Section 4: First Aid Measures

p. 1

Eye Contact: Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Cold water may be used. Get medical attention.

Cold water may be used.Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical attention. Serious Skin Contact: Wash with a disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream. Seek immediate medical attention. Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention. Serious Inhalation: Not available. Ingestion: If swallowed, do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. Get medical attention immediately. Serious Ingestion: Not available.

Section 5: Fire and Explosion Data

Section 6: Accidental Release Measures

Small Spill: Dilute with water and mop up, or absorb with an inert dry material and place in an appropriate waste disposal container. If necessary: Neutralize the residue with a dilute solution of acetic acid. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and dispose of according to local and regional authority requirements. Large Spill: Poisonous liquid. Stop leak if without risk. Do not get water inside container. Do not touch spilled material. Use water spray to reduce vapors. Prevent entry into sewers, basements or confined areas; dike if needed. Call for assistance on disposal. Neutralize the residue with a dilute solution of acetic acid. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and allow to evacuate through the sanitary system.

Section 7: Handling and Storage

p. 2

Precautions: Keep locked up.. Do not ingest. Do not breathe gas/fumes/ vapor/spray. Wear suitable protective clothing. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. If ingested, seek medical advice immediately and show the container or the label. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Storage: Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Do not store above 25C (77F).

Section 8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Engineering Controls: Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapors below their respective threshold limit value. Personal Protection: Splash goggles. Lab coat. Vapor respirator. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent. Gloves. Personal Protection in Case of a Large Spill: Splash goggles. Full suit. Vapor respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self contained breathing apparatus should be used to avoid inhalation of the product. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist BEFORE handling this product. Exposure Limits: Not available.

Section 11: Toxicological Information

Routes of Entry: Absorbed through skin. Eye contact. Toxicity to Animals: Acute oral toxicity (LD50): 17000 mg/kg [Rat]. (Sodium phosphate, dibasic). Chronic Effects on Humans: Not available. Other Toxic Effects on Humans: Hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of ingestion, of inhalation. Special Remarks on Toxicity to Animals: (Potassium phosphate dibasic) Special Remarks on Chronic Effects on Humans: Genetic (Mutation) Effects (Cytogenic Analysis)cited (dust inhalation in hamsters) in "Registery of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances" (RTECS) database. (Edetate disodium, dihydrate) Special Remarks on other Toxic Effects on Humans: Acute Potential Health Effects: Skin: Causes mild skin irritation. There is no significant skin irritation hazard for low level (usual) industrial handling or exposure Eyes: Causes eye irritation. Inhalation: Causes respiratory tract and mucous membrane irritation. There is no significant inhalation hazard for low level (usual) industrial handling or exposure. Ingestion: May cause gastrointestinal tract irritation (gastroenteritis) with nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, diarrhea. May affect behavior (somnolence, listlessness, mental confusion, convulsions), metabolism (anorexia), cardiovascular system (fall of blood pressure, cardiac arrythmias, heart block), kidneys (polyuria, polydipsia). May cause mineral imbalance and affect osmotic pressure of body fluids. Other clinical signs and symptoms of oral potassium overdosage include: paresthesias of the extremities, weakness or heaviness of the legs, flaccid paralysis, cold skin, gray pallor. (Potassium phosphate dibasic) Acute Potential Health Effects: Skin: May cause skin irritation. Eye: Dust may cause eye irritation. Inhalation: Dust may cause respiratory tract irritation and may affect respiration (mechanically impede respiration). Ingestion: Although systemic reactions are unlikely when ingested (because they are incompletely absorbed in the intestinal tract), they may cause the following if ingested in large amounts: May cause gastrointestinal tract irritation with vomiting and diarrhea. May upset the mineral balance in the body, adversely affecting the osmotic pressure of body fluids. Acute poisoning may cause hyperphosphatemia, hypocalcemia, acidosis, hypernaturemia, lethargy, and hyperpyrexia, carpal spasm, and possible. May also affect the cardiovascular system. Chronic Potential Health Effects: No information was available. The toxicological properties of this substance have not been fully investigated. (Sodium Phosphate Monobasic, Anhydrous)
