2. HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION
2.1 Health Effects - Acute Swallowed
Moderately toxic. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, gastric irritation and thirst, possibly leading to swollen tongue, weakness, hypotension, delirium, hyperpnoea, trachycardia and respiratory arrest. Eye
May cause irritation, redness and pain. Skin
May cause irritation with redness and pain. Inhaled
May cause irritation to respiratory tract. Symptoms may include coughing, sore throat, laboured breathing and chest pain. 2.2 Health Effects - Chronic
Medical experience indicates that this material is of low hazard in normal doses. They are normally rapidly excreted from the body but in cases of impaired renal function, dangerous quantities of this salt may build up.
2.3 First Aid
Swallowed
Give plenty of water to drink and where the quantity is higher than the normal dose (10g), seek medical advice.
Eye
Irrigate the affected eye(s) with 1% sodium chloride solution or water. If soreness or irritation persists, seek medical advice.
Skin
Remove contaminated clothing and wash the affected area with water, then soap and water. If rash or soreness develops, seek medical advice.
Inhaled
Remove to fresh air, loosen any constricting clothing and seek medical advice.
First Aid Facilities
Ensure an eye bath and safety shower is readily available.
2.5 Advice to Doctor
In cases of impaired renal function, dangerous quantities of this salt may build up.
2.6 Toxicity Data
Oral LD50 = 1600 mg/kg (rat) Oral LD50 = 1700 mg/kg (rabbit)
3. PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
3.1 Exposure Standards
No information.
3.2 Engineering Controls
A ventilation system of local or general exhaust as recommended to keep employee exposure as low as possible. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at it's source preventing dispersion of it into the general work area.
3.3 Personal Protection
Skin protection: Wear protective rubber gloves and overalls. Eye protection : Use chemical safety goggles. Maintain eye wash bath and safety shower. Inhalation protection : 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.
3.4 Flammability
Product is combustible. SAFE HANDLING INFORMATION
4.1 Storage / Transport
Store in a cool, dry ventilated area away from sources of heat, moisture and incompatibilities. Store in the dark Protect from physical damage. Cantainers of this material maybe hazardous when empty since they retain product residue (dust, soild); observe all warning and precautions listed for the product. Incompatibilities include: Ferric salts, lime water, iodine, strong oxidizing agents, silver nitrate, sprit nitrous ether, mineral acids, lead acetate, sodium phosphate powder.

4.3 Spills and Disposal
Spills
Clean up personnel should wear full protective clothing, including breathing protection if required.
Small spillages may be washed to drain with a large volume of water. Larger spillages (industrial quantities) should be swept up for subsequent disposal and the area washed down with water.
Disposal
Whatever cannot be saved for recovery or recycling should be managed in an appropiate and approved waste disposal facility. Processing, use or contamination of this product may change the waste management options. State and local disposal regulations may differ from federal disposal regulations. Dispose of container and unused contents in accordance with federal, state and local requirements.
4.4 FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD Fire / Explosion
Fine dust dispersed in aire in sufficient concentrations, and in the presence of an ignition source is a potential dust explosion hazard. As with most orgainc solids, fire is possible at elevated temperatures or by contact with an ignition source.
Extinguishing Media
Water spray, dry chemical, alcohol foam or carbon dioxide. 5 OTHER INFORMATION
