May cause severe
irritation of the respiratory tract with sore throat, coughing,
shortness of breath and delayed lung edema. May cause cardiac
abnormalities. Inhalation at high concentrations may cause CNS
depression and asphixiation.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause sensitization
dermatitis and possible destruction and/or ulceration. Prolonged
exposure may cause anemia and methemoglobinemia, characterized by
dizziness, drowsiness, headache, breath shortness, cyanosis (bluish
skin due to deficient oxygenation of the blood), rapid heart rate
and chocolate-brown colored blood. Repeated exposure may cause
allergic respiratory reaction (asthma).
Typically the retrobulbar (behind the eyeball) neuritis resulting
from chronic poisoning has been associated with peripheral neuritis
manifest as paresthesias (burning, prickling sensations in absence of
an external stimulus) and pains in the legs and burning of the
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
|
Eyes:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid imme
diately.
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:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. 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:
For methemoglobinemia, administer oxygen alone or with Methylene
Blue depending on the methemoglobin concentration in the blood.
Antidote:
Methylene blue, alone or in combination with oxygen is indicated as
a treatment in nitrite induced methemoglobinemia.
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. Containers
may explode when heated. Runoff from fire control or dilution water
may cause pollution.
Extinguishing Media:
Water or foam may cause frothing. Do NOT get water inside
containers. For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or
water spray. For large fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide,
alcohol-resistant foam, or water spray. Cool containers with
flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out.
Flash Point: 186 deg C ( 366.80 deg F)
Autoignition Temperature: Not applicable.
Explosion Limits, Lower:2.0%
Upper: 22.0%
NFPA Rating:
(estimated) Health: 3; Flammability: 1; Instability: 4
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
|
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal
container. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the
Protective Equipment section. Avoid generating dusty conditions.
Provide ventilation.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Do not
get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not ingest or inhale. Use
only with adequate ventilation.
Storage:
Store in a tightly closed container. Keep from contact with
oxidizing materials. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away
from incompatible substances. Keep away from flammable liquids. Do
not store near alkaline substances.
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.
