Fumes which may be emitted are <br />hydrogen sulfide, a highly toxic and flammable gas. Dilution of the product resulting in a high <br />dithiophosphate ratio will also evolve hydrogen sulfide vapors. <br />5.5 FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT: As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus, positive <br />pressure, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full protective gear. Dike area to prevent runoff <br />and contamination of water sources. Persons who may have been exposed to contaminated smoke <br />should be immediately examined by a physician and checked for symptoms of poisoning. <br />Section 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES <br />6.1 Small releases: Ventilate closed spaces before entering. Personnel should be thoroughly trained to <br />handle spills and releases. Wear protective gear (See Section 8). Stop leak if can be done without <br />risk. Dike spill using absorbent or impervious materials such earth, sand or clay. Clean up residual <br />material with water. Collect washing for disposal. Do not flush to drain. <br />6.2 Large releases: Wear proper protective equipment. Confine area to qualified personnel. Shut off <br />release if safe to do so. Dike spill area to prevent runoff into sewers, drains (potential explosive <br />mixtures of hydrogen sulfide in confined spaces) or surface waterways (potential aquatic toxicity). <br />Recover as much of the solution as possible. Treat remaining material as a small release (above). <br />Section 7: HANDLING and STORAGE <br />7.1 Handling: Wear proper protective equipment (See Section 8). Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Do <br />not ingest. Do not breathe vapors and mists. Use only in well ventilated areas. <br />7.2 Storage: Store in cool, dry, well ventilated areas. Do not store combustibles in the area of storage <br />vessels. Keep away from any sources of heat or flame. <br />Section 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS,; PERSONAL PROTECTION <br />8.1 RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: When respirators are required, select NIOSH/MSHA approved <br />equipment. Under normal conditions, without any other contaminant, and air-purifying respirator with <br />cartridges/canister approved for acid gases, dusts, mists and fumes, should provide protection. For <br />abnormal conditions or unknown concentrations, use a full-face positive pressure air-supplied respirator, <br />or a self contained breathing apparatus. <br />8.2 SKIN PROTECTION: Neoprene rubber gloves, apron and boots (as appropriate) should be worn to <br />prevent repeated or prolonged contact with the product. Wash any contaminated clothing prior to reuse. <br />Food, beverage and tobacco products should not be carried or consumed where this chemical is in use. <br />Before eating, drinking or smoking wash face and hands with soap and water. <br />•
