HAZARD
IDENTIFICATION
==============================================================================
Route Of Entry Inds - Inhalation: N/P Skin: N/P Ingestion: N/P
Carcinogenicity Inds - NTP: NO IARC: YES OSHA: NO
Health Hazards Acute And Chronic: INHALATION: USE OF BRONCHIODIALATORS
PRESERVED WITH SULFITES CAN CAUSE ALLERGIC REACTIONS. INGESTION: NOT EXPECTED
TO BE A HEALTH HAZARD BUT LARGE AMOUNTS MAY CAUSE GASTROINTESTINAL DISTURBANCES
DUE TO RELEASE OF SULFUR DIOXIDE. SOME INDIVI DUALS MAY EXPERIENCE ALLERGIC
REACTIONS FROM FOODS TREATED WITH SULFITES. SKIN CONTACT: MAY CAUSE IRRITATION
AND POSSIBLY DERMATITIS. EYE CONTACT: MAY CAUSE IRRITATION. CHRONIC EXPOSURE:
NO ADVERSE HEALTH EFFECCTS EXPECTED.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity: CANCER LISTS: POTASSIUM METABISULFITE: NTP
KNOWN: NO, NTP ANTICIPATED: NO, IARC CATEGORY: 3.
Signs and Symptoms of Overexposure: INHALATION: ALLERGIC REACTION. INGESTION:
NAUSEA, VOMITING, DIARRHEA. SKIN CONTACT: IRRITATION, DERMATITIS. EYE CONTACT:
IRRITATION, REDNESS, PAIN.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Overexposure: SOME ASTHMATICS ARE SAID TO BE
DANGEROUSLY SENSITIVE TO MINUTE AMOUNTS OF SULFITES IN FOODS AND SOME
BRONCHIODILATOR MEDICATIONS PRESERVED WITH SULFITES.
==============================================================================
FIRST AID
==============================================================================
INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION FOR ANY BREATHING
DIFFICULTY. INGESTION: INDUCE VOMITING IMMEDIATELY AS DIRECTED BY MEDICAL
PERSONNEL. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON. SKIN CONTACT:
WASH EXPOSED AREA WITH SOAP AND WATER. GET MEDICAL ADVICE IF IRRITATION
DEVELOPS. EYE CONTACT: WASH THOROUGHLY WITH RUNNING WATER. GET MEDICAL ADVICE
IF IRRITATION DEVELOPS.

FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
==============================================================================
Flash Point Text: N/P
Auto Ignition Temperature Text:
Lower Limits: N/P Upper Limits: N/P
Extinguishing Media: USE ANY MEANS SUITABLE FOR EXTINGUISHING SURROUNDING FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures: IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, WEAR FULL PROTECTUVE CLOTHING
AND NIOSH-APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WITH FULL FACEPIECE
OPERATED IN THE PRESSURE DEMAND OR OTHER POSITIVE PRESSURE MODE.
Unusal Fire/Explosion Hazard: FIRE: NOT CONSIDERED A FIRE HAZARD, HOWEVER, MAY
IGNITE IN MILLING, GRINDING, OTHER CONDITIONS OF HIGH FRICTION. TOXIC GASES
GIVEN OFF IN A FIRE. NOT CONSIDERED AN EXPLOSION HAZARD.
==============================================================================
RELEASE MEASURES
==============================================================================
Spill Release Procedures: VENTILATE AREA OF LEAK OR SPILL. WEAR APPROPRIATE
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT . SPILLS: SWEEP UP AND CONTAINERIZE FOR
RECLAMATION OR DISPOSAL. VACUUMING OR WET SWEEPING MAY BE USED TO AVOID DUST
DISPERSAL.
Neutralizing Agent: NO DATA PROVIDED BY RESPONSIBLE PARTY.
Waste Disposal Methods: WHATEVER CANNOT BE SAVED FOR RECOVERY OR RECYCLING
SHOULD BE HANDLED AS HAZARDOUS WASTE & SENT TO A RCRA APPROVED INCINERATOR
OR DISPOSED IN A RCRA-APPROVED WASTE FACILITY. PROCESSING, USE OR CONTAMINATION
OF PRODUCT MAY CHANGE WASTE MANAGEMENT OPTIONS. DISPOSE OF CONTAINER &
CONTENTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL, STATE & FEDERAL REGULATIONS.
==============================================================================
HANDLING AND STORAGE
==============================================================================
CONTAINERS OF THIS MATERIAL MAY BE HAZARDOUS WHEN EMPTY SINCE THEY RETAIN
PRODUCT RESIDUES (DUST, SOLIDS); OBSERVE ALL WARNING AND PRECAUTIONS LISTED FOR
PRODUCT. PROTECT AGAINST PHYSICAL DAMAGE. STORE IN A COOL, DRY, WELL-VENTILATED
AREA.
==============================================================================
EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
==============================================================================
Respiratory Protection: FOR CONDITIONS OF USE WHERE EXPOSURE TO THE DUST OR
MIST IS APPARENT, A HALF-FACE DUST/MIST RESPIRATOR MAY BE WORN. FOR EMERGENCIES
OR INSTANCES WHERE THE EXPOSURE LEVELS ARE NOT KNOWN, USE A FULL-FACEPOSITIVE
PRESSURE, AIR-SUPPLIED RESPIRA TOR. WARINING: AIR-PURIFYING RESPIRATORS DO NOT
PROTECT WORKERS IN OXYGEN-DEFICIENT ATMOSPHERES.
Ventilation: A SYSTEM OF LOCAL AND/OR GENERAL EXHAUST IS RECOMMENDED TO KEEP
EXPOSURES AS LOW AS POSSIBLE. LOCAL EXHAUST IS PREFERRED.
Protective Gloves: WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES.
Eye Protection: USE CHEMICAL SAFETY GOGGLES.
Other Equipment: MAINTAIN EYE WASH FOUNTAIN AND QUICK-DRENCH FACILITIES IN WORK
AREA. WEAR CLEAN BODY-COVERING CLOTHING.
Work Hygenic Practices: MAINTAIN EYE WASH FOUNTAIN AND QUICK-DRENCH FACILITIES
IN WORK AREA. WEAR CLEAN BODY-COVERING CLOTHING.
Supplemental Safety & Health: NO DATA PROVIDED BY RESPONSIBLE PARTY.
