EXPLOSION			In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.

EXPOSURE		PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST!
Inhalation	see Ingestion.	Ventilation, local exhaust, or breathing protection.	Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
Skin	Redness. Pain.	Protective gloves.	Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. Refer for medical attention.
Eyes	Redness.	Safety goggles or eye protection in combination with breathing protection.	First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor.
Ingestion	Blue lips or finger nails. Blue skin. Confusion. Dizziness. Headache. Nausea.	Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.	Rinse mouth. Give a slurry of activated charcoal in water to drink. Refer for medical attention.

IMPORTANT DATA

Physical State; Appearance
WHITE TO BROWN HYGROSCOPIC CRYSTALS

Chemical dangers
The substance decomposes on heating producing corrosive fumes. The substance is a weak acid. Attacks many metals forming flammable/explosive gas (hydrogen - see ICSC 0001).

Occupational exposure limits
TLV not established.

Routes of exposure
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol

Inhalation risk
A harmful concentration of airborne particles can be reached quicklywhen dispersed

Effects of short-term exposure
The substance is irritating to the skin. The substance may cause effects on the blood, resulting in the formation of methaemoglobin. Inhalation may cause lung oedema (see Notes).

Effects of long-term or repeated exposure
Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES	ENVIRONMENTAL DATA
Decomposes below boiling point at 57°C Melting point (decomposes): 57°C Relative density (water = 1): 1.9 Solubility in water, g/100 ml: (good)	The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms.

NOTES

Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is suggested.
The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort. Rest and medical observation is therefore essential.
Specific treatment is necessary in case of poisoning with this substance; the appropriate means with instructions must be available.
