Special Remarks on Fire Hazards

When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of SOx, Na2O. Decomposes on heating to form sodium sulfate

Small Spill

Use appropriate tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and dispose of according to local and regional authority requirements.

Large Spill

Use a shovel to put the material into a convenient waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and allow to evacuate through the sanitary system. Be careful that the product is not present at a concentration level above TLV. Check TLV on the MSDS and with local authorities.

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. Lab coat. Dust respirator. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent. Gloves.

Personal Protection in Case of a Large Spill

Splash goggles. Full suit. Dust respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self contained breathing apparatus should be used to avoid inhalation of the product. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist BEFORE handling this product.

Not available

Special Remarks on Chronic Effects on Humans

May affect genetic material (mutagenic) based on animal test data. May cause adverse reproductive effects based on animal test data.

Special Remarks on other Toxic Effects on Humans

Acute Potential Health Effects: Skin: May cause skin irritation. Eyes: May cause eye irritaiton. Inhalation: May cause respiratory tract irritation with coughing and wheezing. Ingestion: May be harmful if swallowed. May cause gastrointestinal tract irritation irritation with abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, violent colic, and possible gastri hemorrhaging. May affect behavior/central nervous system and cause central nervous system depression/seizures. It may also affect the cardiovasular system (hypotension, tachycardia, cardiovascular collapse), Ingestion of sulfite compounds may cause a severe allergic reaction (anaphylactoid symptoms) in sensitive individuals and some asthmatics. Chronic Potential Health Effects: Skin: Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause allergic dermatitis. Ingestion: Prolonged or repeated ingestion may affect the liver, urinary system, and metabolism (weight loss). Future exposures may also cause asthma like allergy with coughing, shortness of breath, wheezing and/or chest tightness. Inhalation: Prolonged or repeated inhalation may irritate the lungs, may cause bronchitis to develop with cough, phlegm and/or shortness of breath .
