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 reuse. Destroy or thoroughly clean contaminated shoes.
Inhalation: Move to fresh air. Treat symptomatically. Get medical attention.

Ingestion: Only induce vomiting at the instruction of medical personnel. Call a physician or poison control center immediately. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

Note to physician

Treatment: ND

Medical Conditions generally Aggravated by Exposure: Some asthmatics or hypersensitive individuals may experience difficult breathing if product inhaled. If ingested, some asthmatics or sulfite-sensitive individuals may experience wheezing, chest tightness, stomach upset, hives, faintness, weakness and diarrhea.

Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point: NA
Flammable Limits: ND

Auto-ignition point: ND
Fire Extinguishing Media: Water spray, carbon dioxide (CO2), dry chemical. Flush with plenty of water.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit. Fire or excessive heat may produce hazardous decomposition products.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Reducing agent reacts violently with oxidizing materials. Accumulations of powdered material may self-heat upon exposure to air. Dust may form explosive mixture in air.

Prevention of Fire and Explosion: Keep from contact with oxidizing materials, highly oxygenated or halogenated solvents, organic compounds containing reducible functional groups. Remove and wash contaminated clothing promptly. Dust may form explosive mixture in air. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Use only with adequate ventilation. Keep away from sources of ignition. Refer to NFPA 654, "Standard for the Prevention of Fire and Dust Explosions from the Manufacturing, Processing, and Handling of Combustible Particulate Solids."

Hazardous combustion products: Carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides

DOT Class: Not regulated

Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled: Shovel into suitable container for disposal. Avoid dust formation. Clean surface thoroughly to remove residual contamination.

Waste Disposal Methods: Dispose of waste according to Federal, State and Local Regulations.

Section 7: Handling and Storage
Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storage:  Do not breathe dust at concentrations greater than the exposure limits. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Use only with adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling. Store in original container. Keep container tightly closed. Keep away from incompatible substances (see Incompatibility section.)

Storage temperature: ND

Storage Pressure: ND

Section 8: Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Engineering Controls

Ventilation required: Good general ventilation should be used so that applicable occupational exposure limits are not exceeded. Supplementary local exhaust ventilation, closed systems, or respiratory protection may be needed in special circumstances.

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: N95 Particulate Filter. A respirator should be worn if hazardous decomposition products are likely to be or have been released. Respirator type: Acid gas. If respirators are used, a program should be instituted to assure compliance with OSHA Standard 29CFR 1910.134 and 29CFR1910.1048.

Protective gloves: Wear impervious gloves.
Skin protection: Appropriate protective clothing.
Eye protection: Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles).
Additional clothing and/or equipment: Safety shower, eye wash, washing facilities as appropriate to condition of use.

Section 11: Toxicological Information

Results of component toxicity test performed:

Contains: Sodium thiosulfate. The toxicological properties of this material have not been fully investigated and its handling and use may present additional hazards. Expected to be a low health hazard for recommended handling.

Contains: Boric anhydride. Based on repeated-dose ingestion studies in animals, may cause adverse reproductive and developmental effects. However, the doses administered were many times those to which humans would normally be exposed. Acute Toxicity Data: (Oral, rat) : LD50 = 2.1 – 5.5 ml/kg. (Dermal, rat): LD50 = > 20 mL/kg. Skin Sensitization: low potential.

Data for Sodium metabisulphite (CAS 7681-57-4): Acute Toxicity Data:  Oral LD50 (male rat): 1,900 mg/kg.  Oral LD50 (female rat): 1,130 mg/kg.  Dermal LD50: > 1,000 mg/kg.  Skin irritation: slight.  Skin irritation: moderate (repeated skin application).  Skin Sensitization: none.  Eye irritation: moderate to strong. Definitions for the following section(s): LOEL =lowest-observed-effect level, LOAEL = lowest observed-adverse-effect, NOAEL = no observed-adverse-effect level, NOEL =no-observed-effect level. Repeated dose toxicity:  Oral (14-day, rat): NOEL; > 1105 mg/kg/day

Human experience: This material has a low potential to cause allergic skin reactions; however, cases of human skin sensitization have been reported.

This product does not contain any compounds listed by NTP or IARC or regulated by OSHA as a carcinogen.

Section 12: Ecological Information

Ecological Information: The following properties are ESTIMATED from the components of the preparations. Potential toxicity: Fish LC50 > 100 mg/l. Daphid EC50 = 10 – 100 mg/l. Algal IC50 = 10 – 100 mg/l. Other organisms EC50  >100 mg/l.

Persistence and degradability: Readily biodegradable. Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) = 248 g/l. Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) = 200 g/l.

Chemical Fate Information: ND

Section 13 Disposal Considerations

RCRA 40 CFR 261 Classification: Discharge, treatment, or disposal is subject to national, state, provincial, or municipal laws. Consult state or local regulatory authorities before flushing to sewer with large amounts of water. Since emptied containers retain product residue, follow label warnings even after container is emptied.

Federal, State and local laws governing disposal of materials can differ. Ensure proper disposal compliance with proper authorities before disposal.
