HYDROGEN GAS 4% 75% Extinguishing Media: Foam:X Alcohol Foam:X CO2:X Dry Chemical:X Water Spray:X Other: Special Fire Fighting Procedures: FIREFIGHTERS SHOULD WEAR A SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS AND FULL PROTECTIVE GEAR. EXTINGUISHING MEDIA SHOULD BE CHOSEN BASED ON THE NATURE OF THE SURROUNDING FIRE. COOL FIRE-EXPOSED CONTAINERS WITH WATER SPRAY TO PREVENT BURSTING. Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: PROLONGED CONTACT WITH REACTIVE METALS, SUCH AS ALUMINUM, COPPER, BRASS, BRONZE, CHROMIUM, MAGNESIUM, TIN, ZINC, AND ALLOYS, CAN CAUSE THE FORMATION OF FLAMMABLE HYDROGEN GAS WHICH CAN FORM AN EXPLOSIVE MIXTURE WITH AIR. USE CARE AS SPILLS MAY BE SLIPPERY. NFPA Hazard Rating: (0=Insignificant 1=Slight 2=Moderate 3=High 4=Extreme) Health:3 Flammability :0 Instability :0 Special: SECTION V - HEALTH HAZARD DATA Threshold Limit Value: NOT ESTABLISHED. Effects of Overexposure: -Acute(Short Term Exposure) EYE CONTACT: CORROSIVE. CAUSES BURNS, CORNEAL DAMAGE, AND POSSIBLE BLINDNESS. SKIN CONTACT: CORROSIVE. CAUSES BURNS AND POSSIBLE DEEP ULCERATIONS OR SCARRING. INHALATION: CAUSES BURNS TO THE RESPIRATORY TRACT, NOSE, MOUTH, AND THROAT WITH DISCOMFORT, NASAL DISCHARGE, SNEEZING, COUGHING, RAPID HEARTBEAT, AND CHEST PAIN. INHALATION OF MIST OR VAPORS MAY CAUSE CHEMICAL PNEUMONITIS WHICH CAN CAUSE DAMAGE AND MAY BE FATAL. INGESTION: CORROSIVE. CAUSES BURNS TO THE MOUTH, THROAT, ESOPHAGUS, AND STOMACH WITH NAUSEA AND PAIN. SYMPTOMS MAY INCLUDE VOMITING OF BLOOD. BLOOD LOSS THROUGH DAMAGED TISSUE CAN LEAD TO LOW BLOOD PRESSURE AND SHOCK, AND MAY BE FATAL.

Long term hazards

Exposure) MAY CAUSE BRONCHOPNEUMONIA, CHEMICAL PNEUMONITIS, PULMONARY EDEMA, AND DELAYED SCARRING OF THE AIRWAY AND OTHER AFFECTED ORGANS. MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE ARE PRE-EXISTING RESPIRATORY AND SKIN CONDITIONS SUCH AS ASTHMA, EMPHYSEMA, AND DERMATITIS. TARGET ORGANS: NONE KNOWN. THERE IS NO PRIMARY ROUTE OF ENTRY INTO THE BODY. THE PRIMARY ROUTES OF EXPOSURE ARE SKIN AND EYE CONTACT.

Principle Routes of Exposure

Inhalation: Ingestion: Absorption: Emergency and First Aid Procedures: -Inhalation: REMOVE FROM THE AREA TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING, CLEAR THE AIRWAY AND START MOUTH TO MOUTH ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
