LD50 LC50 Mixture:NOT PROVIDED
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE: IN BOTH
LIQUID AND VAPOR FORM IT SERIOUSLY BURNS TISSUE ON CONTACT. A TOXIC
GAS, VERY IRRITATING TO THE EYES AND RESPIRATORY TRACT.
LACHRYMATION OCCURS AT LESS THAN 1 PART PER MILLION AND
RESPIRATORY DAMAGE OCCURS AT 10 PPM. IRRITATING EFFECT SO GREAT
THAT NO ONE WOULD VOLUNTARILY REMAIN IN ITS PRESENCE. INGESTION OF
SOLUTION MAY CAUSE SEVERE GASTROENTERITIS AND DEATH.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE
Effects of Overexposure:IN BOTH LIQUID AND VAPOR FORM IT SERIOUSLY
BURNS TISSUE ON CONTACT. VERY IRRITATING TO THE EYES AND
RESPIRATORY TRACT. LACHRYMATION OCCURS AT LESS THAN 1 PART PER
MILLION. INGESTION OF SOLUTION MAY CA USE SEVERE GASTROENTERITIS
AND DEATH.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NOT PROVIDED

First Aid:SKIN: FLUSH WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. REMOVE
CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. EYE: FLUSH THOROUGHLY
WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST 30 MINUTES, LIFTING UPPER AND LOWER EYELIDS
OCCASIONA LLY. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. INHALATION: REMOVE
TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF
BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION.
INGESTION: IF SWALL OWED, DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. IF CONSCIOUS,
GIVE SEVERAL GLASSES OF WATER OR MILK TO DRINK. GET IMMEDIATE
MEDICAL ATTENTION. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING MY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS
PERSON.

Flash Point:NON-FLAMMABLE
Extinguishing Media:USE ANY MEDIA SUITABLE FOR EXTINGUISHING SUPPORTING
FIRE. USE LARGE AMOUNT OF WATER TO COOL CONTAINER AND WASH AWAY
SPILLS.
Fire Fighting Procedures:THIS MATERIAL IS HIGHLY CORROSIVE. WHEN
HEATED, EMITS HIGHLY TOXIC FUMES. IN FIRE CONDITIONS, WEAR A
NIOSH/MSHA-APPROVED SELF CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS AND FULL
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING. HYPO SOLUTION (SODIUM THIOSULFATE) OR
LIMEWATER SHOULD BE POURED OVER SMALL SPILLS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:MAY IGNITE A COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL UPON
CONTACT. A VERY POWERFUL OXIDIZER. FIRE OR HEAT WILL LIBERATE
HAZARDOUS BROMINE FROM SOLUTION.

Spill Release Procedures:COVER WITH A REDUCER (HYPO, A SUSFFITE, OR A
FERROUS SALT, BUT NOT CARBON, SULFUR OR STRONG REDUCING AGENTS).
MIX WELL AND SPRAY WITH WATER. A SULFITE OR A FERROUS SALT WILL
REQUIRE ADDITION OF SOME 3 MOLAR-SULFURIC ACID TO PROMOTE RAPID
REDUCTION.
Neutralizing Agent:NOT PROVIDED

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN A COOL, DRY AREA, OUT OF
DIRECT SUNLIGHT. SEPARATE FROM COMBUSTIBLE, ORGANIC OR OTHER
READILY OXIDIZABLE MATERIALS. KEEP ABOVE 32F (0C) TO PREVENT
FREEZING BUT AVOID HEATING ABOVE ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE; VAPOR
PRESSURE BREAKS CONTAINER. KEEP CONTAINER TIGHTLY CLOSED WHEN NOT
IN USE.
Other Precautions:AVOID CONTACT WITH SKIN, EYES AND CLOTHING. DO NOT
BREATHE VAPOR. USE WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION. IMMEDIATELY REMOVE
AND WASH CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. DISCARD CONTAMINATED SHOES. WASH
THOROUGHLY AFTER HA NDLING. FOR LABORATORY USE ONLY. NOT FOR DRUG,
FOOD, OR HOUSEHOLD USE. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN .

Respiratory Protection:WORK IN VENTILATION HOOD OR WEAR A
NIOSH/MSHA-APPROVED RESPIRATOR WITH ORGANIC VAPOR AND ACID GASES
CANISTER OR A SELF CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS.
Ventilation:LOCAL EXHAUST: YES. MECHANICAL (GENERAL): YES. OTHER:
ADEQUATE TO MAINTAIN BELOW EXPOSURE LIMIT
Protective Gloves:RUBBER
Eye Protection:SPLASH PROOF GOGGLES
Other Protective Equipment:GOGGLES AND SHIELD, LAB COAT AND APRON,
VENTILATION HOOD, PROPER GLOVES, EYE WASH STATION.
