NOTE TO PHYSICIAN
Based on the individual reactions of the patient, the physician's judgement should be used to control symptoms
and clinical condition.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Not expected to burn. Use extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding fire.

Not applicable.

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD

May evolve oxides of carbon (COx) under fire conditions. May evolve oxides of nitrogen (NOx) under fire
conditions. If product is allowed to dry, the sodium nitrite is an oxidizing agent and can initiate the combustion of
other materials.

SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR FIRE FIGHTING

In case of fire, wear a full face positive-pressure self contained breathing apparatus and protective suit.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
Restrict access to area as appropriate until clean-up operations are complete. Use personal protective
equipment recommended in Section 8 (Exposure Controls/Personal Protection). Stop or reduce any leaks if it is
safe to do so. Ventilate spill area if possible. Do not touch spilled material. Ensure clean-up is conducted by
trained personnel only. Have emergency equipment (for fires, spills, leaks, etc.) readily available. Notify
appropriate government, occupational health and safety and environmental authorities.

ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS
Do not contaminate surface water.

METHODS FOR CLEANING UP

SMALL SPILLS: Soak up spill with absorbent material. Place residues in a suitable, covered, properly labeled
container. Wash affected area. LARGE SPILLS: Contain liquid using absorbent material, by digging trenches
or by diking. Reclaim into recovery or salvage drums or tank truck for proper disposal. Wash site of spillage
thoroughly with water. Contact an approved waste hauler for disposal of contaminated recovered material.
Dispose of material in compliance with regulations indicated in Section 13 (Disposal Considerations).

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING

Avoid eye and skin contact. Do not take internally. Do not get in eyes, on skin, on clothing. Have emergency
equipment (for fires, spills, leaks, etc.) readily available. Ensure all containers are labeled. Keep the containers
closed when not in use. Use with adequate ventilation.

CONTROL PARAMETERS

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS

Exposure guidelines have not been established for this product. Available exposure limits for the substance(s)
are shown below.

Country/Source Substance(s) Basis ppm mg/m3

* A skin notation refers to the potential significant contribution to overall exposure by the cutaneous route,
including mucous membranes and the eyes.

APPROPRIATE ENGINEERING CONTROLS

General ventilation is recommended. Use general ventilation with local exhaust ventilation.

PERSONAL PROTECTION

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
An approved respirator must be worn if the occupational exposure limit is likely to be exceeded. An organic
vapor cartridge with dust/mist prefilter may be used. In event of emergency or planned entry into unknown
concentrations a positive pressure, full-facepiece SCBA should be used. If respiratory protection is required,
institute a complete respiratory protection program including selection, fit testing, training, maintenance and
inspection.

EYE PROTECTION
Wear chemical splash goggles.

HAND PROTECTION
PVC OR NITRILE GLOVES Gloves should be replaced immediately if signs of degradation are observed.
Breakthrough time not determined as preparation, consult PPE manufacturers.

SKIN PROTECTION
Wear standard protective clothing.

HYGIENE RECOMMENDATIONS
Use good work and personal hygiene practices to avoid exposure. Keep an eye wash fountain available. Keep
a safety shower available. If clothing is contaminated, remove clothing and thoroughly wash the affected area.

10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY

STABILITY
Stable under normal conditions.

HAZARDOUS REACTIONS
Hazardous polymerization will not occur.

CONDITIONS TO AVOID
Extremes of temperature Do not allow product to evaporate to dryness. Dried product residue can act as an
oxidizer.

INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS
Contact with reducing agents (e.g. hydrazine, sulfites, sulfide, aluminum or magnesium dust) may generate heat,
fires, explosions and toxic vapors. Do not mix with amines. Sodium nitrite can react with certain amines to
produce N-nitrosamines, many of which are cancer-causing agents to laboratory animals. Contact with strong
acids (e.g. sulfuric, phosphoric, nitric, hydrochloric, chromic, sulfonic) may generate heat, splattering or boiling
and toxic vapors.
