2 Methyl orange Page Number: 2 Section 3. Hazards Identification Potential Acute Health Effects Potential Chronic Health Effects Hazardous in case of ingestion. Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of eye contact (irritant), of inhalation. Severe over-exposure can result in death. CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS: MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Mutagenic for bacteria and/or yeast. TERATOGENIC EFFECTS: DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Repeated exposure to a highly toxic material may produce general deterioration of health by an accumulation in one or many human organs. Section 4. First Aid Measures Eye Contact Skin Contact Serious Skin Contact Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 5 minutes. Cold water may be used. WARM water MUST be used. Get medical attention if irritation occurs. Wash with soap and water. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Get medical attention if irritation develops. Inhalation Serious Inhalation Ingestion Serious Ingestion If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention. Evacuate the victim to a safe area as soon as possible. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Seek medical attention. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. Get medical attention immediately. Section 5. Fire and Explosion Data Flammability of the Product Auto-Ignition Temperature Flash Points Flammable Limits Products of Combustion Fire Hazards in Presence of Various Substances Explosion Hazards in Presence of Various Substances Fire Fighting Media and Instructions Fire Hazards May be combustible at high temperature. These products are carbon oxides (CO, CO2), nitrogen oxides (NO, NO2...). Some metallic oxides. Slightly flammable to flammable in presence of heat. Non-flammable in presence of shocks. Risks of explosion of the product in presence of mechanical impact: Risks of explosion of the product in presence of static discharge: SMALL FIRE: Use DRY chemical powder. LARGE FIRE: Use water spray, fog or foam. Do not use water jet. As with most organic solids, fire is possible at elevated temperatures or by contact with an ignition source. Explosion Hazards Fine dust dispersed in air in sufficient concentrations, and in the presences of an ignition source is a potential dust explosion hazard.

3 Methyl orange Page Number: 3 Section 6. Accidental Release Measures Small Spill Large Spill Use appropriate tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal container. Poisonous solid. Stop leak if without risk. Do not get water inside container. Do not touch spilled material. Use water spray to reduce vapors. Prevent entry into sewers, basements or confined areas; dike if needed. Eliminate all ignition sources. Call for assistance on disposal. Section 7. Handling and Storage Precautions Storage Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Ground all equipment containing material. Do not ingest. Do not breathe dust. Wear suitable protective clothing. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. If ingested, seek medical advice immediately and show the container or the label. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Keep away from incompatibles such as oxidizing agents. Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Section 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection Engineering Controls Personal Protection Personal Protection in Case of a Large Spill Exposure Limits Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If user operations generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne contaminants below the exposure limit. Splash goggles. Lab coat. Dust respirator. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent. Gloves. Splash goggles. Full suit. Dust respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self contained breathing apparatus should be used to avoid inhalation of the product. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist BEFORE handling this product.

Toxicological Information Routes of Entry Toxicity to Animals Chronic Effects on Humans Other Toxic Effects on Humans Toxicity to Animals Chronic Effects on Humans other Toxic Effects on Humans Inhalation. Ingestion. Acute oral toxicity (LD50): 60 mg/kg [Rat]. MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Mutagenic for bacteria and/or yeast. Hazardous in case of ingestion. Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of inhalation. May affect genetic material (mutagenic) Acute Potential Health Effects: Skin: May cause skin irritation. Eyes: Dust may cause eye irritation. This product contains an anionic dye. Similar dyes have not caused injury to the cornea or conjunctiva in documented exposure cases with human or rabbit eyes. Inhalation: Dust may cause respiratory tract irritation, Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed. May cause gastrointestinal tract irritation with nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. The toxicological properties of this substance have not been fully investigated. Section 2. Ecological Information Ecotoxicity BOD5 and COD Products of Biodegradation Toxicity of the Products of Biodegradation the Products of Biodegradation Possibly hazardous short term degradation products are not likely. However, long term degradation products may arise. The products of degradation are less toxic than the product itself.
