3.  HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION

Acute health effects: This substance can be toxic if inhaled or swallowed and may cause harm to the eyes and respiratory system.

Chronic health effects: Prolonged exposure to dust at above regulatory levels may increase the likelihood of radiation-induced diseases because of alpha emission and radon gas. May increase the risk of cancer of the skin and lymphatic system.

Emergency overview:

• Toxic by inhalation and ingestion.
• Irritating to skin, eyes, and respiratory tract.
• May cause cancer.

Primary routes of exposure: Ingestion and inhalation.

Ingestion: Toxic if swallowed.

Inhalation:

• Toxic by inhalation.
• Irritating to the nose mucous membranes and respiratory tract.

Skin and eye contact: Causes slight to mild irritation of the eyes.

 4.  FIRST AID MEASURES

Eye exposure:

• Immediately flush your eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 10-15 minutes.
• Get immediate medical attention.

Skin exposure:

• Wash the affected area with water.
• Remove contaminated clothes.
• Seek medical assistance if irritation persists.

After inhalation:

• Move the victim to an area with fresh air.
• Closely monitor the victim for signs of respiratory problems, such as difficulty in breathing, coughing, wheezing, or pain. In such cases seek medical assistance.

After ingestion:

• Seek medical attention immediately.
• Give the victim water (only if conscious).
• Induce vomiting only if directed by medical personnel.

Firefighting Measures

• Flash point: Not applicable.
• Autoignition Temperature: None.
• Explosion limits: None.
• Extinguishing medium: Not applicable.
• Special firefighting procedures: None.

Accidental release measures: Small spills can be mixed with vermiculite or sodium carbonate and swept up.

5. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Precautions for safe handling:

• Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing.
• When using do not eat, drink, or smoke.
• Avoid Breathing dust.
• Wash thoroughly after handling.
• Use only with adequate ventilation.

Conditions for safe storage:

• Store in the radioactive materials area.
• Keep the storage container tightly closed.

• Observe all federal, state, and local regulations regarding the storage of this substance.

6. EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION

Always wear approved safety glasses when handling a chemical substance in the laboratory.

Clothing: Employees handling radioactive substances should wear disposable overgarments, including head and foot coverings. These garments are also recommended even if the employee uses a “glove box” containment system. Certain clothing fibers may be useful in dosimetry so clothing should be kept.

This material may form a fine dust.

If possible, handle the material in an efficient fume hood.

A respirator should be worn if ventilation is not available. (The use of respirators requires a Respirator Protection Program to comply with 29 CFR 1910.134.).

At any detectable concentration:  Any self-contained breathing apparatus with a full facepiece operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode.

Any supplied-air respirator with a full facepiece operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode or other positive-pressure mode with an auxiliary self-contained breathing apparatus operated in pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode.

Escape – any air-purifying, full-facepiece respirator with a high-efficiency particulate filler.

Any appropriate escape-type, self-contained breathing apparatus.

Firefighting and Other Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health Conditions

Use any self-contained breathing apparatus with a full facepiece respirator and a high-efficiency particulate filter.

Use any-supplied air respirator with a full facepiece operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode or other positive-pressure modes with an auxiliary self-contained breathing apparatus operated in pressure-demand or other positive-pressure modes.
