TYPES OF HAZARD/ EXPOSURE	ACUTE HAZARDS/ SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID/ FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE	Combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire.	NO open flames.	Powder, water spray, foam, carbon dioxide.
EXPLOSION

EXPOSURE		PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST!
INHALATION	Burning sensation. Cough. Sore throat (see Ingestion).	Local exhaust or breathing protection.	Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
SKIN	(see Ingestion).	Protective gloves.	Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower.
EYES	Redness. Pain.	Safety goggles or eye protection in combination with breathing protection.	First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor.
INGESTION	Blue lips or fingernails. Blue skin. Dizziness. Headache. Laboured breathing.	Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.	Rinse mouth. Refer for medical attention.

PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE:
YELLOW NEEDLES.

CHEMICAL DANGERS:
The substance decomposes on heating or on burning producing toxic fumes (nitrogen oxides). Reacts with strong oxidants.

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS (OELs):
TLV not established.

ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation, through the skin and by ingestion.

INHALATION RISK:
Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly by dispersing.

EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE:
The substance irritates the eyes and the respiratory tract. The substance may cause effects on the blood: methemoglobinemia , resulting in cyanosis, brain and kidney failure. See Notes.

EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE:
The substance may have effects on the blood: methemoglobinemia (see Short-Term Exposure.

Vapour pressure, Pa at 25°C: negligible

Relative vapour density (air = 1): 7.4
Relative density of the vapour/air-mixture at 20°C (air = 1): 1.00
Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 3.82

ENVIRONMENTAL
DATA

This substance may be hazardous to the environment; special attention should be given to fish and aquatic life. In the food chain important to humans, bioaccumulation takes place, specifically in . It is strongly advised not to let the chemical enter into the environment.

NOTES

Density = 1.15. Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is indicated. Specific treatment is necessary in case of poisoning with this substance; the appropriate means with instructions must be available. Data are insufficiently available on the effect of this substance on human health, therefore utmost care must be taken.
