TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE | ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING |
FIRE | Combustible.
Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. |
NO open
flames. NO contact with oxidants. |
Water spray,
foam, dry powder, carbon dioxide. |
EXPLOSION | Finely
dispersed particles form explosive mixtures in air. Risk of fire and
explosion on contact with oxidants. |
Prevent
deposition of dust; closed system, dust explosion-proof electrical
equipment and lighting. |
In case of
fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.
|
EXPOSURE | PREVENT
DISPERSION OF DUST! STRICT HYGIENE! |
||
Inhalation | Sweating.
Fever or elevated body temperature. Nausea. Shortness of breath. Laboured
breathing. Headache. Convulsions. Unconsciousness. |
Local
exhaust or breathing protection. |
Fresh air,
rest. Artificial respiration may be needed. Refer for medical attention.
|
Skin | MAY BE
ABSORBED! Yellow stain. (Further see Inhalation). |
Protective
gloves. Protective clothing. |
Remove
contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. Refer for
medical attention. |
Eyes | Redness.
Pain. |
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 | Abdominal
pain. Vomiting. (Further see Inhalation). |
Do not eat,
drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating. |
Rinse mouth.
Give a slurry of activated charcoal in water to drink. Refer for medical
attention. |
SPILLAGE DISPOSAL | PACKAGING & LABELLING | |||||||
Sweep
spilled substance into sealable containers; if appropriate, moisten first
to prevent dusting. Carefully collect remainder, then remove to safe
place. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Personal
protection: chemical protection suit including self-contained breathing
apparatus. |

IMPORTANT DATA | |||
PHYSICAL
STATE; APPEARANCE: ODOURLESS, YELLOW CRYSTALS PHYSICAL DANGERS: Dust explosion possible if in powder or granular form, mixed with air. CHEMICAL DANGERS: The substance decomposes on burning producing toxic fumes including nitrogen oxides. Reacts violently with strong oxidants. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS: TLV: 0.2 mg/m³ as TWA; (skin); (ACGIH 2004). MAK: IIb, see Notes; H; (DFG 2003). |
ROUTES OF
EXPOSURE: The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation, through the skin and by ingestion. INHALATION RISK: A harmful contamination of the air will not or will only very slowly be reached on evaporation of this substance at 20°C; on spraying or dispersing, however, much faster. EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE: The substance is corrosive to the eyes and is irritating to the skin. Yellow staining of the skin. The substance may cause effects on the metabolic rate. Exposure at high levels may result in death. | ||
