FIRST AID MEASURES

Description of first aid measures

General advice

Consult a physician. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.

If inhaled

If breathed in, move person into fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Consult a physician.

In case of skin contact

Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Consult a physician.

In case of eye contact

Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and consult a physician.

If swallowed

Do NOT induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Rinse mouth with

water. Consult a physician.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed

Acute inhalation exposure to cadmium fumes may cause "metal fume fever" with flu-like symptoms of

weakness, fever, headache, chills, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, sweating, muscular pain, cough and

difficulty breathing. Acute pulmonary edema may develop within 24 hours and reaches a maximum by

three days.The first chronic effect of exposure to cadmium is generally kidney damage, manifested by

excretion of excessive protein in the urine, followed by anemia, teeth discoloration and loss of smell.

Cadmium also is believed to cause pulmonary emphysema and bone disease., Inhalation studies on

toluene have demonstrated the development of inflammatory and ulcerous lesions of the penis, prepuce,

and scrotum in animals., Lung irritation, chest pain, pulmonary edema

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

no data available

FIREFIGHTING MEASURES

Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media

Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

Carbon oxides

Advice for firefighters

Wear self contained breathing apparatus for fire fighting if necessary.

Further information

Use water spray to cool unopened containers.

ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Use personal protective equipment. Avoid breathing vapors, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation.

Remove all sources of ignition. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Beware of vapours accumulating to

form explosive concentrations. Vapours can accumulate in low areas.

Environmental precautions

Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains. Discharge into the

environment must be avoided.

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up

Contain spillage, and then collect with an electrically protected vacuum cleaner or by wet-brushing and

place in container for disposal according to local regulations (see section 13).

Reference to other sections

For disposal see section 13.

HANDLING AND STORAGE

Precautions for safe handling

Avoid exposure - obtain special instructions before use.Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid inhalation

of vapour or mist.

Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking.Take measures to prevent the build up of electrostatic

charge.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Store in cool place. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Containers which are

opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage.

Recommended storage temperature: 2 - 8 °C

Handle and store under inert gas. Air and light sensitive. Moisture sensitive.

EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Control parameters

Components with workplace control parameters

Exposure controls

Appropriate engineering controls

Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wash hands before breaks and

at the end of workday.

Personal protective equipment

Eye/face protection

Face shield and safety glasses Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under

appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).

Skin protection

Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique

(without touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of

contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices.

Wash and dry hands.

The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and

the standard EN 374 derived from it.

Body Protection

Complete suit protecting against chemicals, Flame retardant antistatic protective clothing, The type

of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the

dangerous substance at the specific workplace.

Respiratory protection

Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face respirator

with multi-purpose combination (US) or type ABEK (EN 14387) respirator cartridges as a backup

to engineering controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air

respirator. Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government

standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).
