Zinc Bromide 7699-45-8 90 - 100% Yes
Inhalation: Inhalation can cause severe irritation of mucous membranes
and upper respiratory tract. Symptoms may include burning sensation, coughing,
wheezing, laryngitis, shortness of breath, headache, nausea and vomiting. High
concentrations may cause lung damage.
Ingestion: Swallowing can cause severe burns of the mouth, throat, and
stomach. Can cause sore throat, vomiting and diarrhea. Ingestions are usually
promptly rejected by vomiting, but sufficient absorption may occur to produce
central nervous system, eye and brain effects. Symptoms may include skin rash,
blurred vision and other eye effects, drowsiness, irritability, dizziness,
mania, hallucinations, and coma.
Skin Contact: Causes severe irritation with redness, itching and pain.
May cause burns, especially if skin is wet or moist.
Eye Contact: Can cause severe irritation or burns with eye damage.
Chronic Exposure: Repeated or prolonged exposure by any route may cause
skin rashes (bromaderma). Repeated ingestion of small amounts may cause central
nervous system depression, including depression, ataxia, psychoses, memory loss,
irritability, and headache.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: Persons suffering from
debilitation, depression, alcoholism, neurological or psychological disorders
may be more susceptible to the effects of this compound.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing,
give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical
attention immediately.
Ingestion: If swallowed, give several glasses of water to drink. Vomiting
may occur spontaneously, but DO NOT INDUCE! Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact: Wipe off excess material from skin then immediately flush
skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated
clothing and shoes. Get medical attention immediately. Wash clothing before
reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse.
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention
immediately.
Fire: Not considered to be a fire hazard. Finely
divided zinc compounds can explode in air. Specific levels have not been
described.
Explosion: Not considered to be an explosion hazard.
Fire Extinguishing Media: Use any means suitable for extinguishing
surrounding fire. Use water carefully as material will react with water to form
acidic solution.
Special Information: In the event of a fire, wear full protective
clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full
facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Keep unnecessary and unprotected people away from area of spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8.
Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical damage. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.
Airborne Exposure Limits: None established.
Ventilation System: A system of local and/or general exhaust is
recommended to keep employee exposures as low as possible. Local exhaust
ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the
contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work
area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of
Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved): For conditions of use where
exposure to the dust or mist is apparent, a half-face dust/mist respirator may
be worn. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known,
use a full-face positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING:
Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient
atmospheres.
Skin Protection: Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots,
gloves, lab coat, apron or coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
Eye Protection: Use chemical safety goggles and/or full face shield where
dusting or splashing of solutions is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and
quick-drench facilities in work area.
