3. Hazards Identification
Emergency
Overview
--------------------------
CAUTION! MAY BE HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED. MAY CAUSE IRRITATION TO SKIN, EYES, AND
RESPIRATORY TRACT.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Potential Health Effects
----------------------------------
Inhalation: Inhalation of high concentrations of
dust may cause nasal or lung irritation.
Ingestion: In large quantities can produce gastrointestinal irritation and vomiting. May
produce weakness and circulatory problems. May affect heart. In severe cases,
ingestion may be fatal.
Skin Contact:
Contact may cause irritation or rash, particularly with moist skin.
Eye Contact:
It is moderate eye irritant. Redness, tearing, possible abrasion
can occur.
Chronic Exposure:
No information found.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:
Persons with impaired kidney function may be more susceptible to the effects of
the substance.
4. First Aid Measures
Inhalation:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give
artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical
attention.
Ingestion: Induce vomiting immediately as directed by medical personnel. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a physician.
Skin Contact:
Wash with soap and water. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Get
medical attention if irritation develops. Cold water may be used.
Eye Contact:
Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately
flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Cold water may be
used. Get medical attention.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Fire:
It is not considered to be a fire hazard.
Explosion:
It is not considered to be an explosion hazard.
Fire Extinguishing Media: Use any means suitable for extinguishing surrounding fire over Potassium
Chloride.
Special Information:
In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved
self-contained breathing apparatus with full face piece operated in the pressure
demand or other positive pressure mode.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Spills: Pick up and place in a suitable container for reclamation or disposal, using a method that does not generate dust.
7. Handling and Storage
Small Spill: Use appropriate tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by
spreading water on the contaminated surface and dispose of according to local and regional authority
requirements.
Large Spill: Use a shovel to put the material into a convenient waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by spreading water
on the contaminated surface and allow to evacuate through the sanitary system.
8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Airborne
Exposure Limits:
None established.
Ventilation System: A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee
exposures as low as possible. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred
because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source,
preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Please refer to the
ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices,
most recent edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):
For conditions of use where exposure to dust or mist is apparent and engineering
controls are not feasible, a particulate respirator (NIOSH type N95 or better
filters) may be worn. If oil particles (e.g. lubricants, cutting fluids,
glycerin, etc.) are present, use a NIOSH type R or P filter. For emergencies or
instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-face
positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air-purifying respirators
do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Skin Protection:
Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing.
Eye Protection:
Use chemical safety goggles and/or full face shield where dusting or splashing
of solutions is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities
in work area.
