Potential Health Effects
----------------------------------
Inhalation:
Sodium Acetate may cause irritation to the respiratory tract. Symptoms may include coughing,
sore throat, labored breathing, and chest pain.
Ingestion:
Sodium Acetate large doses may produce abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting.
Skin Contact:
Sodium Acetate may cause irritation with redness and pain.
Eye Contact: Sodium Acetate contact may cause irritation, redness, and pain.
Chronic Exposure:
No information found.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:
No information found for
Sodium acetate.
4. First Aid Measures
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Get medical attention for any breathing difficulty.
Ingestion:
Give several glasses of water to drink to dilute. If large amounts of
Sodium acetate were
swallowed, get medical advice.
Skin Contact:
Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove
contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean
shoes before reuse. Get medical attention if irritation develops.
Eye Contact:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting
upper and lower eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention if irritation
persists.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Fire:
Autoignition temperature: 611C (1132F).
As with most organic solids, fire is possible at elevated temperatures or by
contact with an ignition source. Listed fire data is for the Anhydrous
Sodium acetatel.
Explosion:
Fine dust dispersed in air in sufficient concentrations, and in the presence of
an ignition source is a potential dust explosion hazard.
Fire Extinguishing Media:
Water spray, dry chemical, alcohol foam, or carbon dioxide.
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.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Remove all sources of ignition. Ventilate area of leak or spill of
Sodium acetate. Wear
appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Spills:
Clean up spills in a manner that does not disperse dust into the air. Use
non-sparking tools and equipment. Reduce airborne dust and prevent scattering by
moistening with water. Pick up spill for recovery or disposal and place in a
closed container. Small amounts of residue may be flushed to sewer with plenty
of water.
7. Handling and Storage
Keep
Sodium acetate in a
tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect
against physical damage. Isolate from any source of heat or ignition. Containers
of
Sodium acetate may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues
(dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.
8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Airborne
Exposure Limits:
None established for
Sodium acetate.
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 dust or mist is apparent and engineering
controls are not feasible, a particulate respirator (NIOSH type N95 or better
filters) may be worn. If oil particles (e.g. lubricants, cutting fluids,
glycerin, etc.) are present, use a NIOSH type R or P filter. 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 protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing.
Eye Protection:
Use chemical safety goggles. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench
facilities in work area.
