ACUTE HAZARDS | PREVENTION | FIRE FIGHTING | |
---|---|---|---|
FIRE & EXPLOSION | Not combustible but enhances combustion of other substances. Many reactions may cause fire or explosion. | NO contact with flammables. | Use carbon dioxide, special powder. NO hydrous agents. In case of fire in the surroundings, use appropriate extinguishing media. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water. NO direct contact with water. |
AVOID ALL CONTACT! IN ALL CASES CONSULT A DOCTOR! | |||
---|---|---|---|
SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID | |
Inhalation | Cough. Laboured breathing. Shortness of breath. Sore throat. | Use ventilation, local exhaust or breathing protection. | Fresh air, rest. Half-upright position. Artificial respiration may be needed. Refer for medical attention. |
Skin | Redness. Skin burns. Pain. Blisters. | Protective gloves. Protective clothing. | Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. Refer for medical attention . |
Eyes | Redness. Pain. Severe deep burns. | Wear face shield or eye protection in combination with breathing protection. | First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention. |
Ingestion | Abdominal pain. Burning sensation. Shock or collapse. | Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. | Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Refer for medical attention . |
SPILLAGE DISPOSAL | CLASSIFICATION & LABELLING |
---|---|

TLV: (inhalable fraction and vapour): 0.0001 ppm as TWA; 0.00025 ppm as STEL; (skin); (DSEN); (RSEN); A1 (confirmed human carcinogen). EU-OEL: (as Cr): 0.1 mg/m3 as TWA |
ENVIRONMENT |
---|
It is strongly advised not to let the chemical enter into the environment. |
NOTES |
---|
Dissolves chromium trioxide, yielding a powerful oxidant. Reacts violently with fire extinguishing agents such as water. Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is suggested. The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort. Rest and medical observation are therefore essential. Do NOT take working clothes home. Rinse contaminated clothing with plenty of water because of fire hazard. |
