2.3 Other hazards

The product may have the following additional risks: Risks presented upon inhalation and contact with the skin, as well as ingestion, due to the nitroesther content. May cause headaches, nausea, dilation of peripheral blood vessels and a drop in blood pressure. May mass detonate as a result of: impact, friction, fire, spark or due to the vibration of a nearby explosion. Explosion produces a strong excess pressure and heat and may cause serious physical injury and even death. IMPORTANT: Do not use this explosive in jobs that contain or may contain flammable gases and/or powders. The smoke resulting from detonation and combustion is toxic. It contains nitrogen oxides (NOx) and odourless and colourless carbon oxides (CO and CO2). Symptoms caused by exposure to the detonation’s toxic fumes are: headache, nausea, fatigue, confusion and fainting. It may also cause irritation in the respiratory system, bronchitis, and bronchopneumonia; in serious cases, acute pulmonary oedema and death may result. IMPORTANT: In surface and interior explosions these residual fumes may migrate underground to confined spaces (including tunnels, wells, basements, etc.) where they accumulate and can remain for a long period of time. To enter these locations after an explosion, always follow the rules for entry into confined spaces and always verify that there are no toxic fumes present before entering. Rock blasting may produce large-sized fragments, in non-stable positions, with risks of landslides and aerial projections.
