| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | Dust causes slight to mild irritation of eyes, skin, and nasal cavity. Burning sulfur produces a choking gas. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Contact with skin and eyes. Dust inhalation. |
| Eye Contact: | Causes slight to mild irritation of the eyes. |
| Skin Contact: | Causes slight to mild irritation of the skin. |
| Inhalation: | Irritating to the nose, mucous membranes and respiratory tract. Burning sulfur evolves acutely irritating gasses. |
| Ingestion: | No specific information is available on the physiological effects of ingestion. |
| Acute Health Effects: | Dust is irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. |
| Chronic Health Effects: | No information available on long-term exposure to this material. |
| 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: | 405°F |
| Autoignition Temperature: | 250 °C |
| Explosion Limits: | no data |
| Extinguishing Medium: | Water spray, carbon dioxide, sand. |
| Special Fire Fighting Procedures: | If this product is involved in a fire, fire fighters must be equipped with a NIOSH approved positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus. |
| Hazardous Combustion and Decomposion Products: | Sulfur burns to sulfur dioxide, a choking gas. |
| Unusual Fire or Explosion Hazards: | Combustible solid. Dust may form explosive mixtures with air. |
| SECTION 6: Accidental Release Measures | |
|---|---|
| Spill and Leak Procedures: | Small spills can be mixed with vermiculite, ground limestone, or soda ash, and swept up. Avoid dust and sparks. |
| SECTION 7: Handling and Storage | |
|---|---|
| Handling and Storage: | Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool dry place away from oxidizing agents. Use good housekeeping practice to avoid accumulation of spilled dust and so avoid the resulting fire hazard. |
| 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: | Material may form a fine dust. If possible, handle the material in an efficient fume hood. |
| Respirator: | If 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. |
