| First Aid Measures | Back to Contents | 【Ingestion】
Give water; induce vomiting; call a doctor. | 【Inhalation】
Move victim to fresh air. Apply artificial respiration if victim is not breathing. Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. | 【Skin】
Remove and isolate contaminated clothing and shoes. In case of contact with substance, immediately flush with running water for at least 20 minutes. | 【Eyes】
In case of contact with substance, immediately flush with running water for at least 20 minutes. |
| Handling and Storage | Back to Contents | 【Storage】
Protect against physical damage. Separate from acids, oxidizing materials, and possible sources of ignition. | 【Handling】
Containers of this material may be hazardous when emptied. Since emptied containers retain product residues (vapor, liquid, and/or solid), all hazard precautions given in the data sheet must be observed. |
| Hazards Identification | Back to Contents | 【Inhalation】
Stridor, dyspnea, upper airway injury, and pulmonary edema, especially following inhalation of vaporized caustics, may occur. | 【Skin】
Severe skin irritation and/or burns may occur. | 【Eyes】
See Skin. | 【Ingestion】
Burns of the esophagus and less commonly the stomach may occur after caustic ingestion; the absence of oral mucosal injury does not reliably exclude esophageal burns. Patients with stridor, drooling or vomiting are more likely to have esophageal burns. | 【Hazards】
When heated, vapors may form explosive mixtures with air: indoors, outdoors, and sewers explosion hazards. May polymerize explosively when heated or involved in a fire. Contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen gas. Containers may explode when heated. Runoff may pollute waterways. Substance may be transported in a molten form. | 【UN (DOT)】

| Exposure Controls/Personal Protection | Back to Contents | 【Personal Protection】
Goggles or face shield. Wear special protective clothing and positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus. | 【Respirators】
Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). | 【Exposure Effects】
Patients may acutely present with low heart rate, rapid heart rate, hyperventilation, respiratory depression even to the point of apnea, and/or hypo-/elevated blood pressure. Asphyxial seizures, coma, and death associated with rapid respiratory paralysis may be noted following exposure to high concentrations. Headache, sweating, vertigo, anosmia, irritability, staggering gait, disorientation, somnolence, weakness, confusion, and delirium may be noted following exposure to non-fatal levels. Spontaneous abortions have occurred after exposure to life-threatening concentrations. |
| Stability and Reactivity | Back to Contents | 【Incompatibilities】
Liberates toxic hydrogen sulfide on contact with acids. Reacts violently with carbon; diazonium salts; n,n-dichloromethylamine; 0-nitroaniline diazonium salt; water. Reacts with acid more vigorously, producing corrosive solutions and hydrogen sulfide. | 【Stability】
Unstable - can explode with shock or heat reactive at high temperature or pressure. | 【Decomposition】
When heated to decomposition, emits toxic fumes of sulfur oxides and disodium oxide. | 【Combustion Products】
Irritating sulfur dioxide is produced in fire. |
