| TYPES OF
HAZARD / EXPOSURE |
ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING |
| FIRE | Not combustible but
forms flammable gas on contact with water or damp air. Gives off
irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. |
NO open flames, NO
sparks, and NO smoking. NO contact with acid(s) and water. |
Special powder, dry
sand, NO other agents. NO water. |
| EXPLOSION | Risk of fire and
explosion on contact with acid(s) and water. |
||

| EXPOSURE | PREVENT DISPERSION
OF DUST! STRICT HYGIENE! |
||
| Inhalation | Sore throat. Cough.
Shortness of breath. Headache. Dizziness. Nausea. Vomiting. |
Local exhaust or
breathing protection. |
Fresh air, rest.
Half-upright position. Artificial respiration if indicated. Refer for
medical attention. |
| Skin | Redness. Burning
sensation. |
Protective gloves.
|
Remove contaminated
clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. Wear protective
gloves when administering first aid. |
| Eyes | Redness. |
Safety goggles, or eye
protection in combination with breathing protection. |
First rinse with plenty
of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible),
then take to a doctor. |
| Ingestion | Nausea. Vomiting.
Diarrhoea. Abdominal pain. Headache. Convulsions. Shock or collapse.
Unconsciousness. |
Do not eat, drink, or
smoke during work. Wash hands before eating. |
Induce vomiting (ONLY
IN CONSCIOUS PERSONS!). Refer for medical attention.
|
| SPILLAGE DISPOSAL | PACKAGING & LABELLING |
| Evacuate danger area!
Consult an expert! Do NOT wash away into sewer. Sweep spilled substance
into sealable containers. Carefully collect remainder, then remove to safe
place. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment (extra personal
protection: complete protective clothing including self-contained
breathing apparatus). |

| IMPORTANT DATA | |
| PHYSICAL STATE;
APPEARANCE: DARK GREY OR DARK YELLOW CRYSTALS. CHEMICAL DANGERS: The substance decomposes on contact with water, moist air and acids producing highly flammable and toxic gases (phosphine, see ICSC # 0694). OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS: TLV not established. |
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol and by ingestion. INHALATION RISK: Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly. Hydrolysis in atmospheric moisture or perspiration may yield gaseous phosphine which can be inhaled. EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE: The substance irritates the eyes the skin and the respiratory tract. Inhalation of phosphine liberated from aluminium phosphide may cause lung oedema (see Notes). The substance may cause effects on the cardiovascular system, nervous system and respiratory tract , resulting in impaired functions and respiratory failure. Exposure may result in death. |
| PHYSICAL PROPERTIES | |
| Melting point:
>1000°C Relative density (water = 1): 2.9 Solubility in water: reaction |
|
| ENVIRONMENTAL DATA | |
| The
substance is toxic to aquatic organisms.
|
| NOTES | |
| Commercial
formulations for fumigations usually contain 57% of active ingredient.
Reacts violently with fire extinguishing agents such as water. The
symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours
have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort. Rest and medical
observation are therefore essential. Immediate administration of an
appropriate spray, by a doctor or a person authorized by him/her, should
be considered. Do NOT take working clothes home. Alutal, Celphide,
Celphine, Celphos, Delicia Gastoxin, Detia Gas-Ex-B, Detia Gas-Ex-P, Detia
Gas-Ex-T, L fume, Phosfume, Phostek, Phostoxin, Quickfos, and Zedesa are
trade names.Also consult ICSC # 0694 for Phosphine.
