**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: dark red-brown.
Warning! May cause allergic skin reaction. May
cause fetal effects
based upon animal studies. Causes eye and skin
irritation. Causes
digestive and respiratory tract irritation. Eye
contact may result in
permanent eye damage.
Target Organs: Thyroid.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation and possible injury.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic
reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material.
Ingestion:
Causes gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea. Chronic ingestion of iodides during pregnancy has resulted
in
fetal death, severe goiter, and cretinoid appearance of the
newborn.
Inhalation:
Causes respiratory tract irritation.
Chronic:
Chronic exposure can lead to iodism characterized by salivation,
nasal discharge, sneezing, conjunctivitis, fever, laryngitis,
bronchitis, stomatitis, and skin rashes. May interfere with iodine
uptake of the thyroid gland and enlarge it. Chronic ingestion of
iodides during pregnancy has resulted in fetal death, severe goiter,
and cretinoid appearance of the newborn.. Prolonged exposure to
iodides may produce iodism in sensitive individuals. Symptoms could
include skin rash, running nose and headache.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
Immediately 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. Wash clothing before reuse. Flush skin with plenty
of
soap and water.
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.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If breathing is
difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid. 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.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and
**** 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.
Non-combustible, substance itself does not burn but may decompose
upon heating to produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic fumes.
Extinguishing Media:
Substance is noncombustible; use agent most appropriate to
extinguish surrounding fire.
Autoignition Temperature:Not
applicable.
Flash Point:
Not applicable.
Explosion Limits, lower:Not
available.
Explosion Limits, upper:Not
available.
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:
Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth),
then place in suitable container. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and
ditches which lead to waterways. Clean up spills immediately,
observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Provide
ventilation.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid
contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid ingestion and
inhalation.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible
substances.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Good general ventilation should be sufficient to control airborne
levels. Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be
equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower.
