Section 3 : Hazard Identification
Emergency Overview: Toxic. May be fatal if swallowed. Harmful if inhaled or absorbed through skin. Causes irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. May cause allergic skin reaction. If ingested, give large quantity of water, do not induce vomiting. Vomiting may occur spontaneously. Call a physician immediately. Wash areas of contact with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Mercury compounds affect the kidneys and central nervous system. Final solution results in a concentrated solution of Mercuric Nitrate.
Target Organs: eyes, skin, respiratory system, central nervous system, kidneys.
Eye Contact: May cause irritation, redness, pain, and tearing.
Inhalation: May cause irritation. Prolonged contact can cause central nervous system effects with vertigo, depression, ataxia, emotional instability, and other effects.
Skin Contact: May cause irritation. Effects may be similar to inhalation and ingestion. May cause dermatitis.
Ingestion: May cause abdominal pain, diarrhea (possibly bloody), digestive tract irritation, inflammation of the mouth and gums, liver and kidney damage, loose teeth, reduced urine excretion.
Chronic Effects/Carcinogenicity: Repeated exposures may cause erosion of exposed front teeth, darkening of skin and chronic inflammation of the nose, throat and bronchial tubes.
IARC - Mercury is unclassifiable as to carcinogenicity to humans.
NTP - No.
OSHA - No.
Teratology (Birth Defect) Information: Mutation data cited in 'Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances' for Mercury.Mutation data cited in 'Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances' for Nitric Acid.
Reproductive Information: Reproductive effects cited in 'Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances' for Mercury.Reproductive effects cited in 'Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances' for Nitric Acid.

Section 4. First Aid Measures – In all cases, seek qualified evaluation.
Eye Contact: Irrigate immediately with large quantity of water for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician if irritation develops.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Give artificial respiration if necessary. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Skin Contact: Wash areas of contact with soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician if irritation develops.
Ingestion: Dilute with water or milk. Vomiting may occur spontaneously but do not induce. Call a physician immediately.

Section 5. Fire Fighting Measures

Flash Point: Not Available.	Method Used: Not Available.
LFL: Not Available.	UFL: Not Available.

Extinguishing Media: Use any means suitable for extinguishing surrounding fire. Dry chemical or foam may suffice for small fires. For large fires, try fog or regular foam. Exercise caution if water is used (it may increase contamination of area).
Fire & Explosion Hazards: Not considered to be a fire or explosion hazard. Heat of reaction can accelerate the combustion of ordinary combustible materials.
Fire Fighting Instructions: Poisonous gases are produced in fire. Do not release runoff from fire-fighting measures to sewers or waterways.
Fire Fighting Equipment: Wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.

Section 6. Accidental Release Measures
Wear gloves to protect from absorption through skin. Absorb with suitable material and containerize for proper disposal. Do not flush to sewer. Sprinkle area with Sulfur to suppress Mercury.

Section 7. Handling and Storage
As with all chemicals, wash hands thoroughly after handling. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Protect from freezing and physical damage.
SAFETY STORAGE CODE: Health

Section 8. Exposure Control/Personal Protection
Engineering Controls: No specific controls are needed. Normal room ventilation is adequate.
Respiratory Protection: Normal room ventilation is adequate.
Skin Protection: Chemical resistant gloves.
Eye Protection: Safety glasses or goggles.

Section 9. Physical and Chemical Properties

Appearance: Clear, slight yellow-green liquid	pH: approximately 2
Odor: Odorless to slightly pungent	Boiling Point(°C): Approximately 100
Solubility in Water: Infinite	Melting Point(°C): Approximately 0
Specific Gravity: Approximately 1.9	Vapor Pressure: Not Applicable.

Section 10. Stability and Reactivity
Chemical Stability: Stable under normal conditions of use and storage.
Incompatibility: Acetylene, Ethanol, Phosphine, Cyanide, Ferrocene, Sulfur, Isobutene, Aromatics, Hypophosphoric Acid.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Can emit toxic fumes and gases when heated to decomposition including Mercury and Nitrogen Oxides.
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur.

Section 11. Toxicological Information
LD50, Oral, Rat: 26 mg/kg (Mercuric Nitrate); LD50, Dermal, Rat: 75 mg/kg (Mercuric Nitrate). Details of toxic effects not reported other than lethal dose value.

Section 12. Ecological Information
Ecotoxicological Information: Mercuric Nitrate has high acute and chronic toxicity to aquatic life.
Chemical Fate Information: Mercury is highly persistent in water with a half-life greater than 200 days. When released into water, microorganisms convert Mercuric salts into Methyl Mercury which is rapidly taken up by algae and enters the food chain. It concentrates in the edible tissues of fish and, eventually, can cause human poisoning as well.

Section 13. Disposal Considerations
Containerize for proper disposal with an RCRA approved hazardous waste facility. Do not flush to the sewer. Always dispose of in accordance with local, state and federal regulations.
