EMERGENCY OVERVIEW

Appearance: white powder.
Warning! This substance has caused adverse reproductive and fetal effects in humans. May cause eye and skin irritation. May cause respiratory and digestive tract irritation. May be harmful if swallowed. May cause liver and kidney damage. May cause sensitization by inhalation and by skin contact. The toxicological properties of this material have not been fully investigated. Possible sensitizer.
Target Organs: Blood, kidneys, liver, respiratory system, reproductive system, skin, nerves.

Potential Health Effects
Eye: May cause eye irritation.
Skin: May cause skin irritation. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material.
Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed. May cause irritation of the digestive tract. May cause liver and kidney damage. The toxicological properties of this substance have not been fully investigated. Exposure may cause thrombocytopenia which is a decreased number of blood platelets. ause behavioral changes such as hallucinations and distorted perceptions. (RTECS)
Inhalation: May cause respiratory tract irritation. The toxicological properties of this substance have not been fully investigated.
Chronic: May cause liver and kidney damage. Adverse reproductive effects have been reported in humans. Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause sensitization in certain sensitive individuals.

Section 4 - First Aid Measures

Eyes: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
Skin: Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion: Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse mouth and drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Wash mouth out with water.
Inhalation: Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If breathing has ceased apply artificial respiration using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device such as a bag and a mask.
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.

Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures

General Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion.
