                  **** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
________________________________________________________________________________________
                               EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Toxic by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed.
Irritating to eyes. Possible risks of irreversible effects. May
cause sensitization by skin contact. Very toxic to aquatic
organisms.Light sensitive.

Potential Health Effects
Eye: Causes eye irritation.
Skin: Causes skin irritation. Harmful if absorbed through the skin. If  absorbed, causes symptoms similar to those of inhalation.
Ingestion:  May cause irritation of the digestive tract. May be harmful if swallowed. May form methemoglobin which in sufficient concentration
causes cyanosis (bluish discoloration of skin due to deficient  oxygenation of the blood).
Inhalation: May be fatal if inhaled. May cause drowsiness, unconsciousness, and  central nervous system depression. Inhalation causes anoxia due to the formation of methemoglobin and hematuria. Inhalation may lead to dizziness, weakness, and drowsiness, leading to stupor, unconsciousness, and even death. Inhalation may produce headache and cyanosis of the lips, the mucous membranes, and the fingernail beds, and the tongue. Exposure may affect the kidney and bladder as evidenced by blood in the urine.
Chronic: Possible cancer hazard based on tests with laboratory animals. Chronic inhalation may cause effects similar to those of acute
          inhalation. Chronic exposure leads to anemia, anorexia, weight loss, and cutaneous lesions.
________________________________________________________________________________________
                    **** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
________________________________________________________________________________________
     Eyes:
          In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for
          at least 15 minutes. Get medical aid immediately.
     Skin:
          In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for
          at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
          Get medical aid immediately. Wash clothing before reuse.
     Ingestion:
          If swallowed, do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by
          medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
          person. Get medical aid.
     Inhalation:
          Poison material. If inhaled, get medical aid immediately. Remove
          victim to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration.
          If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
     Notes to Physician:
          If cyanosis is severe, intravenous injection of Methylene blue,
          1mg/kg of body weight may be of value. For methemoglobinemia,
          administer oxygen alone or with Methylene blue depending on the
          methemoglobinemia concentration in the blood.
________________________________________________________________________________________
                  **** SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES ****
________________________________________________________________________________________
     General Information:
          As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
          pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
          protective gear. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers
          cool. Combustible solid.
     Extinguishing Media:
          Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or appropriate foam.
________________________________________________________________________________________
                **** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
________________________________________________________________________________________
     General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
                          in Section 8.
     Spills/Leaks:
          Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal
          container. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Remove all sources of
          ignition. Approach spill from upwind. Use water spray to cool and
          disperse vapors and protect personnel.
________________________________________________________________________________________
                   **** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
________________________________________________________________________________________
     Handling:
          Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
          wash before reuse. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Do not
          get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Empty containers retain
          product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Keep
          container tightly closed. Avoid contact with heat, sparks and flame.
          Do not ingest or inhale. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze,
          solder, drill, grind, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or
          open flames. Use only with adequate ventilation.
     Storage:
          Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Keep away from sources of
          ignition. Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry,
          well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Poison room
          locked. Store away from heat, oxidizing agents, acids, alkalies, and
          sunlight.

          **** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
________________________________________________________________________________________
     Engineering Controls:
          Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped
          with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate general or
          local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the
          permissible exposure limits.
     Personal Protective Equipment

                 Eyes:
                       Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical
                       safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face
                       protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European
                       Standard EN166.
                 Skin:
                       Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin
                       exposure.
             Clothing:
                       Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin
                       exposure.
