Physical and Chemical Properties

Appearance
Yellow powder.
Usage
Catalyst, in fireproofing of synthetic fibers, in corrosion-preventing pigments, hematinic agent.

First Aid Measures

Ingestion
Wash mouth out with water provided person is concous. Seek medical assistance.
Inhalation
Remove to fresh air. If breathing becomse difficult, seek medical aid.
Skin
Flush with copious amounts of water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes.
Eyes
FLush with water for at least 15 minutes.

Handling and Storage

Storage
Keep in a cool, dry, dark location in a tightly sealed container or cylinder. Keep away from incompatible materials, ignition sources and untrained individuals. Secure and label area. Protect containers/cylinders from physical damage.
Handling
All chemicals should be considered hazardous. Avoid direct physical contact. Use appropriate, approved safety equipment. Untrained individuals should not handle this chemical or its container. Handling should occur in a chemical fume hood.

Hazards Identification

Inhalation
Noncardiogenic pulmonary edema may develop with severe intoxication.
Skin
Severe thermal burn with ferrous sulfate slurry has caused classical symptoms of ingested iron poisoning.
Eyes
May cause irritation.
Ingestion
Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and gastrointestinal hemorrhage may develop.

Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Personal Protection
Chemical resistant gloves, ANSI approved goggles and protective clothing.
Respirators
Use NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator appropriate for exposure of concern.
Exposure Effects
Blood pressure may be decreased following an iron overdose. Lethargy, restlessness or confusion may be seen early in the poisoning. Convulsions and coma may occur in later phases. Case reports of pregnant women who have received early aggressive treatment (decontamination and/or deferoxamine) have described good fetal outcomes.

Fire Fighting Measures

Fire Fighting
Extinguish fire with water spray, carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder or appropriate foam. Use NIOSH approved SCBA and protective clthing.

Accidental Release Measures

Small spills/leaks
While wearing protective equipment, sweep up and place in a bag. Store for later disposal. Avoid dust generation.

Stability and Reactivity

Stability
Stable at normal temperatures and pressures.
Decomposition
Oxides of carbon and phosphorus.
Combustion Products
Emits toxic fumes under fire conditions.
