Section 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Toxic by inhalation and in contact with skin. Very toxic if swallowed. Causes burns. May cause sensitization by skin contact.The toxicological properties of this material have not been fully investigated.Lachrymator (substance which increases the flow of tears).Corrosive.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye burns. Lachrymator (substance which increases the flow of tears). May cause corneal edema and inflammation.
Skin:
Causes skin burns. Toxic in contact with skin. Skin contact may cause an allergic skin reaction (sensitization) in a small proportion of individuals.
Ingestion:
May be fatal if swallowed. May cause burns to the digestive tract.
May cause nausea and vomiting.
Inhalation:
Irritation may lead to chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary edema.
Toxic if inhaled. Causes respiratory tract irritation with possible burns.
Chronic:
Laboratory experiments have resulted in mutagenic effects.

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. Do NOT allow victim to rub eyes or keep eyes closed.
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Discard contaminated clothing in a manner which limits further exposure.
Ingestion:
POISON material. If swallowed, get medical aid immediately. Only induce vomiting if directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
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:

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. Dusts at sufficient concentrations can form explosive mixtures with air. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion.
Will burn if involved in a fire.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or appropriate foam.
