3. Hazards
Identification
Emergency
Overview
--------------------------
WARNING! FLAMMABLE SOLID. DUST MAY FORM FLAMMABLE OR EXPLOSIVE MIXTURE WITH
AIR. MAY BE HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED OR INHALED. CAUSES EYE IRRITATION. MAY CAUSE
IRRITATION TO SKIN AND RESPIRATORY TRACT.
Potential Health Effects
----------------------------------
Inhalation:
Nuisance dust. May cause coughing, sneezing or labored breathing if large
amounts are inhaled.
Ingestion:
Considered essentially non-toxic by ingestion. Ingestion of very large amounts
may cause sore throat, nausea, headache, and possibly unconsciousness in severe
cases. May be converted into hydrogen sulfide in the intestine.
Skin Contact:
May cause irritation.
Eye Contact:
Irritant to human eyes at 6-8 ppm. Redness and pain may be observed.
Chronic Exposure:
Prolonged overexposure to sulfur dust can produce possible skin sensitization
and permanent eye damage(clouding of the lens and chronic irritation).
Prolonged inhalation can cause irritation of mucous membranes.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:
Sensitive individuals can experience skin irritation from repeated exposure to
sulfur dust. Allergenic responses can occur.
4. First
Aid Measures
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:
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:
Flash point: 207C (405F) OC
Autoignition temperature: 232C (450F)
Slight fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame.
Explosion:
Fine dust dispersed in air in sufficient concentrations, and in the presence of
an ignition source is a potential dust explosion hazard. Explosive limits, dust
in air, gm/cu meter: Lower - 35, Upper - 1400. Hazardous in contact with
oxidizing materials; forms explosive mixtures.
Fire Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray to blanket fire, cool fire exposed containers, and to flush
non-ignited spills or vapors away from fire. Solid streams of water should not
be used because of possibility of dispersing dust clouds of sulfur in air.
Special Information:
In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved
self-contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in the pressure
demand or other positive pressure mode.
6.
Accidental Release Measures
Remove all
sources of ignition. Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal
protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Spills: Clean up spills in a
manner that does not disperse dust into the air. Use non-sparking tools and
equipment. Reduce airborne dust and prevent scattering by moistening with
water. Pick up spill for recovery or disposal and place in a closed container.
7.
Handling and Storage
Keep in a
tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, corrosion-proof, ventilated
area away from moisture, sources of heat or ignition, combustibles and
oxidizers. Protect against physical damage. Avoid dust formation and control
ignition sources. Employ grounding, venting and explosion relief provisions in
accord with accepted engineering practices in any process capable of generating
dust and/or static electricity. Empty only into inert or non-flammable
atmosphere. Emptying contents into a non-inert atmosphere where flammable
vapors may be present could cause a flash fire or explosion due to
electrostatic discharge.
8.
Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Airborne
Exposure Limits:
None established.
Ventilation System:
In general, dilution ventilation is a satisfactory health hazard control for
this substance. However, if conditions of use create discomfort to the worker,
a local exhaust system should be considered.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):
For conditions of use where exposure to dust or mist is apparent and
engineering controls are not feasible, a particulate respirator (NIOSH type N95
or better filters) may be worn. If oil particles (e.g. lubricants, cutting
fluids, glycerine, etc.) are present, use a NIOSH type R or P filter. For
emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a
full-face positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air-purifying
respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Skin Protection:
Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing.
Eye Protection:
Use chemical safety goggles. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench
facilities in work area.
Other Control Measures:
Comments: Remove any worker from exposure to sulfur who shows allergic
reactions; such individual should not be assigned further work where exposed to
sulfur without a physician's approval.
