First Aid Measures

Ingestion
Seek medical assistance.
Inhalation
Move victim to fresh air. Apply artificial respiration if victim is not breathing. Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim ingested or inhaled the substance; induce artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device. Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult.
Skin
Remove and isolate contaminated clothing and shoes. Immediately flush with running water for at least 20 minutes. For minor skin contact, avoid spreading material on unaffected skin.
Eyes
Immediately flush with running water for at least 20 minutes.

Handling and Storage

Storage
Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
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

Ingestion
Blue lips, fingernails and skin. Dizziness, headache, labored breathing.
Inhalation
Blue lips, fingernails and skin. Dizziness, headache. Irritates the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. May cause effects on the blood, resulting in formation of methaemoglobin. Effects may be delayed.
Skin
Redness. BLue lips, fingernails or skin. See inhalation. May be absorbed through the skin.
Eyes
Redness
Hazards
Containers may explode when heated.

Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Personal Protection
Protective clothing. Safety goggles.
Respirators
Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).

Fire Fighting Measures

Fire Fighting
Small Fires: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide or water spray. Large Fires: Water spray, fog or regular foam.
Fire Potential
Combustible material: may burn but does not ignite readily.

Accidental Release Measures

Small spills/leaks
Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Cover with plastic sheet to prevent spreading. Absorb or cover with dry earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers. DO NOT GET WATER INSIDE CONTAINERS.

Stability and Reactivity

Incompatibilities
Can react vigorously with oxidizing materials.
Stability
Stable under normal temperatures and pressures.
Decomposition
On contact with hot surfaces or flames this substance decomposes forming toxic and corrosive fumes of nitrogen oxides and HCl.
Combustion Products
Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases.
