| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | Inhalation of fine dust may cause irritation to respiratory system, skin and eyes. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Ingestion, inhalation, skin and eyes. |
| Eye Contact: | May cause moderate irritation to the eyes. |
| Skin Contact: | May cause mild irritation to the skin |
| Inhalation: | Inhalation of dust may cause irritating to nose, mucous membranes, and respiratory tract. |
| Ingestion: | Reacts slowly with body fluids to produce explosive hydrogen gas. |
| 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: | (For titanium metal) 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: | not applicable |
| Autoignition Temperature: | 225°C C |
| Explosion Limits: | no data |
| Extinguishing Medium: | Class D metal fire agent, limestone, or sand. NOT WATER. |
| Special Fire Fighting Procedures: | 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, burning hydride may produce irritating fumes. |
| Unusual Fire or Explosion Hazards: | Flammable solid. Dust may form explosive mixtures with air. Evolves flammable hydrogen with water. |
| 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 in argon in a cool dry place. Handle in 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. Consult with glove manufacturer to determine the proper type of glove. |
| 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. |
