| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | The alloy rapidly forms corrosive alkali hydroxide with evolution of heat. Severe thermal and chemical burns will result. Toxic by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed. Danger of cumulative effects. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Contact with skin and eyes. Vapor inhalation. |
| Eye Contact: | Severe thermal burns, corrosion and ulceration of the eyes may occur on direct contact. |
| Skin Contact: | Severe thermal burns, corrosion and ulceration of the skin may occur on direct contact. |
| Inhalation: | Inhalation of dust will severely irritate the nasal cavity and respiratory tract. Mercury vapor is toxic |
| Ingestion: | Toxic if swallowed. Ingestion will cause burns and perforations of the gastrointestinal tract. |
| Acute Health Effects: | Corrosive to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. Toxic by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed. |
| Chronic Health Effects: | Danger of cumulative effects. The chronic effects of mercury poisoning include stomatitis, tremors, psychic disturbances, excessive salivation, and pain on chewing. Other effects include loss of memory, insomnia, lack of confidence, irritability and depression. |

| 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 for at least 15 minutes. 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. |
