Use appropriate extinguishing media for material that is supplying fuel. SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Wear a NIOSH/MSHA approved self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. Evacuate residents who are downwind offire. Prevent unauthorized entry to fire area. Dike area to prevent runoffand contamination ofwater sources. Persons who may have been exposed to contaminated smoke should be immediately relieved from duty and checked for symptoms of poisoning. These should not be mistaken for heat exhaustion or smoke inhalation. See HEALTH HAZARD DATA/FIRST AID PROCEDURES Section, for symptoms of poisoning, first aid procedures and notes to physician. UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Keep fire-exposed containers cool with water spray. A fire may warm the contents causing a rise in vapor pressure and possible container rupture. Do not apply water directly to sulfur dioxide leaks. Contain spilled material to prevent entry to streams or sewers. REACTIVITY DATA: STABILITY: Stable under normal and fire conditions. CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Elevated temperatures can cause containers to burst. MATERIALS TO AVOID: As a liquid, reacts violently with alkali, oxidizing agents, powdered potassium and sodium metals. Reacts with water and steam to form corrosive sulfurous acid. Reacts with chlorates to form unstable chlorine dioxide. Moist gas corrodes most metals. HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: None.

(4) Sulfur dioxide is not designated as a carcinogen by IARC, NIP, ACGIH or OSHA. SIGNS OF POISONING: Acute poisoning from sulfur dioxide is rare because the gas is easily detected. It is so irritating that contact cannot be tolerated. Symptoms include coughing, hoarseness, sneezing, tearing, and breathing difficulty. However, workers who cannot escape high accidental exposure may suffer severe pulmonary damage which can be fetal. EFFECTS OF SINGLE OVEREXPOSURE: SWALLOWING: Swallowing liquid sulfur dioxide will bum the mouth, esophagus, and stomach due to the freezing effect ofthe liquid. Ingestion is not likely to occur. INHALATION: Breathing sulfur dioxide gas will irritate the eyes, throat and upper respiratory system. Concentrations of 5-10 ppm cause irritation ofthe nose and throat. Higher concentrations cause irritant coughing. Concentrations of 50-100 are considered dangerous. Exposures to 400-500 ppm are life-threatening. A small percentage ofpersons with asthma may suffer severe asthma-like reactions of following exposure to relatively low levels of sulfur dioxide. SKIN CONTACT: Contact with liquid sulfur dioxide causes bums (frostbite). EYE CONTACT: Liquid causes comeal bums. Concentrations ofgas above 20 ppm causes lacrimation (tears) and irritation of eyes. EFFECTS OF REPEATED OVEREXPOSURE: Repeated exposure ofanimals to sulfur dioxide can produce a thickening ofthe mucous layer in the trachea and an increase in goblet cells and mucous glands similar to changes observed in human chronic bronchitis. (2) Epidemiology studies indicate that chronic exposure at levels above 2 ppm can cause respiratory disease and reduced pulmonary function. (2) Chronic effects include inflammation ofthe lining ofthe nose, dry throat and cough. (3) OTHER EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE: No other effects known. EXISTING MEDICAL CONDITIONS POSSIBLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Skin irritation may be aggravated in individuals with existing skin lesions. Breathing ofgas may aggravate acute or chronic asthma and chronic pulmonary disease such as emphysema and bronchitis. ASARCO ELP OO13510 EMERGENCY AND FIRST AH) PROCEDURES: Remove the patient from immediate source ofexposure and assure that the individual is breathing. Ifnot breathing, use artificial respiration. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. SWALLOWING: Ifvictim is conscious and alert, give two or more glasses of water or milk to drink. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING! Ifvomiting occurs, give fluids again. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN: Wash all affected areas with plenty ofsoap and water while under a safety shower for at least IS minutes, while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Do not attempt to neutralize with chemical agents. Seek medical attention immediately. Discard any contamination clothing and shoes. INHALATION: Remove victim to fresh air. Ifbreathing has stopped, administer artificial respiration. Ifheart beat is absent, start CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation). GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. EYES: In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty ofwater for at least IS minutes using an eyewash fountain, ifavailable. lift upper and lower lids and rinse well under them. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. NOTES TO PHYSICIAN: No specific antidote is available. All treatments should be based on observed signs and symptoms of distress in the patient. Consideration should be given to the possibility that overexposure to materials other than this product may have occured. PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE STEPS TO BE TAKEN IF MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Personnel involved in cleaning up a spill or stopping a leak should wear gas masks and/or self-contained breathing apparatus and impervious protective clothing. Small leaks may be readily located by spraying the potential leak area with ammonium hydroxide solution. A dense, white fume will form if sulfur dioxide is present. Locate and control leakage by closing or capping valves. Spill must be contained and prevented from entering streams or sewers. NEVER APPLY WATER TO A SULFUR DIOXIDE LEAK! Water causes sulfur dioxide to be more corrosive. A leaking sulfur dioxide container should be shifted so that gaseous rather than liquid material will escape. A small liquid spill or leak can be handled routinely by passing sulfur dioxide through an alkaline neutralizing solution. One pound of sulfur dioxide is equivalent to about two pounds oflime or one and one-half pounds of caustic soda. Large spills should be handled according to a predetermined plan. For assistance in developing a plan, contact the Technical Service, 1-800-642-4200. WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Absorbed sulfur dioxide solution must be oxidized to inert sulfate salts before disposal, then disposed ofin accordance with Local, State and Federal regulations. PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING: Only trained personnel using appropriate protective equipment should handle sulfur dioxide. UseNIOSH Analytical Method 7600 & 7024. Avoid breathing gas. Do not get in eyes, on ASARCO ELP 0013511 skin or on clothing. Store in a cool, diy place in properly designed pressure vessels, away from heat and protected from physical damage. Segregate from combustible materials.
