3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION

Emergency overview:

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

Primary routes of exposure: Causes slight to mild irritation of the eyes.

Eye and skin contact: Causes light to mild irritation to the eyes and skin.

Inhalation:

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

Ingestion: Toxic if ingested.

Acute health effects: This substance can be toxic if inhaled or ingested 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.

4. FIRST AID MEASURES

Eye exposure:

• Immediately flush the eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 10-15 minutes.
• A patient may need assistance in keeping their eyelids open.
• Get immediate medical attention.

Skin Exposure:

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

Inhalation:

• Remove the patient to fresh air.
• Closely monitor the patient for signs of respiratory problems, such as difficulty in breathing, coughing, wheezing, or pain.
• Seek immediate medical assistance.

Ingestion:

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

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.

6. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Store in a tightly sealed container.

Spill and leak procedures: Small spills can be mixed with vermiculite or sodium carbonate and swept up.

Disposal: Dispose of according to local, state, and federal regulations.

7. EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION

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.

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

Skin protection: Wear protective clothing and gloves.

Ventilation: Material may form a fine dust. If possible, handle the material in an efficient fume hood.

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