X9317SP SKIN ■ If skin or hair contact occurs:  Immediately flush body and clothes with large amounts of water, using safety shower if available.  Quickly remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear.  Wash skin and hair with running water. Continue flushing with water until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre.  Transport to hospital, or doctor. INHALED  If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.  Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested.  Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed, where possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures.  Apply artificial respiration if not breathing, preferably with a demand valve resuscitator, bag-valve mask device, or pocket mask as trained. Perform CPR if necessary. NOTES TO PHYSICIAN  Moderate adsorption of inorganic mercury compounds through the gastro-intestinal tract (7-15%) is the principal cause of poisoning. These compounds are highly concentrated (as the mercuric (Hg (2+) form) in the kidney; acute ingestion may lead to oliguric renal failure. Severe mucosal necrosis may also result from ingestion.  Chronic effects range from proteinuria to nephrotic syndrome. Chronic presentation also involves dermatitis, gingivitis, stomatitis, tremor and neuropsychiatric symptoms of .  Absorbed inorganic mercury does not significantly cross the blood-brain barrier.  Emesis and lavage should be initiated following acute ingestion. There are no specific antidotes for chronic poisoning, other than early detection of intoxication and removal from exposure. Urine mercury determination may be an index of absorption. Generally, 0.1 - 0.5 mg Hg/l of urine is considered significant. [I.L.O. Encyclopedia]

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA  Water spray or fog.  Foam.  Dry chemical powder.  BCF (where regulations permit). FIRE FIGHTING  Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard.  Wear full body protective clothing with breathing apparatus.  Prevent, by any means available, spillage from entering drains or water course.

 Use fire fighting procedures suitable for surrounding area. FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD Decomposition may produce toxic fumes of: hydrogen chloride, mercury vapour / mercury metal, metal oxides.  Non combustible.  Not considered to be a significant fire risk.  Heating may cause expansion or decomposition leading to violent rupture of containers.  May emit corrosive, poisonous fumes. FIRE INCOMPATIBILITY None known. HAZCHEM 2X

Personal Protective Equipment advice is contained in Section 8 of the MSDS.

PROCEDURE FOR HANDLING  Avoid all personal contact, including inhalation.

 Wear protective clothing when risk of exposure occurs.  Use in a well-ventilated area.  Prevent concentration in hollows and sumps. SUITABLE CONTAINER  Lined metal can, lined metal pail/ can.  Plastic pail.  Polyliner drum.  Packing as recommended by manufacturer. For low viscosity materials  Drums and jerricans must be of the non-removable head type.  Where a can is to be used as an inner package, the can must have a screwed enclosure. <. All inner and sole packagings for substances that have been assigned to Packaging Groups I or II on the basis of inhalation toxicity criteria, must be hermetically sealed. STORAGE INCOMPATIBILITY Derivative of electronegative metal.  WARNING: Avoid or control reaction with peroxides. All transition metal peroxides should be considered as potentially explosive. For example transition metal complexes of alkyl hydroperoxides may decompose explosively.  The pi-complexes formed between chromium(0), vanadium(0) and other transition metals (haloarene- metal complexes) and mono-or poly-fluorobenzene show extreme sensitivity to heat and are explosive.  Avoid reaction with borohydrides or cyanoborohydrides  Metals and their oxides or salts may react violently with chlorine trifluoride and bromine trifluoride.  These trifluorides are hypergolic oxidisers. They ignites on contact (without external source of heat or ignition) with recognised fuels - contact with these materials, following an ambient or slightly elevated temperature, is often violent and may produce ignition.  The state of subdivision may affect the results. Mercury(II) chloride  evolves chlorine and mercury vapours in contact with acids and acid fumes  possibly reacts violently with chlorine nitrate, sodium acetylide  is incompatible with anhydrous ammonia, chloric acid, hydrozoic acid, light metals, methyl isocyanoacetate, sodium peroxyborate, sodium, potassium, trinitrobenzoic acid, urea nitrate  requires segregation from phosphorus, antimony, arsenic, silver salts, alkali metals sulfides, sulfites, acetylene, phosphates, oxalates, acetylene, ammonia, oxalic acid.

HANDS/FEET  Elbow length PVC gloves

The selection of the suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality which vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Where the chemical is a preparation of several substances, the resistance of the glove material can not be calculated in advance and has therefore to be checked prior to the application. The exact break through time for substances has to be obtained from the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed when making a final choice. Suitability and durability of glove type is dependent on usage. Important factors in the selection of gloves include: OTHER  Overalls.  Eyewash unit.  Barrier cream.  Skin cleansing cream. ■ Engineering controls are used to remove a hazard or place a barrier between the worker and the hazard. Well-designed engineering controls can be highly effective in protecting workers and will typically be independent of worker interactions to provide this high level of protection. The basic types of engineering controls are: Process controls which involve changing the way a job activity or process is done to reduce the risk. Enclosure and/or isolation of emission source which keeps a selected hazard "physically" away from the worker and ventilation that strategically "adds" and "removes" air in the work environment.

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS

ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS SWALLOWED ■ Severely toxic effects may result from the accidental ingestion of the material; animal experiments indicate that ingestion of less than 5 gram may be fatal or may produce serious damage to the health of the individual. The material can produce chemical burns within the oral cavity and gastrointestinal tract following ingestion. Symptoms of ingestion within the first few minutes may include pain, profuse vomiting and severe purging and the victim may die within a few hours from peripheral vascular collapse secondary to fluid and electrolyte loss. Primary gastroenteritis may subside spontaneously within a few days but severe haemorrhagic inflammation of the colon (colitis) has occurred as late as 9 days following ingestion. EYE ■ The material can produce chemical burns to the eye following direct contact. Vapours or mists may be extremely irritating. If applied to the eyes, this material causes severe eye damage. SKIN ■ Skin contact with the material may produce severely toxic effects; systemic effects may result following

absorption and these may be fatal. The material can produce chemical burns following direct contactwith the skin. Open cuts, abraded or irritated skin should not be exposed to this material. Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions, may produce systemic injury with harmful effects. Examine the skin prior to the use of the material and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected. The material may cause severe inflammation of the skin either following direct contact or after a delay of some time. Repeated exposure can cause contact dermatitis which is characterised by redness, swelling and blistering. INHALED ■ Inhalation of dusts, generated by the material, during the course of normal handling, may produce severely toxic effects; these may be fatal. Persons with impaired respiratory function, airway diseases and conditions such as emphysema or chronic bronchitis, may incur further disability if excessive concentrations of particulate are inhaled. If prior damage to the circulatory or nervous systems has occurred or if kidney damage has been sustained, proper screenings should be conducted on individuals who may be exposed to further risk if handling and use

X9317SP of the material result in excessive exposures. CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS ■ Substance accumulation, in the human body, is likely and may cause some concern following repeated or long-term occupational exposure. Repeated or prolonged exposure to corrosives may result in the erosion of teeth, inflammatory and ulcerative changes in the mouth and necrosis (rarely) of the jaw. Bronchial irritation, with cough, and frequent attacks of bronchial pneumonia may ensue. Gastrointestinal disturbances may also occur. Chronic exposures may result in dermatitis and/or conjunctivitis. Strong evidence exists that this substance may cause irreversible mutations (though not lethal) even following a single exposure. Toxic: danger of serious damage to health by prolonged exposure in contact with skin and if swallowed. This material can cause serious damage if one is exposed to it for long periods. It can be assumed that it contains a substance which can produce severe defects. This has been demonstrated via both short- and long-term experimentation.

Ample evidence from experiments exists that there is a suspicionthis material directly reduces fertility. There is some evidence from animal testing that exposure to this material may result in toxic effects to the unborn baby. Mercury easily crosses the placenta and causes birth defects. Chronic exposure results in excess saliva production, loss of appetite, stomach upset, vague abdominal discomfort and mild diarrhoea. The kidneys are rarely involved. Chronic mercury poisoning usually shows itself mainly as effects on the nervous system, especially the central nervous system. There may be tremors involving the hands and fingers, eyelids, cheeks, legs and tongue. Motor control may be impaired, leading to slurred or scanning speech and inco- ordinated walking. Disturbance with seeing or hearing may occur. There may be behaviour changes such as depression, despondency and fearfulness, often accompanied by sleep disturbance, headache and fatigue. Advanced cases show memory loss, hallucinations and deterioration in mental function. Other symptoms include a constant metallic taste, and various levels of gum inflammation, leading to periodontal disease and loosening of teeth. A dark blue line may occur along the gum margins. Uncommonly, a syndrome known as acrodynia ("pink disease") may occur, of which the major symptom is itchy scaling of the hands and feet. TOXICITY AND IRRITATION ■ The material may produce severe irritation to the eye causing pronounced inflammation. Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce conjunctivitis. The material may cause severe skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and may produce on contact skin redness, swelling, the production of vesicles, scaling and thickening of the skin. Repeated

exposures may produce severe ulceration. Asthma-like symptoms may continue for months or even years after exposure to the material ceases. This may be due to a non-allergenic condition known as reactive airways dysfunction syndrome (RADS) which can occur following exposure to high levels of highly irritating compound. Exposure to the material for prolonged periods may cause physical defects in the developing embryo (teratogenesis). CARCINOGEN International Agency for

Otherwise:  If container can not be cleaned sufficiently well to ensure that residuals do not remain or if the container cannot be used to store the same product, then puncture containers, to prevent re-use, and bury at an authorised landfill.  Where possible retain label warnings and MSDS and observe all notices pertaining to the product. Legislation addressing waste disposal requirements may differ by country, state and/ or territory. Each user must refer to laws operating in their area. A Hierarchy of Controls seems to be common - the user should investigate:  Reduction  DO NOT allow wash water from cleaning or process equipment to enter drains.  It may be necessary to collect all wash water for treatment before disposal.

 In all cases disposal to sewer may be subject to local laws and regulations and these should be considered first.  Where in doubt contact the responsible authority. For small quantities:  Dissolve the material (in water or acid solution as appropriate) or convert it to a water soluble state with appropriate oxidising agent.  Precipitate as the sulfide, adjusting the pH to neutral to complete the precipitation.  Filter off sulfide solids for recovery or disposal to approved land-fill.  Destroy excess sulfide in solution with, for example, sodium hypochlorite, neutralise, and flush to sewer (subject to local regulation).  Recycle wherever possible or consult manufacturer for recycling options.  Consult State Land Waste Management Authority for disposal.  Bury residue in an authorised landfill.  Recycle containers if possible, or dispose of in an authorised landfill.
