3. Hazards
Identification
Emergency
Overview
--------------------------
WARNING! HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED OR INHALED. MAY CAUSE ALLERGIC RESPIRATORY REACTION.
CAUSES IRRITATION TO SKIN, EYES AND RESPIRATORY TRACT. REACTS WITH ACIDS AND
WATER RELEASING TOXIC SULFUR DIOXIDE GAS.
Potential Health Effects
----------------------------------
Inhalation:
Causes irritation to the respiratory tract. Symptoms may include coughing,
shortness of breath. May cause allergic reaction in sensitive individuals.
Ingestion:
May cause gastric irritation by the liberation of sulfurous acid. An asthmatic
reaction may occur after ingestion. Large doses may result in nausea, vomiting,
diarrhea, abdominal pains, circulatory disturbance, and central nervous system
depression. Estimated fatal dose is 10 gm.
Skin Contact:
Causes irritation to skin. Symptoms include redness, itching, and pain.
Eye Contact:
Causes irritation, redness, and pain. Contact may cause irreversible eye
damage. Symptoms may include stinging, tearing, redness, swelling, corneal
damage and blindness.
Chronic Exposure:
No information found.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:
Some individuals are said to be dangerously sensitive to minute amounts of
sulfites in foods. Symptoms may include broncho constriction, shock,
gastrointestinal disturbances, angio edema, flushing, and tingling sensations.
Once allergy develops, future exposures can cause asthma attacks with shortness
of breath, wheezing, and cough.
4. First
Aid Measures
Inhalation:
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.
Ingestion:
Induce vomiting immediately as directed by medical personnel. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact:
Wipe off excess material from skin then immediately flush skin with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get
medical attention. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before
reuse.
Eye Contact:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting
lower and upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention immediately.
5. Fire
Fighting Measures
Fire:
Not considered to be a fire hazard.
Explosion:
Not considered to be an explosion hazard.
Fire Extinguishing Media:
Use any means suitable for extinguishing surrounding fire. Do not allow water
runoff to enter sewers or waterways.
Special Information:
In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved
self-contained breathing apparatus with full face piece operated in the
pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.
6.
Accidental Release Measures
Ventilate
area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as
specified in Section 8. Spills: Pick up and place in a suitable container for
reclamation or disposal, using a method that does not generate dust. Cautiously
spray residue with plenty of water, providing ventilation to clear sulfur
dioxide fumes generated from water contact. US Regulations (CERCLA) require
reporting spills and releases to soil, water and air in excess of reportable
quantities. The toll free number for the US Coast Guard National Response
Center is (800) 424-8802.
7.
Handling and Storage
Keep in a
tightly closed container. Protect from physical damage. Store in a cool, dry,
ventilated area away from sources of heat, moisture and incompatibilities.
Releases toxic sulfur dioxide gas when in contact with water, ice. Containers
of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues
(dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.
8.
Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Airborne
Exposure Limits:
-ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV):
5mg/m3 (TWA) for sodium bisulfite & for sodium metabisulfite, A4 Not classifiable
as a human carcinogen.
Ventilation System:
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee
exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is
generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at
its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Please
refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended
Practices, most recent edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):
If the exposure limit is exceeded and engineering controls are not feasible, a
half-face respirator with an acid gas cartridge may be worn for up to ten times
the exposure limit or the maximum use concentration specified by the
appropriate regulatory agency or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest. A
full-face piece respirator with an acid gas cartridge may be worn up to 50
times the exposure limit, or the maximum use concentration specified by the
appropriate regulatory agency, or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest. For
emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a
full-face piece positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING:
Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient
atmospheres.
Skin Protection:
Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron
or coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
Eye Protection:
Use chemical safety goggles. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench
facilities in work area.

Physical and Chemical Properties
Appearance: Coarse
white granules.
Odor: Slight odor of sulfur dioxide.
Solubility: Very soluble in water, insoluble in alcohol.
Specific Gravity: 1.48
pH: No information found.
% Volatiles by volume @ 21C (70F): No information found.
Boiling Point: Not applicable.
Melting Point: 150C (302F)
Vapor Density (Air=1): No information found.
Vapor Pressure (mm Hg): No information found.

10. Stability
and Reactivity
Stability:
Strength diminishes somewhat with age. Gradually decomposes in air to sulfate,
generating sulfurous acid gas. Contact with moisture (water, wet ice, etc.),
will release toxic sulfur dioxide gas.
Hazardous Decomposition Products:
Burning may produce sulfur oxides.
Hazardous Polymerization:
Will not occur.
Incompatibilities:
Water, acids, alkalis, sodium nitrite, oxidizers, aluminum powder.
Conditions to Avoid:
Moisture, heat, flames, ignition sources and incompatibles.
