    EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
    ------------------------------
    WARNING! Causes eye irritation.

    Health Rating: 1 - slight

    Reactivity Rating: 0 - none
    Contact Rating: 1 - slight
    Lab Protective Equip: goggles; lab coat
    Storage Color Code: Orange (general storage)
    ------------------------------

    Potential Health Effects

    Inhalation: May cause mild irritation to the respiratory tract.

    Ingestion: Very large doses can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and prostration. Dehydration and congestion occur in most internal organs. Hypertonic salt solutions can produce violent inflammatory reactions in the gastrointestinal tract.

    Skin Contact: May irritate damaged skin; absorption can occur with effects similar to those via ingestion.

    Eye Contact: Causes irritation, redness, and pain. (For salt concentrations greater than the normal saline present.)

    Chronic Exposure: No information found.

    Aggravation of pre-existing conditions: No information found.
  4. First Aid Measures
    Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Get medical attention for any breathing difficulty.

    Ingestion: If large amounts were swallowed, give water to drink and get medical advice.

    Skin Contact: Wash exposed area with soap and water. Get medical advice if irritation develops.

    Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting upper and lower eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention if irritation persists
  5. Fire Fighting Measures

    Fire: Not considered to be a fire hazard.

    Explosion: Not considered to be an explosion hazard.

    Fire Extinguishing Media: Use any means suitable for extinguishing surrounding fire.

    Special Information: In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.
  6. Accidental Release Measures
    Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in 8.

    Spills: Sweep up and containerize for reclamation or disposal. Vacuuming or wet sweeping may be used to avoid dust dispersal. Small amounts of residue may be flushed to sewer with plenty of water.
  7. Handling and Storage
    Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical damage. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.
  8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
    Airborne Exposure Limits: None established.

    Ventilation System: In general, dilution ventilation is a satisfactory health hazard control for this substance. However, if conditions of use create discomfort to the worker, a local exhaust system should be considered.

    Personal respirators (NIOSH approved): For conditions of use where exposure to the dust or mist is apparent, a half-face dust/mist respirator may be worn. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-face positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator.

    Warning: Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.

    Skin Protection: Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing.

    Eye Protection: Use chemical safety goggles. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.

  10. Stability and Reactivity
    Stability: Stable under ordinary conditions of use and storage. Hygroscopic.

    Hazardous Decomposition Products: When heated to above 801c (1474f) it emits toxic fumes of Chloride and Sodium Oxide.

    Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur.

    Incompatibilities: Lithium, bromine trifluoride.

    Conditions to Avoid: Incompatibles.
