SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES

Description of First Aid Measures
After Inhalation: Have someone contact a physician or poison control center immediately. If conscious but symptoms (nausea, difficult breathing, dizziness, etc.) are evident, first responders may give oxygen. If consciousness is impaired or patient is unconscious, oxygen and amyl nitrite should be administered by trained qualified medical squads. Amyl nitrite is given by breaking an ampoule in a gauze pad and inserting into the lip of the oxygen resuscitator mask for 15 seconds, and then taking it away for 15 seconds. Repeat this 5 or 6 times. If necessary, use a fresh ampoule every 3 minutes until the patient regains consciousness (usually 1 - 4 ampoules). Administer oxygen continuously. Guard against the ampoule entering the patient’s mouth. Move the patient to an uncontaminated area. Keep the patient warm and calm.
After Skin Contact: Have someone contact a physician or poison control center immediately. Immediately flush with large quantities of water for up to 5 minutes after contact and completely remove all contaminated clothing including shoes and boots. Flushing with water for up to 5 minutes is generally sufficient to effectively remove cyanide from the patient’s skin. Rescue workers should protect
 themselves against exposure.
After Eye Contact: Have someone contact a physician or poison control center immediately. Immediately flush eyes with copious amounts of water for up to 5 minutes while holding the eyelids apart. Eye contact will require further evaluation and possibly treatment. Continue rinsing the eyes during transport to the hospital.
After Ingestion: Have someone call a physician or poison control center immediately. If conscious but symptoms (nausea, difficult breathing, dizziness, etc.) are evident, first responders may give oxygen. If consciousness is impaired, administer oxygen and amyl nitrite as directed under Inhalation section. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Do not induce vomiting as this could interfere with resuscitator use. If the patient is conscious, trained and qualified medical squads may give activated charcoal slurry. (50 grams of activated carbon slurried in 400 ml of water). Give 5 ml/1 kg. of wt. – about 350 ml for an average adult.

Most Important Symptoms and Effects, Both Acute and Delayed
After Inhalation: May cause weakness, dizziness, headache, vomiting, unconsciousness, and death.
After Skin Contact: May cause “cyanide rash” with itching with macular, papular, and vesicular eruptions. There is often secondary infection.
After Eye Contact: Causes severe irritation.
After Ingestion: Very poisonous. Ingestion may cause death or permanent injury from small quantities. Ingestion may cause an increase in the depth and rate of respiration. Cardiac irregularities often occur. Death is due to respiratory arrest of central origin. Signs are blue lips, lowered blood pressure, unconsciousness, and
 convulsions. Other signs may include salivation, nausea without vomiting, anxiety, confusion, vertigo, giddiness, lower‐jaw stiffness, opisthotonos, paralysis, coma, and bradycardia.

Indication of Any Immediate Medical Attention and Special Treatment Needed
If exposed or concerned, get medical advice and attention. If you feel unwell, seek medical advice (show the label where possible).


SECTION 5: FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES

Suitable Extinguishing Media
Use media appropriate for surrounding fire such as foam, extinguishing powder, carbon dioxide, or water spray. In case of fire, cool endangered containers with water spray.

Unsuitable Extinguishing Media
High pressure water jet.

Specific Hazards Arising From the Substance or Mixture
Will release toxic fumes of cyanide and hydrogen chloride under fire conditions.
 
Advice for Firefighters
Precautionary Measures: Do not inhale combustion gasses.
Protection During Firefighting: For fires in enclosed areas, wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear.


SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal Precautions, Protective Equipment, and Emergency Procedures
Wear appropriate skin, eye, and respiratory protection. Do not eat, drink, or smoke while cleaning up. Ensure adequate ventilation.

Environmental Precautions
Prevent spills and rinsings from entering storm or sanitary sewers or other waterways and contact with soil.

Methods and Material for Containment and Cleaning Up
Wear appropriate personal protective gear including eye, skin, and respiratory protection. Contain spilled material and collect by absorption or other suitable method. Flush spill area with water. Do not allow this material or its rinsings to enter storm or sanitary sewers or other waterways.


SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE

Precautions for Safe Handling
Avoid contact with eyes. Avoid prolonged, repeated skin contact and breathing mists or vapors. Use in a well-ventilated area. Do not empty waste into sanitary drains.

Conditions for Safe Storage, Including Any Incompatibilities
Store in a cool, dry area. Use with adequate ventilation. Keep container tightly closed when not in use. Store only in the original container.
