ACUTE HAZARDS | PREVENTION | FIRE FIGHTING | |
---|---|---|---|
FIRE & EXPLOSION | Not combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. | See Chemical Dangers. | In case of fire in the surroundings, use appropriate extinguishing media. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water. |
PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST! AVOID ALL CONTACT! | |||
---|---|---|---|
SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID | |
Inhalation | Cough. Sore throat. | Use closed system or ventilation (not if powder). | Fresh air, rest. |
Skin | Protective gloves. Protective clothing. | Wear protective gloves when administering first aid. Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. | |
Eyes | Wear safety spectacles 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 | Rest. Refer for medical attention . |
SPILLAGE DISPOSAL | CLASSIFICATION & LABELLING |
---|---|
Personal protection: particulate filter respirator adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Sweep spilled substance into covered containers. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Carefully collect remainder. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations. |

ENVIRONMENT |
---|
The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms. The substance may cause long-term effects in the aquatic environment. It is strongly advised not to let the chemical enter into the environment. |
NOTES |
---|
The name nickel sulfide is used to describe different compounds with varying composition. Other CAS numbers used are: 12035-71-1 (heazlewoodite), 12035-51-7 (mononickel disulfide), 16812-54-7 (mononickel monosulfide). Anyone who has shown symptoms of sensitization due to this substance should avoid all further contact with nickel, nickel compounds and other metal compounds of e.g. copper, chromium and cobalt. Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is suggested. Isolate contaminated clothing by sealing in a bag or other container. Do NOT take working clothes home. |
