**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: dark green.
Warning! Methemoglobin forming agent. May cause eye
and skin
irritation. May cause respiratory and digestive
tract irritation. May
cause cancer based on animal studies. Potential
cancer hazard.
Target Organs: Blood, blood forming organs,
thyroid.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation.
Skin:
May cause skin irritation. May be absorbed through the skin in
harmful amounts. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction,
which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material. If
absorbed, causes symptoms similar to those of ingestion.
Ingestion:
May cause irritation of the digestive tract. May cause
methemoglobinemia, cyanosis (bluish discoloration of skin due to
deficient oxygenation of the blood), convulsions, and death.
Methemoglobinemia is characterized by dizziness, drowsiness,
headache, breath shortness, cyanosis with bluish skin, rapid heart
rate and chocolate-brown colored blood. Exposure may cause anemia and
other blood abnormalities.
Inhalation:
May cause respiratory tract irritation. May cause methemoglobinemia,
cyanosis, convulsions, tachycardia, dyspnea (labored breathing), and
death. May cause effects similar to those described for ingestion.
Methemoglobinemia is characterized by dizziness, drowsiness,
headache, breath shortness, cyanosis with bluish skin, rapid heart
rate and chocolate-brown blood.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis. Chronic
inhalation and ingestion may cause effects similar to those of acute
inhalation and ingestion. Prolonged exposure may cause anemia and
methemoglobinemia, characterized by dizziness, drowsiness, headache,
breath shortness, cyanosis (bluish skin due to deficient oxygenation
of
the blood), rapid heart rate and chocolate-brown colored blood.
Chronic exposure can affect thyroid function. May cause pituitary
gland abnormalities.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at
least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash
clothing before reuse.
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.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing,
give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Get medical aid. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
Notes to Physician:
For methemoglobinemia, administer oxygen alone or with Methylene
blue depending on the methemoglobinemia concentration in the blood.
Antidote:
Methylene blue, alone or in combination with oxygen is indicated as
a
treatment in nitrite induced methemoglobinemia.
**** SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES ****
General Information:
As
in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases
may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. This
material in sufficient quantity and reduced particle size is capable
of
creating a dust explosion.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Use water spray,
dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or chemical foam.
Autoignition Temperature:Not
available.
Flash Point:
Not available.
Explosion Limits, lower:Not
available.
Explosion Limits, upper:Not

NFPA Rating: (estimated) Health:
2; Flammability: 0; Reactivity: 0
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use
proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal
container. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to
waterways. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the
Protective Equipment section. Avoid generating dusty conditions.
Provide ventilation.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Use only in a well-ventilated area.
Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid breathing dust,
vapor, mist, or gas. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing.
Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation.
Storage:
Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped
with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate general or
local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the
permissible exposure limits.
