Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:CHRONIC: DERMATITIS. POSSIBLE
RESPIRATORY EFFECTS FROM EXCESSIVE INHALATION OF MISTS.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, NITRITES MAY
REACT WITH SECONDARY AMINES TO FORM CARCINOGENIC NITROSAMINES.
Effects of Overexposure:ACUTE: AS MANY STRONG ALKALINE LIQUID, MAY
CAUSE EYE BURNS, POSSIBLE PERMANENT DAMAGE, EVEN BLINDNESS. SKIN:
PROLONGED CONTACT WITH CONCENTRATED LIQUID MAY CAUSE BURNS WHICH
ARE NOT IMMEDIATELY PAINFU L OR VISIBLE. INHALATION OF MISTS MAY
CAUSE NOSE AND RESPIRATORY IRRITATION; POSSIBLE TISSUE DAMAGE;
POSSIBLE HEADACHE, NAUSEA, OR DIZZINESS. INGESTION: NAUSEA,
VOMITING, DIARRHEA; MAY CAUSE BURNS TO MUCOUS MEMBRANES OF MOUTH,
THROAT AND DIGESTIVE TRACT; MODERATELY TOXIC; SODIUM NITRITE ORAL
LD50(RAT) 85 MG/KG. CHRONIC: DERMATITIS; POSSIBLE EFFECTS FROM
EXCESSIVE INHALATION.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PRE-EXISTING SKIN AND RESPIRATORY
DISORDERS.

First Aid:EYES: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15
MINS WHILE HOLDING EYELIDS OPEN TO ENSURE COMPLETE RINSING.
PROMPTLY REMOVE CONTACT LENSES IF WORN. SKIN: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH
WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINS. INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR.
IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. OXYGEN SHOULD BE
ADMINISTERED BY TRAINED PERSONNEL. INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE
VOMITING! GIVE A GLASS OF WATER OR MILK TO DILUTE. NEVER GIVE
ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON. IN ALL CASES, SEEK
IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION!

Fire Fighting Procedures:CORROSIVE MATERIAL; AVOID EXPOSURE TO MISTS
AND SPLASHES. AS IN ANY FIRE, WEAR SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING
APPARATUS, AND FULL PROTECTIVE GEAR. COOL EXPOSED CONTAINERS WITH
WATER SPRAY TO PREVENT PRESS URE BUILDUP.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:AS ANY STRONG ALKALINE SOLUTION, CAN
REACT WITH ALUMINUM, ZINC OR OTHER "SOFT" METALS, GENERATING
HYDROGEN. THIS GAS IS FLAMMABLE AND/OR EXPLOSIVE IN THE PRESENCE
OF AN IGNITION SOURCE. IF EVAPORATE D TO DRYNESS, AS IN A FIRE,
RESIDUES MAY INCREASE INTENSITY OF A FIRE BY RELEASING OXYGEN.

Spill Release Procedures:SMALL: FLUSH DOWN DRAIN WITH WATER OR MOP UP.
LARGE: CLEANUP PERSONNEL SHOULD WEAR APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT. DIKE TO PREVENT RUNOFF. RECLAIM AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
ABSORB REMAINDER WITH INER T MATERIAL AND PLACE IN SUITABLE
CONTAINERS FOR DISPOSAL. FLUSH RESIDUE WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF
WATER.
