TYPES OF
HAZARD / EXPOSURE |
ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING |
| FIRE |
Combustible. Heating will cause rise in pressure with risk of bursting. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire.
|
NO open flames.
|
Powder, carbon dioxide.
|
| EXPLOSION |
|
|
In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.

| EXPOSURE |
|
STRICT HYGIENE!
|
IN ALL CASES CONSULT A DOCTOR!
|
| Inhalation |
Shortness of breath.
|
Avoid inhalation of fine dust and mist. Local exhaust or breathing protection.
|
Fresh air, rest. Half-upright position. Artificial respiration if indicated. Refer for medical attention.
|
| Skin |
MAY BE ABSORBED! Redness.
|
Protective gloves. Protective clothing.
|
Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. Refer for medical attention.
|
| Eyes |
|
Safety goggles or eye protection in combination with breathing protection if powder.
|
First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor.
|
| Ingestion |
Convulsions. Cough. Laboured breathing. Shortness of breath.
|
Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.
|
Rinse mouth. Give a slurry of activated charcoal in water to drink. Induce vomiting (ONLY IN CONSCIOUS PERSONS!). Give plenty of water to drink. Refer for medical attention.
|
| SPILLAGE DISPOSAL | PACKAGING & LABELLING |
Sweep spilled substance into sealable containers; if appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Carefully collect remainder, then remove to safe place (extra personal protection: complete protective clothing including self-contained breathing apparatus).
|
UN Hazard Class: 6.1
Unbreakable packaging; put breakable packaging into closed unbreakable container. Do not transport with food and feedstuffs. |
| EMERGENCY RESPONSE | STORAGE |
|
Separated from food and feedstuffs. Cool. Keep under inert gas.
|
| IMPORTANT DATA | |
|
PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE:
BRIGHT YELLOW CRYSTALS. CHEMICAL DANGERS: The substance decomposes on heating producing toxic and corrosive fumes. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS: TLV (as Mn): ppm; 0.1 mg/m 3 (as TWA) (skin) (ACGIH 1994-1995). |
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its vapour, through the skin and by ingestion. INHALATION RISK: A harmful contamination of the air can be reached rather quickly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C. EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE: The substance irritates the skin. The substance may cause effects on the lungs and nervous system , resulting in lung oedema and convulsions. EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE: The substance may have effects on the lungs and nervous system. |
| PHYSICAL PROPERTIES | |
|
Sublimation point: 75-77°C
Solubility in water: poor |
|
| ENVIRONMENTAL DATA | |
|
|
| NOTES | |
|
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 are therefore essential. Immediate administration of an appropriate spray, by a doctor or a person authorized by him/her, should be considered. Insufficient data are available on the effect of this substance on human health, therefore utmost care must be taken. Do NOT take working clothes home.
