EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: black to brown black solid.
Warning! Causes skin irritation. May cause eye
irritation and transient injury. Causes severe respiratory tract
irritation. May cause blood abnormalities. May cause central nervous
system depression. May cause liver and kidney damage. Inhalation of
fumes may cause metal-fume fever.
Target Organs: Kidneys, central nervous system,
liver, red blood cells.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation. May result in corneal injury. May cause
conjunctivitis.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation. May cause skin discoloration.
Ingestion:
May cause central nervous system depression, kidney damage, and
liver damage. May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea,
vomiting and diarrhea. May cause circulatory system failure. May
cause vascular collapse and damage.
Inhalation:
Causes respiratory tract irritation. May cause ulceration and
perforation of the nasal septum if inhaled in excessive quantities.
Inhalation of fumes may cause metal fume fever, which is
characterized by flu-like symptoms with metallic taste, fever,
chills, cough, weakness, chest pain, muscle pain and increased white
blood cell count.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis. Individuals
with Wilson's disease are unable to metabolize copper. Thus, copper
accumulates in various tissues and may result in liver, kidney, and
brain damage.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
|
Eyes:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing
before reuse.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4
cupfuls of milk or water. Get medical aid.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Get medical aid. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Antidote:
The use of d-Penicillamine as a chelating agent should be determined
by qualified medical personnel.
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. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases
may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Use
extinguishing media appropriate to the surrounding fire. Substance is
noncombustible.
Extinguishing Media:
Substance is noncombustible; use agent most appropriate to
extinguish surrounding fire.
Flash Point: Not applicable.
Autoignition Temperature: Not applicable.

Upper: Not available.
NFPA Rating:
(estimated) Health: 2; Flammability: 0; Instability: 0
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. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the
Protective Equipment section. Avoid generating dusty conditions.
Provide ventilation.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate ventilation.
Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with skin
and eyes. Avoid ingestion and inhalation.
Storage:
Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
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.
