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: In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention.

Skin Contact: In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Wash contaminated clothing before re-use. Destroy or thoroughly clean contaminated shoes.

Inhalation: If inhaled, move to fresh air. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.

Ingestion: If swallowed, only induce vomiting as directed by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a physician or poison control center immediately.

Note to physician: Treatment: Absorption of this material into the body leads to the formation of methemoglobin that, in sufficient concentration, causes cyanosis. Since reversion of methemoglobin to hemoglobin occurs spontaneously after termination of exposure, moderate degrees of cyanosis need to be treated only

by supportive measures such as bed rest and oxygen inhalation. Thorough cleansing of the entire contaminated area of the body, including scalp and nails, is of utmost importance. If cyanosis is severe, intravenous injection of methylene blue, one milligram per kilogram of body weight, may be of value.

Medical Conditions generally Aggravated by Exposure:

Hydroquinone               ACGIH                                   Time weighted average                         2 mg/m3

OSHA Z1                                Permissible exposure limit                     2 mg/m3

Sulphur dioxide             ACGIH                                    Time weighted average                         2 ppm

ACGIH                                    Short term exposure limit                      5 ppm

OSHA Z1                                Permissible exposure limit                     5 ppm 13 mg/m3

Engineering Controls

Ventilation required: Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. Controls should be sufficient so that applicable occupational exposure limits are not exceeded.

Personal Protection Equipment

Respiratory protection: If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations below recommended exposure limits, an approved respirator must be worn. Respirator type: full-face cartridge respirator with acid gas cartridge and N95 filter. A respirator should be worn if hazardous decomposition products are likely to be or have been released. Respirator type: Acid gas. See Stability and Reactivity Section. If respirators are used, a program should be instituted to assure compliance with applicable federal, state, commonwealth, provincial, or local laws and regulations.

Protective gloves: Wear impervious gloves.
Skin protection: Appropriate protective clothing.
Eye protection: Wear safety glasses with side shields (goggles).

Additional clothing and/or equipment: Safety shower, eye wash, washing facilities as appropriate to condition of use.

There is insufficient evidence for classifying hydroquinone as a suspected carcinogenic or mutagenic substance in humans. No increases in cancer rates were observed in an epidemiology study which looked at mortality among more than 800 persons employed primarily in the manufacture of hydroquinone. Carcinogenicity studies in animals were inconclusive. Rats and mice were given hydroquinone by stomach tube or at high concentrations in the diet. Responses were not consistent across route of exposure, species or sex. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified hydroquinone in Group 3, i.e., "not classifiable" as a carcinogen. Hydroquinone is generally negative in bacterial mutagenicity tests; there is evidence for the clastogenicity (chromosome breakage) of hydroquinone in vivo and in vitro. The relevance of chromosomal effects in test animals in predicting human risk is unclear.

Contains: Bis(4-hydroxy-N-methylanilinium) sulphate. Based on animal data, may cause adverse effects on the following organs/systems: blood, kidney, spleen. Based on animal data this material can produce methemoglobin which, in sufficient concentration, causes cyanosis, a blue-gray discoloration of the skin and lips caused by a reduced ability of the blood to carry oxygen.

Data for Potassium bromide (CAS 7758-02-3): Acute Toxicity Data:  Oral LD50 (rat): > 1,600 mg/kg. Potassium bromide: Ingestion of bromide salts can cause nausea, vomiting, headache, irritability, delirium, memory loss, decreased appetite, joint pain, hallucinations, stupor, coma, and acne like rash on face, legs, and trunk.
