First-aid measures

Emergency measure - Inhalation: Remove patient to fresh air. Seek medical attention.
Emergency measure - Eyes: Rinse with water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical
attention.
Emergency measure - Skin: Wash with soap and water. Seek medical attention.
Emergency measure - Ingestion: Seek medical attention.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Water, foam, carbon dioxide and dry powder may be used.

Product arising from burning: Products of combustion may contain oxides of carbon and
sulfur.

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: Full protective clothing and a self-contained breathing
apparatus should be worn.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: Wear suitable protective clothing (see 2.3.1). Avoid dust
formation by damping down with water. Collect spill using a
suitable inert material. Transfer to labelled containers and
dispose of by incineration in accordance with local
regulations. Ventilate spill site and wash with copious
amounts of water.

Handling and storage

Handling: Observe the usual precautions when handling organic
chemicals. Ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid ingestion,
inhalation, skin and eye contact. An air-suit, impervious
gloves and rubber boots should be worn for handling large
quantities. For small quantities gloves, safety goggles,
protective clothing and a dust mask (conforming to EN149

Danger other than fire: The substance may react with acids to release sulfur dioxide
from the bisulfite salt.

Chemical reaction with water: None reported.

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Recovery for recycling is not feasible.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: None known.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Not recommended.


Containers contaminated with the substance may be disposed
of at a controlled landfill site.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Recommended method at a suitable facility. Waste gas
treatment to remove oxides of sulfur should be fitted.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: The substance should not normally be discharged to the
aqueous environment. However no adverse effect are expected
following accidental discharge.

Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: The substance will not enter the public domain.
