Section 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Toxic if swallowed. Danger of cumulative effects. Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin.Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the air).
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Contact produces irritation, tearing, and burning pain. May cause conjunctivitis.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. Causes gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Vanadium compounds can cause polycythemia (an increase in the total red cell mass of the blood), followed by red blood cell destruction, anemia, loss of appetite, pallor, and emaciation. May cause greenish-black tongue discoloration due to deposition of vanadium salts.
Inhalation:
May be fatal if inhaled. Causes upper respiratory tract irritation.
Causes irritation of the mucous membrane. Inhalation may cause sore throat, shortness of breath, labored breathing, coughing, and pulmonary edema.
Chronic:
Repeated exposure may cause sensitization dermatitis. Chronic exposure may cause a greenish tongue, metallic taste, cough, chronic bronchitis, and emphysema. Material is a potent enzyme inhibitor.
Effects may be delayed. Laboratory experiments have resulted in mutagenic effects. May produce scattered allergy-like eczematous skin lesions symptomatic of vanadium toxicity.

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.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
Call a poison control center. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid.
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 breathing has ceased apply artificial respiration using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device such as a bag and a mask.
Notes to Physician:
Green coloration of the tongue, resulting from the deposition of vanadium salts is an indicator of exposure; however, may be absent even in prolonged exposure.. Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Effects may be delayed.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Wash clothing before reuse.

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. This material in sufficient quantity and reduced particle size is capable of creating a dust explosion. Contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen gas.
Extinguishing Media:
Substance is noncombustible; use agent most appropriate to extinguish surrounding fire.

Section 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal container. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to waterways. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Use water spray to disperse the gas/vapor. Provide ventilation.

Section 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Do not breathe dust, vapor, mist, or gas. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Do not ingest or inhale.
Use only in a chemical fume hood.
Storage:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Do not store near combustible materials. Keep container closed when not in use. Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Store protected from moisture.
