FIRST AID MEASURES
Description
of first aid measures
General
advice Consult a
physician. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.
If
inhaled If breathed in,
move person into fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration.
Consult a physician.
In
case of skin contact Wash
off with soap and plenty of water. Consult a physician.
In
case of eye contact Flush
eyes with water as a precaution.
If
swallowed Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Rinse mouth with water. Consult a
physician.
Most
important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed Symptoms
of chronic bismuth toxicity in humans consists of decreased appetite, weakness,
rheumatic
pain,
diarrhea, fever, metal line on the gums, foul breathe, gingivitis, and
dermatitis. Jaundice and
conjunctival
hemorrhage are rare, but have been reported. Bismuth nephropathy with
proteinuria may
occur.
The kidney is the site of highest concentration with the liver being
considerably lower. Bismuth does pass into the amniotic fluid and into the
fetus., Kidney injury may occur., Liver injury may occur., To the best of our
knowledge, the chemical, physical, and toxicological properties have not been
thoroughly investigated.

Control
parameters
Components
with workplace control parameters
Exposure
controls
Appropriate
engineering controls
Handle
in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wash hands
before breaks and
at
the end of workday.
Personal
protective equipment
Eye/face
protection Use equipment
for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards
such
as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).
Skin
protection Handle with
gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal
technique
(without
touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose
of
contaminated
gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory
practices.
Wash
and dry hands.
The
selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive
89/686/EEC and
the
standard EN 374 derived from it.
Body
Protection Choose body
protection in relation to its type, to the concentration and amount of dangerous
substances,
and to the specific work-place., The type of protective equipment must be
selected
according
to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific
workplace.
Respiratory
protection Respiratory
protection is not required. Where protection from nuisance levels of dusts are
desired,
use
type N95 (US) or type P1 (EN 143) dust masks. Use respirators and components
tested and
approved
under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).
