=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

LD50 LC50 Mixture:LD50 (ORAL, RAT) > 2,000 MG/KG
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:NO  Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO	OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:TARGET ORGANS: EYES, SKIN, RESPIRATORY
    AND GASTRINTESTINAL TRACTS (HMIS). ACUTE - INHALE: MAY CAUSE
    IRRITATION OF MUCOUS MEMBRANES. EYE/SKIN: CAN CAUSE MODERATE
    IRRITATION. INGESTION: HARMFUL IF SWALL OWED. MAY CAUSE
    GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT IRRITATION. COMPONENTS OF PRODUCT CREATE
    FORMATION OF METHEMOGLOBIN. PREGNANT WOMEN ARE PARTICULARLY
    SENSITIVE TO METHEMOGLOBINEMIA.  MAY CAUSE A DECREASE IN BLO OD
    PRESSURE AND CYANOSIS. CHRONIC - REPEATED INGESTION OF SMALL
    AMOUNTS OF SODIUM NITRITE CAUSES DROPS IN BLOOD PRESSURE, RAPID
    PULSE, HEADACHES AND VISUAL DISTURBANCES. IT MAY REACT WITH AMINES
    IN BO DY TO FORM CARCINOGENIC NITROSAMINES.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:IT MAY REACT WITH AMINES IN THE BODY TO
    FORM CARCINOGENIC NITROSAMINES.
Effects of Overexposure:MODERATE IRRITATION, DROPS IN BLOOD PRESSURE,
    RAPID PULSE, HEADACHES AND VISUAL DISTURBANCES

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST. EYE CONTACT:
    IMMEDIATELY GENTLY FLUSH WITH CLEAN  WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES.
    HOLD EYELIDS OPEN. OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. SKIN
    CONTACT: REMOV E CONTAMINATED CLOTHING.  WASH OFF AFFECTED AREA
    IMMEDIATELY WITH PLENTY OF WATER. INHALATION: USUALLY NOT NECESSARY
    UNLESS AEROSOL/MISTS ARE GENERATED. REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF
    NECESSARY GIVE ARTIFICI AL RESPIRATION . OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION.
    INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING WITHOUT MEDICAL ADVICE. IF
    CONSCIOUS, WASH OUT MOUTH AND GIVE ONE PINT OF WATER TO DRINK.
    OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIAT ELY.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Flash Point:NOT FLAMMABLE
Autoignition Temp:Autoignition Temp Text:NA
Extinguishing Media:NOT EXPECTED TO BURN. USE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
    APPOPRIATE FOR SURROUNDING FIRE
Fire Fighting Procedures:IN CASE OF FIRE, WEAR A FULL FACE POSTIVE
    -PRESSURE SELF CONTAINED BREATHING APPPARATUS AND PROTECTIVE SUIT.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:MAY EVOLVE TOXIC GASES OR FUMES UNDER
    FIRE CONDITIONS, OXIDES OF NITROGEN. IF PRODUCT IS ALLOWED TO DRY,
    THE SODIUM NITRITE IS AN OXIDIZING AGENT AND CAN INITIATE THE
    COMBUSTION OF OTHER MATERIALS.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:WEAR CHEMICAL RESISTANT APRON, CHEMICAL SPLASH
    GOGGLES, IMPERVIOUS GLOVES AND WELLINGTON BOOTS. DO NOT ALLOW TO
    ENTER SEWERS OR WATER COURSES. IF IT DOES, INFORM AUTHORITIES.
    CONTAIN AND ABSORB WITH S AND OR VERMICULITE AND MIX WELL.
    COLLECTUP AND REMOVE TO A SAFE PLACE UNTIL DISPOSAL. DO NOT USE
    COTTON WASTE, SAWDUST OR OTHER COMBUSTIBLE SUBSTANCES AS
    ABSORBENTS, THESE MAY IGNITE WHEN DRIED OUT.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN A COOL, WELL VENTILATED AREA
    AWAY FROM INCOMPATIBLES. STORAGE FOR MORE THAN TWO YEARS IS NOT
    RECOMMENDED. EQUIPMENT FOR STORAGE SHOULD BE CONSTRUCTED FROM
    STAINLESS STEEL, PVC, BUTYL/NITRILE  RUBBER. AVOID USE OF ALUMINUM,
    COPPER, ZINC AND THEIR ALLOYS, BRASS AND GALVANIZED METALS.
Other Precautions:AVOID BREATHING VAPORS OR MISTS. DO NOT GET IN EYES,
    ON SKIN OR ON CLOTHING. WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING AND BEFORE
    EATING OR DRINKING. REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING PROMPTLY. LAUNDER
