| SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES | |
EYE:
MOVE VICTIM AWAY FROM EXPOSURE AND INTO FRESH AIR. IF IRRITATION OR REDNESS
DEVELOPS, FLUSH EYES WITH CLEAN WATER AND SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
FOR DIRECT CONTACT, IMMEDIATELY HOLD EYELIDS APART AND FLUSH THE AFFECTED
EYE(S) WITH CLEAN WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
SKIN:
REMOVE CONTAMINATED SHOES AND CLOTHING, AND FLUSH AFFECTED AREA(S) WITH
LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER. IF SKIN SURFACE IS DAMAGED, APPLY A CLEAN DRESSING
AND SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. IF SKIN SURFACE IS NOT DAMAGED, CLEANSE
AFFECTED AREA(S) THOROUGHLY BY WASHING WITH MILD SOAP OR WATER.
IF IRRITATION OR REDNESS DEVELOPS, SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
INHALATION (BREATHING):
IF RESPIRATORY SYMPTOMS OR OTHER SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE DEVELOP, MOVE VICTIM
AWAY FROM SOURCE OF EXPOSURE AND INTO FRESH AIR. IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST, SEEK
MEDICAL ATTENTION. IF VICTIM IS NOT BREATHING, CLEAR AIRWAY AND IMMEDIATELY
BEGIN ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF BREATHING DIFFICULTIES DEVELOP, OXYGEN
SHOULD BE ADMINISTERED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL. SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL
ATTENTION.
INGESTION (SWALLOWING):
IF SWALLOWED, SEEK EMERGENCY MEDICAL ATTENTION. IF VICTIM IS DROWSY OR
UNCONSCIOUS AND VOMITING, PLACE ON LEFT SIDE WITH THE HEAD DOWN AND DO NOT
GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH. IF VICTIM IS CONSCIOUS AND ALERT AND INGESTION
OCCURRED WITHIN THE LAST HOUR, VOMITING SHOULD BE INDUCED FOR INGESTION OF
LARGE AMOUNTS (MORE THAN 5 OUNCES IN AN ADULT) UNDER DIRECTION FROM A
PHYSICIAN OR POISON CENTER. IF POSSIBLE, DO NOT LEAVE VICTIM UNATTENDED
AND OBSERVE CLOSELY FOR ADEQUACY OF BREATHING.
NOTE TO PHYSICIANS:
NITRATES IN LARGE DOSES MAY CAUSE SIGNIFICANT VASODILATION AND HYPOTENSION.
PRE-EXISTING ISCHEMIC HEART DISEASE MAY BE AGGRAVATED BY THESE EFFECTS. IN
LARGE INGESTIONS NITRATES MAY CAUSE METHEMOGLOBINEMIA. METHEMOGLOBINEMIA
SHOULD BE SUSPECTED IF CYANOSIS OCCURS. METHYLENE BLUE (1-2 MG/KG I.V.
OVER SEVERAL MINUTES) IS AN EFFECTIVE ANTIDOTE FOR SYMPTOMATIC
METHEMOGLOBINEMIA.
| SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES | |
FLAMMABLE PROPERTIES:
FLASH POINT: NONE
OSHA FLAMMABILITY CLASS: NOT APPLICABLE
LEL/UEL: NO DATA
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: NO DATA
UNUSUAL FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
OXIDIZER. THE DRY CHEMICAL OF THIS MATERIAL IS AN OXIDIZER AND MAY INCREASE
INFLAMMABILITY OF ANY COMBUSTIBLE SUBSTANCE. IT IS THE NATURE OF OXIDIZERS
TO PROVIDE THEIR OWN OXYGEN SOURCE; SMOTHERING A FIRE MAY BE INEFFECTIVE.
NITRATE SALTS SUPPORT COMBUSTION UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS. AMMONIUM NITRATE
IS CAPABLE OF DETONATION IF HEATED UNDER CONFINEMENT OR IF SUBJECTED TO
STRONG SHOCKS. ORGANIC OR OTHER EASILY OXIDIZABLE MATTER CAN SENSITIZE IT
TO A MORE READILY EXPLODABLE STATE. DO NOT ALLOW PRODUCT TO EVAPORATE TO
DRYNESS, ESPECIALLY IN CONTACT WITH COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
USE WATER ONLY. DO NOT USE DRY CHEMICAL, CARBON DIOXIDE OR FOAM.
FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS:
FOR FIRES BEYOND THE INCIPIENT STAGE, EMERGENCY RESPONDERS IN THE IMMEDIATE
HAZARD AREA SHOULD WEAR BUNKER GEAR. WHEN THE POTENTIAL CHEMICAL HAZARD IS
UNKNOWN, IN ENCLOSED OR CONFINED SPACES, OR WHEN EXPLICITLY REQUIRED BY
DOT, A SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS SHOULD BE WORN. IN ADDITION, WEAR
OTHER APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AS CONDITIONS WARRANT (SEE SECTION
8). ISOLATE IMMEDIATE HAZARD AREA AND KEEP UNAUTHORIZED PERSONNEL OUT. STOP
SPILL/RELEASE IF IT CAN BE DONE WITH MINIMAL RISK. MOVE UNDAMAGED
CONTAINERS FROM IMMEDIATE HAZARD AREA IF IT CAN BE DONE WITH MINIMAL RISK.
WATER SPRAY MAY BE USEFUL IN MINIMIZING OR DISPERSING VAPORS. COOL
EQUIPMENT EXPOSED TO FIRE WITH WATER, IF IT CAN BE DONE WITH MINIMAL RISK.
| SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES | |
THE DRY CHEMICAL OF THIS MATERIAL IS AN OXIDIZER. KEEP ALL SOURCES OF
IGNITION AND HOT METAL SURFACES AWAY FROM SPILL/RELEASE. THE USE OF
EXPLOSION-PROOF EQUIPMENT IS RECOMMENDED. STAY UPWIND AND AWAY FROM
SPILL/RELEASE. NOTIFY PERSON DOWN WIND OF SPILL/RELEASE, ISOLATE IMMEDIATE
HAZARD AREA AND KEEP UNAUTHORIZED PERSONNEL OUT. STOP SPILL/RELEASE IF IT
CAN BE DONE WITH MINIMAL RISK. WEAR APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
INCLUDING RESPIRATORY PROTECTION AS CONDITIONS WARRANT (SEE SECTION 8).
PREVENT SPILLED MATERIAL FROM ENTERING SEWERS, STORM DRAINS, OTHER
UNAUTHORIZED TREATMENT DRAINAGE SYSTEMS, AND NATURAL WATERWAYS. DIKE FAR
AHEAD OF SPILL FOR LATER RECOVERY OR DISPOSAL. SPILLED MATERIAL MAY BE
ABSORBED INTO AN APPROPRIATE ABSORBENT MATERIAL. NOTIFY APPROPRIATE
FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL AGENCIES. IMMEDIATE CLEANUP OF ANY SPILL IS
RECOMMENDED
| SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE | |
HANDLING:
DO NOT ENTER CONFINED SPACES SUCH AS TANKS OR PITS WITHOUT FOLLOWING PROPER
ENTRY PROCEDURES SUCH AS ASTM D-4276 AND 29 CFR 1910.146. THE USE OF
APPROPRIATE RESPIRATORY PROTECTION IS ADVISED WHEN CONCENTRATIONS EXCEED
ANY ESTABLISHED EXPOSURE LIMITS (SEE SECTION 2 AND 8). WASH THOROUGHLY
AFTER HANDLING. DO NOT WEAR CONTAMINATED CLOTHING OR SHOES. USE GOOD
PERSONAL HYGIENE PRACTICE. "EMPTY" CONTAINERS RETAIN RESIDUE AND MAY BE
DANGEROUS. DO NOT PRESSURIZE, CUT, WELD, BRAZE, SOLDER, DRILL, GRIND, OR
EXPOSE SUCH CONTAINERS TO HEAT, FLAME, SPARKS, OR OTHER SOURCES OF
IGNITION. THEY MAY EXPLODE AND CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH. CONTAINER SHOULD BE
DISPOSED IN AN ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE MANNER AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH
GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS. BEFORE WORKING ON OR IN TANKS WHICH CONTAIN OR
HAVE CONTAINED THIS MATERIAL, REFER TO OSHA REGULATIONS, ANSI Z49.1 AND
OTHER GOVERNMENTAL AND INDUSTRIAL REFERENCES PERTAINING TO CLEANING,
WELDING, OR OTHER CONTEMPLATED OPERATIONS.
STORAGE:
USE AND STORE THIS MATERIAL IN ROOM TEMPERATURE, WELL-VENTILATED AREAS
AWAY FROM HEAT AND ALL SOURCES OF IGNITION. POST AREA "NO SMOKING OR OPEN
FLAME." SOLUTION IS CORROSIVE TO COPPER, COPPER ALLOYS, LEAD, AND ZINC.
STORE TO AVOID CONTACT WITH INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS SUCH AS ORDINARY
COMBUSTIBLES, FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS, GREASES, AND THOSE MATERIALS, INCLUDING
OTHER OXIDIZERS, THAT COULD REACT WITH THE OXIDIZER OR CATALYZE ITS
DECOMPOSITION (SEE SECTION 10). PROHIBIT ACCUMULATION OF COMBUSTIBLE WASTE
IN STORAGE AREAS. COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS THAT MAY BE IN CONTACT
WITH OXIDIZERS SHALL BE PROTECTED WITH A COMPATIBLE COATING TO PREVENT
IMPREGNATION OF THE COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS BY THE OXIDIZERS. PROTECT
CONTAINER(S) AGAINST PHYSICAL DAMAGE.
| SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION | |
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
IF CURRENT VENTILATION PRACTICES ARE NOT ADEQUATE TO MINIMIZE EXPOSURE,
ADDITIONAL VENTILATION OR EXHAUST SYSTEMS MAY BE REQUIRED.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE):
RESPIRATORY:
A NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED AIR PURIFYING RESPIRATOR WITH A N95 FILTER MAY BE
USED UNDER CONDITIONS WHERE AIRBORNE CONCENTRATIONS ARE EXPECTED TO EXCEED
EXPOSURE LIMITS (SEE SECTION 2). PROTECTION PROVIDED BY AIR PURIFYING
RESPIRATORS IS LIMITED (SEE MANUFACTURER'S RESPIRATOR SELECTION GUIDE).
USE A POSITIVE PRESSURE AIR SUPPLIED RESPIRATOR IF THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR
AN UNCONTROLLED RELEASE, EXPOSURE LEVELS ARE NOT KNOWN, OR ANY OTHER
CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE AIR PURIFYING RESPIRATORS MAY NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE
PROTECTION. A RESPIRATORY PROTECTION PROGRAM THAT MEETS OSHA'S 29 CFR
1910.134 AND ANSI Z88.2 REQUIREMENTS MUST BE FOLLOWED WHENEVER WORKPLACE
CONDITIONS WARRANT A RESPIRATOR'S USE.
SKIN:
THE USE OF GLOVES IMPERMEABLE TO THE SPECIFIC MATERIAL HANDLED IS ADVISED
TO PREVENT SKIN CONTACT, POSSIBLE IRRITATION, ABSORPTION, AND SKIN DAMAGE
(SEE GLOVE MANUFACTURER LITERATURE FOR INFORMATION ON PERMEABILITY).
DEPENDING ON CONDITIONS OF USE, APRON AND/OR ARM COVERS MAY BE NECESSARY.
EYE/FACE:
APPROVED EYE PROTECTION TO SAFEGUARD AGAINST POTENTIAL EYE CONTACT,
IRRITATION, OR INJURY IS RECOMMENDED. DEPENDING ON CONDITIONS OF USE, A
FACE SHIELD MAY BE NECESSARY.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
A SOURCE OF CLEAN WATER SHOULD BE AVAILABLE IN THE WORK AREA FOR FLUSHING
EYES AND SKIN. IMPERVIOUS CLOTHING SHOULD BE WORN AS NEEDED.
