Section 3: HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Yellowish crystals and pieces. Odorless. Harmful in contact with skin and if swallowed.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
Inhalation: Dust can irritate the nose and throat, causing sore throat, coughing, and
difficulty breathing.
Skin Contact: Exposure may cause skin irritation, especially after prolonged exposure.
Eye Contact: Dust can cause eye irritation.
Ingestion: Corrosive. May cause sore throat, abdominal pain, nausea, and severe burns of
the mouth, throat, and stomach. Severe exposures can lead to shock, circulatory collapse,
and death.
Long Term or Repeated Exposure: No data found.
Aggravated Medical Condition: Persons with pre-existing skin disorders, eye problems, or
respiratory function may be more susceptible to the effects of the substance.
Carcinogenicity: None

POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
No data found.
Section 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation: Remove source of contamination or move victim to fresh air.
Eye Contact: Immediately flush the contaminated eye(s) with lukewarm, gently flowing
water for 20 minutes, by the clock, holding the eyelid(s) open. Take care not to rinse
contaminated water into the non-affected eye. If irritation persists, obtain medical attention
immediately.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, shoes, and leather goods (e.g. watchbands,
belts). As quickly as possible, flush contaminated area with plenty lukewarm, gently flowing
water for at least 10, by the clock. If irritation persists, obtain medical attention immediately.
Completely decontaminate clothing, shoes, and leather goods before reuse or discard.
Ingestion: NEVER give anything by mouth if victim is rapidly losing consciousness, or is
unconscious or convulsing. Have victim rinse mouth thoroughly with water. DO NOT
INDUCE VOMITING. Have victim drink 240 to 300 mL (8 to 10 oz.) of water. If vomiting
occurs naturally, rinse mouth and repeat administration of water. If breathing has stopped,
trained personnel should begin artificial respiration or, if the heart has stopped,
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) immediately. Transport victim to an emergency facility
immediately.
Additional treatment: Do not delay medical attention to give additional first aid, but the
following procedure may be helpful if materials are readily available. If victim is conscious
give immediately, by mouth, a few glasses of milk or a dilute solution of any soluble calcium
salt: calcium lactate, lime water, finely pulverized chalk or plaster. Large amounts of calcium
are required to inactivate oxalate by precipitating it as the insoluble calcium oxalate salt. DO
NOT INDUCE VOMITING.
Section 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point: Not Applicable
Explosive Limits: Lower: Not Applicable
Upper: Not Applicable
Extinguishing Media: Use any means suitable for surrounding fire.
Protection of Firefighters: Wear full fire-fighting turnout gear (full Bunker gear), and
respiratory protection (SCBA). Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers and to
protect personnel.
Fire and Explosion Hazards: Product is not considered to be an explosion hazard.
However, contact with most metals causes formation of flammable and explosive hydrogen
gas.
Combustion and Thermal Decomposition Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide,
and formic acid. Fumes may be highly toxic and irritating.
Section 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Spill: Sweep or shovel spilled substance into clean, dry, labeled containers and cover.
Wash away remainder with plenty of water.

Section 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling: Use dust-tight containers. Prevent accumulations of dust. Prevent release of
mists or dusts into workplace air. Label containers. Keep containers closed when not in
use. Empty containers may contain residues which are hazardous.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, out of direct sunlight. Separate from
oxidizing materials, strong bases, and alkali metals.
Section 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls: Use general or local exhaust ventilation to keep dust below
exposure limits.
Respiratory Protection: Not necessary for normal use.
Skin Protection: Wear chemical-resistant gloves and clothing to prevent skin contact.
Eye/face Protection: Wear chemical splash goggles and/or a full face shield.
General Hygiene Considerations: Do not eat drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands
frequently, before breaks, and after use.
