First-aid measures

Description of first aid measuresGeneral advice Consult a physician. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.If inhaledIf breathed in, move person into fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Consult a physician.In case of skin contactWash off with soap and plenty of water. Take victim immediately to hospital. Consult a physician.In case of eye contactFlush eyes with water as a precaution.If swallowedNever give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Rinse mouth with water. Consult a physician.Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayedCough, Shortness of breath, Headache, Nausea, Vomiting, To the best of our knowledge, the chemical, physical, and toxicological properties have not been thoroughly investigated., Prolonged exposure to iodides may produce iodism in sensitive individuals. Symptoms of exposure include: skin rash, running nose, headache and irritation of the mucous membrane. For severe cases the skin may show pimples, boils, hives, blisters and black and blue spots. Iodides are readily diffused across the placenta. Neonatal deaths from respiratory distress secondary to goiter have been reported. Iodides have been known to cause drug-induced fevers, which are usually of short duration.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing mediaSuitable extinguishing mediaUse water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.Special hazards arising from the substance or mixtureCarbon oxides, nitrogen oxides (NOx), Hydrogen chloride gas, Hydrogen iodidePrecautions for fire-fightersWear self contained breathing apparatus for fire fighting if necessary.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency proceduresWear respiratory protection. Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathing vapors, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Avoid breathing dust.Environmental precautionsPrevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains.Methods and materials for containment and cleaning upPick up and arrange disposal without creating dust. Sweep up and shovel. Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handlingAvoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols.Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed.Normal measures for preventive fire protection.Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilitiesStore in cool place. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place.

Exposure controls / personal protection

EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTIONControl parametersComponents with workplace control parametersExposure controlsAppropriate engineering controlsAvoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Wash hands before breaks and immediately after handling the product.Personal protective equipmentEye/face protectionFace shield and safety glasses Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).Skin protectionHandle 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 ProtectionComplete suit protecting against chemicals, The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace.Respiratory protectionWhere risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face particle respirator type N99 (US) or type P2 (EN 143) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).

Stability and reactivity

Stability: The product is stable.Conditions of Instability: Excess heat, incompatible materials, lightIncompatibility with various substances: Reactive with oxidizing agents, acids.Corrosivity: Non-corrosive in presence of glass.Special Remarks on Reactivity:Light Sensitive. Clioquinol darkens on exposure to light Incompatible with acid anhydrides, and acid chlorides. When heated to decompositon, it emits very toxic fumes of hydrogen chloride, hydrogen iodide, and nitrogen oxides.Polymerization: Will not occur.
