When heated to decommpeowdon,hydrogen cyanide,carbon monoxide.and ammonia may be emitted Explosion hazard if mixed
with Potassium or Potassium containing oxidizers during a fire.Explosion risk exists when fed in the same canter with Chlorine or
Chlorine Dioxide.Heating or addition of strong alkalis or bases cause'Ariirnonta flash'or amrmoniam to be converted tafreleases
as ammonia which can then forth an ignitable mixture with the air near the surface of the liquid or within the container.
Protective Equipment and Precautions for Firefighters.. .

Potential Health Effects
Skin: No harmful effects should occur.Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause skin
irritation.
Eyes: Causes eye irritation.Overexposure may cause severe comeal damage with loss
of vision.
Inhalation: Should not present a significant inhalation hazard when used under ambient
conditions. However,may cause nose and throat irritation if inhaled as a vapor or
mist.
Ingestion: May cause oral and gastrointestinal irritation.Local tissue damage,nausea,

NFPA Health 2 Flammability 0 Instability 1
IN CASE OF SPILL OR OTHER Dike and neutralize with caustic lime or soda.After neutralization with caustic,
RELEASE: solution can be diluted with large amounts of water and flushed to wastewater
system. If neutralized with lime,dry material should be placed in suitable container
for disposal. Dry neutralized material from a spillage may be suitable for disposal
in an approved landfill.Incineration is not recommended as sulfur trioxide fumes
may be produced.Contact appropriate agencies regarding disposal of any
material.Secondary containment measures should be sufficient to prevent spillage
from directly entering a water body or municipal sewage system.
Handling Ensure adequate ventilation.
Storage Store in fiberglass or HDPE tanks.Outdoor storage tanks should be suitably diked or
otherwise provided with an adequate means of secondary containment.Drum containers
should be dosed when riot in use.
