Section VI:  Health Hazard Data

Effects of Overexposure:  Not established
    Inhalation:  Low hazard for recommended handling.
    Eyes: Causes eye irritation.  
    Skin: Causes skin irritation.
    Ingestion:  Harmful if swallowed.

First Aid Procedures:
    Inhalation:  If symptomatic, remove to fresh air. Get medical attention if symptoms persist.
    Eyes:  Any material that contacts the eye should be washed out immediately with water.  Get medical attention if symptoms occur.
    Skin:  Wash with soap and copious amounts of water after each contact.  Get medical attention if symptoms occur.
    Ingestion:  Wash out mouth with water provided person is conscious.  Seek immediate medical attention.

Section VII:  Precautions for Safe Handling and Use

Ventilation:  Good ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used.
Eye/Skin Protection:  Good industrial hygiene practice should be followed which includes preventing eye contact and minimizing skin contact and inhalation.  Safety glasses with side shields are recommended in industrial operations involving chemicals.  If prolonged or repeated skin contact is necessary, impervious gloves or other protection may be required.
Spill, Leak and Disposal Procedures:  Discharge, treatment, or disposal may be subject to national, state, or local laws.  Precipitate the material as the sulfide, adjusting the pH of the solution to 7 to complete precipitation. Filter the insolubles and dispose of them as hazardous-waste. Flush solution down drain. Otherwise, absorb spill with vermiculite or other inert material, then place in a container for chemical waste.  Clean surface thoroughly to remove residual contamination.
