| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | May be irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. May be harmful if swallowed. Inhalation hazard as a fine dust or fume. Equivocal tumorigenic agent by RTECS criteria. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Ingestion, inhalation (of dust or fume) |
| Eye Contact: | The dust may cause slight to mild irritation of the eyes. |
| Skin Contact: | The dust may cause slight to mild irritation of the skin. |
| Inhalation: | Hazard associated with inhalation of fine dust or fume. May be irritating to nasal cavity and respiratory tract. |
| Ingestion: | No specific information is available on the physiological effects of ingestion. May cause vomiting and diarrhea. |
| Acute Health Effects: | Dust may be irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. Ingestion can lead to gastrointestinal effects, vomiting and nausea. |
| Chronic Health Effects: | Long term exposure to dust or fume may lead to blood disorders, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease. Effects on embryo or fetus, fetotoxicity. |
| NTP: | No |
| IARC: | No |
| OSHA: | No |
| SECTION 4: First Aid Measures | |
|---|---|
| Eye Exposure: | Immediately flush the eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 10-15 minutes. A victim may need assistance in keeping their eye lids open. Get immediate medical attention. |
| Skin Exposure: | Wash the affected area with water. Remove contaminated clothes if necessary. Seek medical assistance if irritation persists. |
| Inhalation: | Remove the victim to fresh air. Closely monitor the victim for signs of respiratory problems, such as difficulty in breathing, coughing, wheezing, or pain. In such cases seek immediate medical assistance. |
| Ingestion: | Seek medical attention immediately. Keep the victim calm. Give the victim water (only if conscious). Induce vomiting only if directed by medical personnel. |
| SECTION 5: Fire Fighting Measures | |
|---|---|
| Flash Point: | pyrophoric |
| Autoignition Temperature: | none |
| Explosion Limits: | none |
| Extinguishing Medium: | Class D metal fire agent, dry salt or sand. |
| Special Fire Fighting Procedures: | Burning metal produces titanium dioxide fumes. Fire fighters should be equipped with a self-contained breathing apparatus. |
| Hazardous Combustion and Decomposion Products: | Titanium oxide as an oxidation product. |
| Unusual Fire or Explosion Hazards: | Material may spontaneously ignite on exposure to air, especially in the form of a fine dust. |
| SECTION 6: Accidental Release Measures | |
|---|---|
| Spill and Leak Procedures: | In the case of a spill, the fine powder should be covered with sodium carbonate or dolomite in order to reduce the formation of dust. Sweep up the mixture. |
| SECTION 7: Handling and Storage | |
|---|---|
| Handling and Storage: | Store and handle the material under an inert atmosphere of nitrogen or argon. |
| SECTION 8: Exposure Controls and Personal Protection | |
|---|---|
| Eye Protection: | Always wear approved safety glasses when handling a chemical substance in the laboratory. |
| Skin Protection: | Wear protective clothing and gloves. |
| Ventilation: | If in the form of a fine dust, handle the material in an efficient fume hood. |
| Respirator: | If handling material in the form of a fine dust and ventilation is not available, a respirator should be worn. The use of respirators requires a Respirator Protection Program to be in compliance with 29 CFR 1910.134. |
| Additional Protection: | No additional protection required. |
