Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
SYMPTOMS: Symptoms of exposure to this compound include irritation of the skin, peripheral nerve sensory changes, somnolence, anorexia, sweating, respiratory depression, urine changes and toxic psychosis. Other symptoms include dizziness, paresthesias, fatal hepatitis, metabolic acidosis, convulsions and coma. It can cause headache, muscle twitching, deafness, polyneuritis, paralysis and pyridoxine deficiency. It can also cause nausea, vomiting, atropinic signs such as mydriasis, brightly colored lights and other visual hallucinations, tachycardia, peripheral neuropathy, other central nervous system reactions, stupor, exhaustion, urinary retention, liver damage, bone marrow damage and death. Exposure may cause fatigue, weakness, malaise, toxic encephalopathy, optic neuritis, optic atrophy, memory impairment, epigastric distress, elevated serum transaminases (SGOT, SGPT), bilirubinemia, bilirubinuria, jaundice, agranulocytosis hemolytic anemia, sideroblastic anemia, aplastic anemia, thrombocytopenia, eosinophilia, fever, skin eruptions (morbilliform, maculopapular, purpuric or exfoliative), lymphadenopathy, vasculitis, pellagra, hyperglycemia, gynecomastia, rheumatic syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus-like syndrome, blurred vision, respiratory distress, central nervous system depression, severe and intractable seizures and acetonuria. Exposure may also cause gastrointestinal effects, liver necrosis, slight euphoria, irritability, nervousness, insomnia, excessive dreaming and giddiness. Other symptoms include peripheral neuritis, burning of the feet, reduction of central vision and papilledema. Hyperreflexia, vertigo, ataxia, tinnitus, hepatic reactions, hypersensitivity reactions and lethargy may occur. Constipation, difficulty in starting urination, dryness of the mouth, mood-elevating effect and mental disturbances, ranging from minor personality changes to major mental derangements. This compound may also cause skin rash, urticaria, arthritic symptoms such as back pain, bilateral proximal interphalangeal joint involvement, arthralgia of the knees, elbows and wrists and "shoulder-hand" syndrome; separation of ideas and reality, florid psychosis, loss of self-control, excessive sedation, incoordination and methemoglobinemia. ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: This compound is an irritant of the skin, eyes, mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract. It is harmful by ingestion, inhalation and skin absorption. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, ammonia and partially oxidized hydrocarbons. (NTP, 1992)
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Emergency and supportive measures; 1. Maintain an open airway and assist ventilation if necessary. 2. Treat coma, seizures, and metabolic acidosis if they occur. Administer diazepam, 0.1-0.2 mg/kg IV, for treatment of seizures.
Extinguishing media
Fires involving this material can be controlled with a dry chemical, carbon dioxide or Halon extinguisher. A water spray may also be used. (NTP, 1992)
Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical
This chemical is combustible. (NTP, 1992)
Advice for firefighters
Use water spray, powder, foam, carbon dioxide.
NFPA 704
| HEALTH | 2 | Intense or continued but not chronic exposure could cause temporary incapacitation or possible residual injury (e.g. diethyl ether, ammonium phosphate, iodine) | |
| FIRE | 0 | Materials that will not burn under typical fire conditions, including intrinsically noncombustible materials such as concrete, stone, and sand. Materials that will not burn in air when exposed to a temperature of 820 °C (1,500 °F) for a period of 5 minutes.(e.g. Carbon tetrachloride) | |
| REACT | 0 | Normally stable, even under fire exposure conditions, and is not reactive with water (e.g. helium,N2) | |

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
Collect and arrange disposal. Keep the chemical in suitable and closed containers for disposal. Remove all sources of ignition. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Adhered or collected material should be promptly disposed of, in accordance with appropriate laws and regulations.
Precautions for safe handling
NO open flames. Handling in a well ventilated place. Wear suitable protective clothing. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Use non-sparking tools. Prevent fire caused by electrostatic discharge steam.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Cool. Well closed.Store below 40 deg C (104 deg C), preferably between 15 and 30 deg C (59 and 86 deg F), unless otherwise specified by manufacturer. Store in a tight, light-resistant container. Protect from freezing. NOTE: Crystallization may occur at low temperatures. Upon warming to room temperature, the crystals will redissolve.
