Section 3: Hazard Identification
Emergency overview
Appearance: White to yellow crystalline powder.
Immediate effects: Danger! Corrosive. Causes eye and skin burns. May
cause sensitization by inhalation. Methemoglobin former - can cause cyanosis.
May cause severe respiratory tract irritation with possible burns. May cause
severe digestive tract irritation with possible burns. Air sensitive.
Target Organs: Blood, respiratory system, eyes, skin.
Potential health effects
Primary Routes of entry: Inhalation, Skin, Eyes, Ingestion
Signs and Symptoms of Overexposure: ND
Eyes: Causes eye burns. May cause chemical
conjunctivitis and corneal damage.
Skin: Causes skin burns. May cause skin rash (in
milder cases), and cold and clammy skin with cyanosis or pale color. May cause
skin sensitization based on its potential as a respiratory sensitizer.
Ingestion: May cause severe and permanent damage
to the digestive tract. Causes gastrointestinal tract burns. May cause
perforation of the digestive tract. Methemoglobinemia is characterized by
dizziness, drowsiness, headache, shortness of breath, cyanosis (bluish
discoloration of skin due to deficient oxygenation of the blood), rapid heart
rate and chocolate-brown colored blood. Overexposure may cause
methemoglobinemia. May cause systemic effects.
Inhalation: Causes chemical burns to the
respiratory tract. Aspiration may lead to pulmonary edema. May cause systemic
effects. May cause respiratory sensitization.
Chronic Exposure: May cause methemoglobinemia,
which is characterized by chocolate-brown colored blood, headache, weakness,
dizziness, breath shortness, cyanosis (bluish skin due to deficient oxygenation
of blood), rapid heart rate, unconsciousness and possible death. Effects may be
delayed.
Chemical Listed As Carcinogen Or Potential Carcinogen:
See Toxicological Information (Section11)
Potential environmental effects
See Ecological Information (Section 12)
Section 4: First Aid Measures
If accidental overexposure is suspected.
Eye(s) Contact: Get medical aid immediately. Do
NOT allow victim to rub eyes or keep eyes closed. Extensive irrigation with water
is required (at least 30 minutes).
Skin Contact: Get medical aid immediately.
Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while
removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Destroy
contaminated shoes.
Inhalation: Get medical aid immediately. Remove from
exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration. 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.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. If victim
is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything
by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid immediately.
Note to physician
Treatment: Absorption of this product into the
body may cause cyanosis (bluish discoloration of skin due to deficient
oxygenation of the blood). Moderate degrees of cyanosis need to be treated only
by supportive measures: bed rest and oxygen inhalation. For methemoglobinemia,
administer oxygen alone or with Methylene Blue depending on the methemoglobin
concentration in the blood. Cleansing of the entire contaminated area of the
body is of utmost importance.
Antidote: Methylene blue, alone or in combination with oxygen
is indicated as a treatment in nitrite induced methemoglobinemia.
Medical Conditions generally Aggravated by Exposure: ND

well-ventilated area. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with skin
and eyes. Do not breathe dust, vapor, mist, or gas. Do not get in eyes, on
skin, or on clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and
inhalation. Do not ingest or inhale. Handle under an inert atmosphere. Store
protected from air. Discard contaminated shoes. Keep container closed when not
in use. Keep away from water. Keep containers tightly closed. Do not expose to
