| TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE | ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING |
| FIRE | Not
combustible but enhances combustion of other substances. Many reactions
may cause fire or explosion. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or
gases) in a fire. |
NO contact
with alcohol, combustibles, reducing agents and water. |
In case of
fire in the surroundings: powder, carbon dioxide NO water.
|
| EXPLOSION | Risk of fire
and explosion on contact with many substances. |
In case of
fire: cool drums, etc., by spraying with water but avoid contact of the
substance with water. |
| EXPOSURE | PREVENT
GENERATION OF MISTS! AVOID ALL CONTACT! |
IN ALL
CASES CONSULT A DOCTOR! | |
| Inhalation | Sore throat.
Cough. Burning sensation. Shortness of breath. Laboured breathing.
Symptoms may be delayed (see Notes). |
Ventilation,
local exhaust, or breathing protection. |
Fresh air,
rest. Half-upright position. Artificial respiration may be needed. Refer
for medical attention. |
| Skin | Pain.
Redness. Serious skin burns. |
Protective
gloves. Protective clothing. |
Remove
contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. Refer for
medical attention. |
| Eyes | Pain.
Redness. Severe deep burns. |
Face shield,
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 | Burning
sensation. Abdominal pain. Nausea. Shock or collapse. |
Do not eat,
drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating. |
Rinse mouth.
Do NOT induce vomiting. Give plenty of water to drink. Refer for medical
attention. |
| SPILLAGE DISPOSAL | PACKAGING & LABELLING | |||||||
| Evacuate
danger area! Consult an expert! Ventilation. Collect leaking and spilled
liquid in sealable containers as far as possible. Cautiously neutralize
remainder with alkaline materials such as lime, crushed limestone, sodium
bicarbonate, or soda ash. Then wash away with plenty of water. Do NOT
absorb in saw-dust or other combustible absorbents. (Extra personal
protection: complete protective clothing including self-contained
breathing apparatus.) |

| IMPORTANT DATA | |||
| PHYSICAL
STATE; APPEARANCE: COLOURLESS TO YELLOW LIQUID, WITH PUNGENT ODOUR. CHEMICAL DANGERS: The substance decomposes on heating on contact with water producing toxic and corrosive fumes. The substance is a strong oxidant and reacts violently with combustible and reducing materials. The substance is a strong acid, it reacts violently with bases and is corrosive. Reacts violently with alcohols powdered metals, phosphorus, nitrates and many other substances causing fire and explosion hazard. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS: TLV not established. |
ROUTES OF
EXPOSURE: The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its vapour and by ingestion. INHALATION RISK: A harmful contamination of the air can be reached rather quickly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C. EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE: The substance is very corrosive to the eyes, the skin and the respiratory tract. Corrosive on ingestion. Inhalation of the vapour may cause lung oedema (see Notes). The effects may be delayed. Medical observation is indicated. EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE: Lungs may be affected by repeated or prolonged exposure. The substance may have effects on the teeth, resulting in erosion. | ||

| ENVIRONMENTAL DATA | |||
| NOTES | |||
| 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 is therefore essential. Depending on the degree of exposure,
periodic medical examination is suggested. | |||
