This material is highly toxic orally in humans. Long term overexposure may cause susceptibility to bruising, longer blod clotting times, blood in the stool and urine. Blotches on the skin.
Skin
See inhalation.
Eyes
See inhalation
Ingestion
See inhalation.
Hazards
When heated to decomposition, it emits toxic fumes of sodium oxide.

Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Personal Protection
Use safety glasses and full face shield, Neoprene or Tyvek gloves, apron, boots and/or whole body suit.
Respirators
Wear NIOSH/<SHA pproved air purifying respirator/positive pressure air-supplied respirator.
Exposure Effects
Warfarin has been established as a human teratogen, because it causes birth defects in the offspring of women receiving clinical doses of the compound during any trimester of pregnancy.

Fire Fighting Measures

Fire Fighting
Keep unnecessary people away; isolate hazard area and deny entry. Stay upwind; keep out of low areas. Ventilate closed spaces before entering them. Wear positive pressure breathing apparatus and special protective clothing. Remove and isolate contaminated clothing at the site. Move container from fire area if you can do it without risk. Fight fire from maximum distance. Dike fire control water for later disposal; do not scatter the material. Extinguish fires with dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray, fog, or foam.

Accidental Release Measures

Small spills/leaks
Do not touch spilled material; stop leak if you can do it without risk. Use water spray to reduce vapors. For small spills, take up with sand or other noncombustible absorbent material and place into containers for later disposal. For small dry spills, with clean shovel place material into clean, dry container and cover; move containers from spill area. For large spills, dike far ahead of spill for later disposal.

Stability and Reactivity

Stability
Contact with strong oxidizers may cause fires and explosions.
