Toxicological Data on Ingredients: Sodium nitrite: ORAL (LD50): Acute: 180 mg/kg [Rat]. 175 mg/kg [Mouse].
p. 1
Eye Contact:
Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes. Cold water may be used. Get medical attention immediately.
Skin Contact:
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Remove contaminated
clothing and shoes. Cold water may be used.Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical
attention.
Serious Skin Contact:
Wash with a disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream. Seek immediate medical
attention.
Inhalation:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical
attention immediately.
Serious Inhalation:
Evacuate the victim to a safe area as soon as possible. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If
breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. WARNING: It may
be hazardous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation when the inhaled material is toxic, infectious or
corrosive. Seek immediate medical attention.
Ingestion:
If swallowed, do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. Get medical attention immediately.
Serious Ingestion: Not available.

Small Spill: Use appropriate tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal container.
Large Spill:
Oxidizing material. Poisonous solid. Stop leak if without risk. Do not get water inside container. Avoid contact with a
combustible material (wood, paper, oil, clothing...). Keep substance damp using water spray. Do not touch spilled material.
Use water spray to reduce vapors. Prevent entry into sewers, basements or confined areas; dike if needed. Call for assistance
on disposal.
Precautions:
Keep locked up.. Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Keep away from combustible material.. Do not
ingest. Do not breathe dust. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. If ingested, seek medical
advice immediately and show the container or the label. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Keep away from incompatibles such
as reducing agents, combustible materials, organic materials, metals, acids.
Storage:
Oxidizer. Hygroscopic. Air sensitive. Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Separate
from acids, alkalies, reducing agents and combustibles. See NFPA 43A, Code for the Storage of Liquid and Solid Oxidizers.
Do not store above 23°C (73.4°F).
Engineering Controls:
Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below recommended
exposure limits. If user operations generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne contaminants
below the exposure limit.
Personal Protection: Safety glasses. Synthetic apron. Gloves (impervious).
Personal Protection in Case of a Large Spill:
Splash goggles. Full suit. Boots. Gloves. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist BEFORE
handling this product.
Exposure Limits: Not available.

Special Remarks on other Toxic Effects on Humans:
Acute Potential Health Effects: Skin: Causes skin irritation. May be absorbed through skin. Eyes: Causes eye irritation. May
cause conjunctivitis. May cause permanent corneal opacification. Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed. Causes gastrointestinal
tract irritation with nausea. May affect behavior, brain, nervous system (change in motor activity, muscular incoordination,
loss of reflexes, convulsions, coma), blood (methemoglobinemia), liver, metabolism, cardiovasular system (decrease in
blood pressure, rapid pulse) and urinary system. May also cause weakness. Inhalation: May be fatal if inhaled. May cause
respiratory tract irritation, cyanosis, dyspena, pulmonary edema, asphyxia, chemical pneumonitis, upper airway obstruction
caused by edema and possible death. May cause biochemical changes. May affect the blood (methemoglobinemia), and the
cardiovascular system (tachycardia).
Waste Disposal:
Waste must be disposed of in accordance with federal, state and local environmental control regulations.
DOT Classification:
CLASS 5.1: Oxidizing material. CLASS 6.1: Poisonous material.
