	ACUTE HAZARDS	PREVENTION	FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE & EXPLOSION	Combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. Finely dispersed particles form explosive mixtures in air.	NO open flames. PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST. Closed system, dust explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting.	Use water spray, dry powder, foam, carbon dioxide.

AVOID ALL CONTACT!
	SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID
Inhalation		Use local exhaust or breathing protection.	Fresh air, rest.
Skin		Protective gloves. Protective clothing.	Wear protective gloves when administering first aid. Remove contaminated clothes. See Notes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
Eyes	Redness.	Wear safety goggles.	First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
Ingestion		Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.	Rinse mouth.

SPILLAGE DISPOSAL	CLASSIFICATION & LABELLING
Personal protection: face shield and particulate filter respirator adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Sweep spilled substance into covered sealable containers. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Carefully collect remainder. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.	According to UN GHS Criteria May cause an allergic skin reaction May cause cancer Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects Transportation UN Classification UN Hazard Class: 9; UN Pack Group: III
STORAGE
Store only in original container. Separated from acids and oxidizing materials. Store in an area without drain or sewer access. Provision to contain effluent from fire extinguishing.

PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL INFORMATION
Physical State; Appearance CRYSTALS WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR. Physical dangers Dust explosion possible if in powder or granular form, mixed with air. Chemical dangers Decomposes on burning. This produces toxic and corrosive gases including carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides. Reacts with acids and oxidizing substances. This produces toxic and corrosive gases including carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides and hydrogen sulfide.	Formula: C₇H₅NS₂ / C₆H₄SNCSH Molecular mass: 167.3 Melting point: 180-182°C Density: 1.42 g/cm³ Solubility in water, g/100ml at 20°C: 0.01 (very poor) Flash point: 243°C Auto-ignition temperature: 628°C Explosive limits, vol% in air: 15-? Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 2.41
