Health Hazards Information - Recommended Personal Protective Equipment: U. S. Bu. Mines
approved respirator: rubber gloves; safety glasses with side shields or chemical goggles: coveralls or
rubber apron; Symptoms Following Exposure: Inhalation of vapors or dust causes irritation of
respiratory tract, ingestion causes burns of mucous membranes, severe diarrhea, pallor, sweating,
weakness, headache, dizziness, tinnitus, shock, and severe convulsions: may also cause siderosis of the
spleen and tubular injury to the kidney. Contact with eyes causes irritation. Can be absorbed from
wounds or through unbroken skin, producing severe dermatitis, methemoglobinemia, cyanosis,
convulsions, tachycardia, dyspnea, and death; General Treatment for Exposure: INHALATION:
remove victim to fresh air; if he is not breathing, give artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth;
if breathing is difficult, give oxygen, call a physician. INGESTION: give activated charcoal; administer
gastric lavage with water; consult physician. EYES: flush with water for IS min. SKIN: flush with
water; Toxicity by Inhalation (ThresholdLim't Value) : Data not available; Short-Tern Exposure Limits:
Data not available; Toxicity by Ingestion: Grade 3, oral LD,, =460 mgkg (rat); Late Toxicity: Data
not available; Vapor (Gar) Irritarid Characteristics: Data not available; Liquid or Solid Im'tant
Characteristics: Data not available; Odor lkreshold 71 ppm.
Fire Hazards - Flash Point (&g. F): 225 CC; Flammable Limits in Air (W): No data; Fire
Extinguishing Agents: Water, dry chemical, foam, or carbon dioxide; Fire Extinguishing Agents Not
To Be Used: Not pertinent; Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Toxic oxides of nitrogen form
in fires; Behavior in Fire: Exposure to heat can result in pressure build-up in closed containers,
resulting in bulging or even explosion; Ignition Temperature (deg. F): 896; Electrical Hazard: No data;
Burning Rate: 4.1 mmtmin.
