| SECTION 3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION | |
POTENTIAL ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS:
VERY HAZARDOUS IN CASE OF SKIN CONTACT (CORROSIVE, IRRITANT, PERMEATOR),
OF EYE CONTACT (IRRITANT, CORROSIVE), OF INGESTION, OF INHALATION. THE
AMOUNT OF TISSUE DAMAGE DEPENDS ON LENGTH OF CONTACT. EYE CONTACT CAN
RESULT IN CORNEAL DAMAGE OR BLINDNESS. SKIN CONTACT CAN PRODUCE
INFLAMMATION AND BLISTERING. INHALATION OF DUST WILL PRODUCE IRRITATION TO
GASTRO-INTESTINAL OR RESPIRATORY TRACT, CHARACTERIZED BY BURNING, SNEEZING
AND COUGHING. SEVERE OVER-EXPOSURE CAN PRODUCE LUNG DAMAGE, CHOKING,
UNCONSCIOUSNESS OR DEATH. INFLAMMATION OF THE EYE IS CHARACTERIZED BY
REDNESS, WATERING, AND ITCHING. SKIN INFLAMMATION IS CHARACTERIZED BY
ITCHING, SCALING, REDDENING, OR, OCCASIONALLY, BLISTERING.
POTENTIAL CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS:
CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS: NOT AVAILABLE.
MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: NOT AVAILABLE.
TERATOGENIC EFFECTS: NOT AVAILABLE.
DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: NOT AVAILABLE.
THE SUBSTANCE MAY BE TOXIC TO MUCOUS MEMBRANES, UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT,
SKIN, EYES.
REPEATED OR PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO THE SUBSTANCE CAN PRODUCE TARGET ORGANS
DAMAGE. REPEATED EXPOSURE OF THE EYES TO A LOW LEVEL OF DUST CAN PRODUCE
EYE IRRITATION. REPEATED SKIN EXPOSURE CAN PRODUCE LOCAL SKIN DESTRUCTION,
OR DERMATITIS. REPEATED INHALATION OF DUST CAN PRODUCE VARYING DEGREE OF
RESPIRATORY IRRITATION OR LUNG DAMAGE.
| SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES | |
EYE CONTACT:
CHECK FOR AND REMOVE ANY CONTACT LENSES. IN CASE OF CONTACT, IMMEDIATELY
FLUSH EYES WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. COLD WATER MAY BE
USED. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
SKIN CONTACT:
IN CASE OF CONTACT, IMMEDIATELY FLUSH SKIN WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT
LEAST 15 MINUTES WHILE REMOVING CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND SHOES. COVER
THE IRRITATED SKIN WITH AN EMOLLIENT. COLD WATER MAY BE USED. WASH
CLOTHING BEFORE REUSE. THOROUGHLY CLEAN SHOES BEFORE REUSE. GET MEDICAL
ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
SERIOUS SKIN CONTACT:
WASH WITH A DISINFECTANT SOAP AND COVER THE CONTAMINATED SKIN WITH AN
ANTI-BACTERIAL CREAM. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
INHALATION:
IF INHALED, REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE ARTIFICIAL
RESPIRATION. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION
IMMEDIATELY.
SERIOUS INHALATION:
EVACUATE THE VICTIM TO A SAFE AREA AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. LOOSEN TIGHT
CLOTHING SUCH AS A COLLAR, TIE, BELT OR WAISTBAND. IF BREATHING IS
DIFFICULT, ADMINISTER OXYGEN. IF THE VICTIM IS NOT BREATHING, PERFORM
MOUTH-TO-MOUTH RESUSCITATION.
WARNING:
IT MAY BE HAZARDOUS TO THE PERSON PROVIDING AID TO GIVE MOUTH-TO-MOUTH
RESUSCITATION WHEN THE INHALED MATERIAL IS TOXIC, INFECTIOUS OR
CORROSIVE. SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
INGESTION:
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING UNLESS DIRECTED TO DO SO BY MEDICAL PERSONNEL.
NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON. IF LARGE QUANTITIES
OF THIS MATERIAL ARE SWALLOWED, CALL A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY. LOOSEN TIGHT
CLOTHING SUCH AS A COLLAR, TIE, BELT OR WAISTBAND.
SERIOUS INGESTION: NOT AVAILABLE.

SPECIAL REMARKS ON FIRE HAZARDS:
SODIUM HYDROXIDE + ZINC METAL DUST CAUSES IGNITION OF THE LATTER.
UNDER PROPER CONDITIONS OF TEMPERATURE, PRESSURE AND STATE OF DIVISION, IT
CAN IGNITE OR REACT VIOLENTLY WITH ACETALDEHYDE, ALLY ALCOHOL, ALKYL
CHLORIDE, BENZENE-1,4-DIOL, CHLORINE TRIFLUORIDE, 1,2 DICHLOROETHYLENE,
NITROETHANE, NITROMETHANE, NITROPARAFFINS, NITROPROPANE, CINNAMALDEHYDE,
2,2-DICHLORO-3,3-DIMETHYLBUTANE. SODIUM HYDROXIDE IN CONTACT WITH WATER
MAY GENERATE ENOUGH HEAT TO IGNITE ADJACENT COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS.
PHOSPHOROUS BOILED WITH NaOH YIELDS MIXED PHOSPHINES WHICH MAY IGNITE
SPONTANEOUSLY IN AIR.
SODIUM HYDROXIDE AND CINNAMALDEHYDE + HEAT MAY CAUSE IGNITION.
REACTION WITH CERTAIN METALS RELEASES FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE HYDROGEN
GAS.
SPECIAL REMARKS ON EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
SODIUM HYDROXIDE REACTS TO FORM EXPLOSIVE PRODUCTS WITH AMMONIA + SILVER
NITRATE.
BENZENE EXTRACT OF ALLYL BENZENESULFONATE PREPARED FROM ALLYL ALCOHOL, AND
BENZENE SULFONYL CHLORIDE IN PRESENCE OF AQUEOUS SODIUM HYDROXIDE, UNDER
VACUUM DISTILLATION, RESIDUE DARKENED AND EXPLODED.
SODIUM HYDROXIDE + IMPURE TETRAHYDROFURAN, WHICH CAN CONTAIN PEROXIDES,
CAN CAUSE SERIOUS EXPLOSIONS. DRY MIXTURES OF SODIUM HYDROXIDE AND SODIUM
TETRAHYDROBORATE LIBERATE HYDROGEN EXPLOSIVELY AT 230-270 DEG. C.
SODIUM HYDROXIDE REACTS WITH SODIUM SALT OF TRICHLOROPHENOL + METHYL
ALCOHOL + TRICHLOROBENZENE + HEAT TO CAUSE AN EXPLOSION.
| SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES | |
