miscellaneous

Appearance: white granules or powder

Stability: Stable. Incompatible with water, strong acids, strong oxidizing agents.

Toxicity: acid releases highly poisonous HCN gas. Note low LD50s below. Causes burns. , ORL-RAT LD50 6.4 mg kg-1, IPR-RAT LD50 4.3 mg kg-1

Safety: DANGER: POISON, causes cyanosis; skin, eye, lung irritation
Safety: HARMFUL TO THE ENVIRONMENT / HIGHLY TOXIC

Safety: Safety glasses, gloves, good ventilation. If there is any possibility of exposure toHCN, work only when a cyanide antidote kit is on hand.

First Aid: Eye: Irrigate immediately Skin: Soap wash immediately Breathing: Respiratory support Swallow: Medical attention immediately

Exposure Routes: inhalation, skin absorption, ingestion, skin and/or eye contact

Symptoms: Irritation eyes, skin; asphyxia; lassitude (weakness, exhaustion), headache, confusion; nausea, vomiting; increased respiratory rate; slow gasping respiration; thyroid, blood changes

Target Organs: Eyes, skin, cardiovascular system, central nervous system, thyroid, blood

Incompatibilities and Reactivities: Strong oxidizers (such as acids, acid salts, chlorates & nitrates) [Note: Absorbs moisture from the air forming a syrup.]

Personal protection and Sanitation: Skin: Prevent skin contact Eyes: Prevent eye contact Wash skin: When contaminated Remove: When wet or contaminated Change: Daily Provide: Eyewash, Quick drench
