SECTION 3: Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview: This material reacts with water to form hydrochloric acid. Corrosive to skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. The element germanium is considered to contribute low toxicity to its compounds.
Primary Routes of Exposure: Ingestion, inhalation, skin, and eyes.
Eye Contact: Causes burns to the eyes. may cause blindness.
Skin Contact: Causes burns to the skin.
Inhalation: Inhalation of vapor will cause burning sensation, spasms, coughing, headache, chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary edema.
Ingestion: Corrosive to mouth throat and stomach. May cause dizziness, nausea, vomiting, pain and stomach upset.
Acute Health Effects: Inhalation of vapor will cause chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary edema. Contact of liquid or vapor with skin and eyes may cause burns.
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: 145°F
Autoignition Temperature: no data
Explosion Limits: no data
Extinguishing Medium: dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water, or foam.
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 this material may emit toxic and corrosive fumes.
Unusual Fire or Explosion Hazards: No unusual fire or explosion hazards.
SECTION 6: Accidental Release Measures
Spill and Leak Procedures: Spilled liquid will evaporate and hydrolyze in moist air to form corrosive hydrogen chloride vapor. If equipped with a self contained breathing apparatus, spills may be either flooded with water, or adsorbed into powdered sodium bicarbonate or limestone and swept up.
SECTION 7: Handling and Storage
Handling and Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Keep containers tightly sealed. Inspect plastic bottle caps periodically and replace if leaks develop.
SECTION 8: Exposure Controls and Personal Protection
Eye Protection: Always wear safety glasses. If pouring or transferring this substance wear a face shield for additional protection.
