Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES IARC:YES OSHA:YES
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:SHORT TERM EXPOSURE (ACUTE):
INHALATION: INHALATION OF DUST OR MIST MAY CAUSE SEVERE IRRITATION
OF NASAL SEPTUM AND RESPIRATORY TRACT. MAY CAUSE KIDNEY AND LIVER
DAMAGE. EYES: CONTACT CAN CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE INCLUDING BURNS AND
BLINDNESS. SKIN: CONTACT CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS. CONTACT WITH
BROKEN SKIN MAY LEAD TO FORMATION OF FIRMLY MARGINATED "CHROME
SORES". MAY CAUSE ALLERGIC CONTACT DERMATITIS. DERMAL ABSORPTION
OF LARGE AMOUNTS MAY RESULT IN KIDNEY FAILURE AND DEATH. INGESTION:
CAN CAUSE SEVERE TISSUE DESTRUCTION. KIDNEY FAILURE MAY FOLLOW AND
RESULT IN DEATH. MAY CAUSE LIVER DAMAGE. SEE T OXICOLOGICAL FIELD
FOR CHRONIC EXPOSURE.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NTP AND IARC DETERMINED THERE IS
SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE FOR CARCINOGENICITY OF HEXAVALENT CHROMIUM
COMPOUNDS IN HUMANS AND EXPERIMENTAL ANIMALS. HOWEVER, HEXAVALENT
CHROMIUM COMOUNDS RESPONSIBLE (FOR HUM AN CARCINOGENICITY) CANNOT
BE SPECIFIED. SODIUM BICHROMATE CONTAINS HEXAVALENT
CHROMIUM,CLASSIFIED AS IARC (GROUP I) CARCINOGEN, AND KNOWN
CARCINOGEN BY NTP.
Effects of Overexposure:SEVERE IRRITATION OF NASAL SEPTUM AND
RESPIRATORY TRACT, KIDNEY AND LIVER DAMAGE, REPIRATORY TRACT
CANCER, SEVERE EYE DAMAGE INCLUDING BURNS AND BLINDNESS,
CONJUNCTIVITIS, SEVERE SKIN BURNS, "CHROME S ORES" ON SKIN
(ESPECIALLY BROKEN SKIN), CONTACT DRMATITIS, KIDNEY FAILURE, DEATH,
ULCERATION AND PERFORATION OF NASAL SEPTUM. INCREASES IN
RESPIRATORY TRACT CANCER IN MAN.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PRE-EXISTING DISORDERS AFFECTING
TARGET ORGANS.

First Aid

First Aid:EYES: FLUSH WITH WATER FOR 15 MINUTES, HOLD LIDS APART TO
ENSURE COMPLETE IRRIGATION. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN: FLUSH
EXPOSED AREAS WITH WATER. REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. WASH
CONTAMINATED AREAS WITH SOAP AND WATER. WASH CLOTHING BEFORE
REUSE. DISCARD SHOES IF NOT ABLE TO DECONTAMINATE. GET MEDICAL
ATTENTION. INHALATION: MOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF BREATHING IS
DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN. IF NOT BREAT HING GIVE ARTIFICIAL
RESPIRATION. IF CONSCIOUS, IRRIGATE NASAL PASSAGES AND MOUTH WITH
WATER. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. IF
CONSCIOUS GIVE LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER OR MILK . GET MEDICAL
ATTENTION.

WHEN EXPOSURE IS P OSSIBLE. WASH CONTAMINATED CLOTHING BEFORE
REUSE. WASH THOROUGHLY WITH SOAP AND WATER AFTER HANDLING .

Exposure Controls

Respiratory Protection:WEAR A NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED RESPIRATOR FOLLOWING
MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDATIONS, WHERE DUSTS, MISTS, FUMES OR VAPORS
MAY OCCUR.
Ventilation:WORK AREA SHOULD BE ISOLATED AND CONTAINED AND PROVIDED
WITH ADEQUATE LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION OR OTHER CONTROLS WHERE
DUST OR FUMES MAY BE GENERATED.
Protective Gloves:WEAR CHEMICAL RESISTANT GLOVES SUCH AS PVC OR
NITRILE.
Eye Protection:WEAR CHEMICAL SAFETY GOGGLES PLUS FULL FACE SHIELD TO
PROTECT AGAINST SPLASHING
Other Protective Equipment:PROTECTIVE CLOTHING SHOULD BE WORN AND
CHANGED AT LEAST DAILY. WASH CONTAMINATED CLOTHING WITH SOAP AND
WATER AND DRY BEFORE REUSE. ADVISE THE LAUNDRY OF THE MATERIAL
CONTAMINATING THE CLOTHING.
Work Hygienic Practices:EMERGENCY SHOWER AND EYEWASH FACILITY SHOULD BE
IN CLOSE PROXIMITY (ANSI Z358.1).
Supplemental Safety and Health
CERTAIN PROCESSES LIKE CHROME PIGMENT PRODUCTION, HIGH TEMPERATURE
WELDING OR CUTTING MAY FORM MATERIALS MORE HAZARDOUS TO HUMANS THAN
THIS PRODUCT ENGINEERING CONTROLS AND LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION I S
REQUIRED TO ENSURE THAT WORKER EXPOSURE IS BELOW CURRENT PEL.
