Section 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
May cause sensitization by inhalation and skin contact. Contact with combustible material may cause fire.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation.
Skin:
May cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material.
Ingestion:
Methemoglobinemia is characterized by dizziness, drowsiness, headache, shortness of breath, cyanosis (bluish discoloration of skin due to deficient oxygenation of the blood), rapid heart rate and chocolate-brown colored blood. This product contains nitrite which may cause methemoglobinemia.
Inhalation:
May cause allergic respiratory reaction. May cause effects similar to those described for ingestion. Numerous studies have linked pulmonary effects with exposure to cobalt and its compounds.
Exposure at 0.1 mg/m3 or less of cobalt metal and inorganic compounds of cobalt caused asthma and changes in pulmonary function.
Chronic:
Chronic inhalation and ingestion may cause effects similar to those of acute inhalation and ingestion. Cobalt compounds may cause cancer based upon animal studies. May cause cyanosis - a blue-gray coloring of the skin and lips caused by a lack of oxygen.
May cause sensitization by inhalation and skin contact. Contact with combustible material may cause fire.

Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid immediately.
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Ingestion:
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid immediately. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse mouth and drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do not use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation if victim ingested or inhaled the substance; induce artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device.
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. Strong oxidizer. Contact with other material may cause fire. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion.
Extinguishing Media:
Use extinguishing media most appropriate for the surrounding fire.

Section 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Sweep up, then place into a suitable container for disposal. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Provide ventilation. Do not use combustible materials such as paper towels to clean up spill. Keep combustibles (wood, paper, oil, etc.,) away from spilled material.

Section 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep from contact with clothing and other combustible materials. Do not breathe dust. Use only with adequate ventilation. Inform laundry personnel of contaminants hazards.
Storage:
Do not store near combustible materials. Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Avoid storage on wood floors.
