Safety Precautions


  1. Toxicity Hazards:
    · Highly toxic substance, lethal dose for adults is approximately 2-3 grams.
    · Harmful if inhaled, swallowed, or absorbed through skin.
    · May cause methemoglobinemia, leading to tissue hypoxia.

  2. Chemical Hazards:
    · May form explosive compounds when mixed with ammonium salts.
    · Contact with strong acids liberates toxic nitrogen oxide gases.
    · Oxidizing properties, may intensify fire when mixed with combustibles.

  3. Handling Protection:
    · Wear respirator, chemical safety goggles, impermeable gloves, and protective clothing.
    · Avoid dust formation, prevent inhalation and skin contact.
    · Ensure adequate local exhaust and general ventilation.
    · Do not eat, drink, or smoke in work areas.

  4. Storage & Transportation:
    · Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated dedicated area.
    · Keep containers tightly sealed to prevent deliquescence.
    · Store separately from acids, ammonium salts, reducing agents, combustibles, and foodstuffs.
    · Protect from rain, moisture, and package damage during transportation.

  5. Emergency Treatment:
    · Skin contact: Remove contaminated clothing and rinse with plenty of running water.
    · Eye contact: Lift eyelids and rinse with running water or physiological saline.
    · Inhalation: Move to fresh air immediately and keep airway clear.
    · Ingestion: Drink plenty of warm water, induce vomiting, seek immediate medical attention.
