Section III Hazards Identification:

• Accute Health Effects:  ACUTE EFFECTS: May be fatal if inhaled, swallowed, or absorbed through skin. Material is extremely destructive to tissue of the mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract, eyes and skin. Inhalation may be fatal as a result of spasm, inflammation and edema of the larynx and bronchi, chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary edema. Symptoms of exposure may include burning sensation, coughing, wheezing, laryngitis, and shortness of breath, headache, nausea and vomiting. May cause allergic reaction. Can cause CNS depression. May cause convulsions.EXPOSURE CAN CAUSE: Damage to the eyes. Damage to the liver. Damage to the kidneys. Damage to the lungs. Blood effectsACUTE INHALATION: Inhalation may irritate the respiratory tract. Symptoms may include coughing, shortness of breath, sore throat and runny nose. If sufficient amounts are inhaled and absorbed, symptoms may resemble those in acute ingestion.ACUTE SKIN CONTACT: Skin contact may cause irritation with symptoms of redness, swelling, itching and pain.ACUTE EYE CONTACT: Eye contact may cause irritation with symptoms of redness, swelling, itching, tearing and pain.ACUTE INGESTION: Ingestion may cause gastroenteritis (inflammation of the lining membrane of the stomach and intestines) with abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Systemic effects may follow and may include ringing of the ears, dizziness, elevated blood pressure, blurred vision and tremors
• Chronic Health Effects:  Carcinogen. May alter genetic material
• Accute Health Effects:  Hydrazine is listed by NTP (sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity from studies in experimental animals), IARC (Possibly Carcinogenic to Humans: Limited evidence in humans in the absence of sufficient evidence in experimental animals.) and regulated as a carcinogen by NIOSH (carcinogen defined with no further categorization).

Section IV. First Aid Measures

• First Aid For Eye:  In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician.
• First Aid For Skin:  In case of contact, flush skin with water. Wash clothing before reuse. Call a physician if irritation occurs.
• First Aid For Inhalation:  If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician.
• First Aid For Ingestion:  If swallowed, call a physician immediately.

Section V. Fire and Explosion Data

• Fire/Explosion Hazards:  Move container from the fire area, if possible. Cool fire exposed containers with water well after the fire is out. For massive fire in a storage area use an unmanned hose holder. Flooding is best technique.

Section VI. Accidental Release Measures

• Spill Or Leak Procedures: Utilize recommended protective clothing and equipment. Clean spills in a manner that does not disperse dust into the air. Spill area can be washed with water. Collect wash water for approved disposal. Keep from entering water or ground water

Section VIII. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

• Eye Protection: Safety glasses or goggles.
• Skin Protection: PVC gloves with impervious boots, apron or coveralls. Employees should wash their hands and face before eating, drinking or using tobacco products.
• Respirator: Work ambient concentrations should be monitored and if the recommended exposure limit is exceeded, a NIOSH/MSHA approved vapor respirator must be worn.
• Ventilation: Use local ventilation if dusting is a problem, to maintain air levels below the recommended exposure limit.
• Additional Protective Measures: Emergency showers and eye wash stations should be available. Educate and train employees in the safe use and handling of hazardous chemicals.
