WARNING

Precautionary statements

WARNING! Flammable Liquid/Solid. Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open May form combustible dust concentrations in air. flames, and other ignition sources. No smoking. Ground and bond container and receiving equipment. Use explosion-proof equipment if dust cloud can occur. Wear protective gloves, clothing and eye protection (and face protection where appropriate). IN CASE OF FIRE: Use dry sand, etc. on small fires. Use water spray, fog or foam on larger fires. Emergency Overview: An amber-to-yellow liquid or a bright yellow solid. . Sulphur is relatively non-toxic and poses little immediate health hazard to the environment or emergency response personnel unless it is involved in a fire. Both solid and liquid sulphur are combustible and generate large quantities of toxic and irritating sulphur dioxide gas on burning. In an emergency response situation involving solid sulphur cake or powder take all necessary precautions to avoid ignition of the product. Molten sulphur is hot enough to cause serious thermal burns to unprotected skin. Wear full protective clothing and positive pressure self- contained breathing apparatus in emergency situations involving burning sulphur.

Potential health effects

Sulphur is relatively non-toxic to humans, causing at most only mild local irritation to the eyes, nose, throat and upper airways. However, under certain circumstances it may release toxic hydrogen sulphide and/or sulphur dioxide gases.

Environmental effects

This product has some potential to pose ecological risks to organisms in both aquatic and terrestrial environments. Discharge of the product to soil and water should be prevented (see Ecological Information, Section 12).
