Section 4: FIRST-AID MEASURES

Inhalation: If inhaled: Call a poison center or doctor if you feel unwell.
Acute and delayed symptoms and effects: May cause respiratory irritation.
Signs/symptoms may include cough, sneezing, nasal discharge,
headache, hoarseness, and nose and throat pain. Excessive inhalation
may cause headache, dizziness, confusion, loss of appetite and/or loss of
consciousness. This product may contain small amounts of Hydrogen
sulphide which may accumulate in confined spaces. Inhalation of
Hydrogen sulphide may cause loss of sense of smell, major irritation of the
respiratory tract, headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and fluid buildup
in the lungs (pulmonary edema), which can be fatal. At 300 ppm
unconsciousness may occur after 20 minutes. From 300 to 500 ppm,
death can occur within 1 to 4 hours of continuous exposure. At 500 ppm
the respiratory system is paralyzed, the victim collapses almost
instantaneously, and death can occur after exposure of only 30 to 60
minutes. Above 500 ppm Hydrogen sulphide may cause immediate loss of
consciousness; death is rapid, and possibly immediate.
Eye Contact: If in eyes: Rinse cautiously with water for at least 30 minutes. Remove

MEANS OF EXTINCTION
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Small Fire: Dry chemical, CO2, or regular foam.
Large Fire: Water fog or regular foam. Move containers from
fire area if you can do it without risk.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Do not use straight streams. Do not spray water onto burning
product as this may cause spattering and spreading of the
flame.
Products of Combustion: Oxides of carbon. Oxides of sulphur.
Protection of Firefighters: May cause toxic effects if inhaled or absorbed through skin.
Inhalation or contact with material may irritate or burn skin
and eyes. Fire will produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic
gases. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. Runoff
from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution.
Hydrogen sulphide is heavier than air and may collect in low
lying areas and confined spaces. Wear positive pressure self-
contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Structural firefighters'
protective clothing will only provide limited protection.
Section 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Emergency Procedures: As an immediate precautionary measure, isolate spill or leak area
for at least 50 meters (150 feet) in all directions. Keep
unauthorized personnel away. Stay upwind. Keep out of low
areas. Ventilate closed spaces before entering. ELIMINATE all
ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in
immediate area). All equipment used when handling the product
must be grounded.
Personal Precautions: Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Use personal
protection recommended in Section 8. Don full-face, positive
pressure, self-contained breathing apparatus.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined
areas.
Methods for Containment: Stop leak if you can do it without risk. A vapor suppressing foam
may be used to reduce vapors. Contain hot liquid by dyking and
allow to cool and solidify. Do not flush to sewer or allow to enter
waterways.
Methods for Clean-Up: Sweep up and shovel into suitable containers for disposal. Use
clean non-sparking tools to collect absorbed material.
Other Information: See Section 13 for disposal considerations.
Section 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling:
Do not swallow. Obtain special instructions before use. Do not handle until all safety precautions
have been read and understood. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and hot surfaces.
