Ingredient CAS Number Percent ACGIH (TWA) OSHA (PEL)
Title Compound 1302-81-4 100 no data no data
SECTION 3: Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview: Irritating to the respiratory tract, skin and eyes. May be harmful if swallowed.
Primary Routes of Exposure: Ingestion, inhalation, skin and eyes
Eye Contact: Dust causes mild to moderate irritation of the eyes.
Skin Contact: Causes slight irritation of the skin.
Inhalation: Inhalation of dust will lead to irritation of the respiratory tract. Hydrogen sulfide gas, if formed, is poisonous.
Ingestion: No information on the physiological effects of ingestion.
Acute Health Effects: Hydrogen sulfide, if released, causes nausea, dizziness and pulmonary edema.
Chronic Health Effects: No information available on long-term chronic effects.
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: not applicable
Autoignition Temperature: no data
Explosion Limits: no data
Extinguishing Medium: carbon dioxide or dry powder
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: If this product is involved in a fire, fire fighters should be equipped with a NIOSH approved positive pressure self- contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing.
Hazardous Combustion and Decomposion Products: If involved in a fire this material may emit irritating fumes of hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide.
Unusual Fire or Explosion Hazards: Flammable solid. Formation of explosive air/dust mixtures is possible.
SECTION 6: Accidental Release Measures
Spill and Leak Procedures: Remove sources of ignition. Do not raise dust. Mix with vermiculite, sodium carbonate or other suitable dry non combustible adsorbent and sweep up.
SECTION 7: Handling and Storage
Handling and Storage: Store in a tightly sealed container. Exposure to the atmosphere may lead to release of toxic hydrogen sulfide gas. Empty containers may retain product residues that evolve toxic gases.
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 appropriate chemical resistant gloves and protective clothing.
Ventilation: If possible, handle the material in an efficient fume hood.
Respirator: If ventilation is not available a respirator should be worn. The use of a respirators requires a Respirator Protection Program to be in compliance with 29 CFR 1910.134.
Additional Protection: No additional protection required.
