Precautionary Measures: Hydrogen Sulfide and other hazardous vapors may evolve and collect in the headspace of storage tanks or other enclosed vessels. Hydrogen Sulfide is an extremely flammable, toxic gas. Respiratory protection should be worn when venting tanks. Avoid contact with hot material. Avoid contact with water or liquids. Avoid breathing of vapors, fumes, or mist. Use only with adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Keep container closed when not in use. Wash thoroughly after handling. FIRST AID Inhalation: Move victim to fresh air and provide oxygen if breathing is difficult. Get medical attention. Vaporization of 1-12S that has been trapped in clothing can be dangerous to rescuers. Maintain respiratory protection to avoid contamination from victim to rescuer. Mechanical ventilation should be used to resuscitate the victim. DO NOT attempt to rescue victim unless proper respiratory protection is worn. If the victim has difficulty breathing or tightness of the chest, is dizzy, vomiting or unresponsive, give 100%oxygen with rescue breathing or CPR as required and transport to the nearest medical facility. Skin Contact: If contact with hot material, cool the burn area by flushing with large amounts of water. DO NOT attempt to remove anything from the burn area or apply burn creams or ointments. Cover the burn area loosely with a sterile dressing, if available. If redness, swelling, pain and/or blisters occur, transport to the nearest medical facility for additional treatment. Eye Contact: Flush eyes with plenty of water while holding eyelids open. Rest eyes for 30 minutes. If redness, burning, blurred vision or swelling occur, transport to nearest medical facility for additional treatment. Ingestion: DO NOT induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep head below hips to prevent aspiration. Have victim rinse mouth out with water, then drink sips of water to remove taste from mouth. In general no treatment is necessary unless large quantities are swallowed, however, get medical advice. FIRE In case of fire, Use water fog, 'alcohol foam', dry chemical or carbon dioxide (CO2)to extinguish flames. Do not use a direct stream of water. Material will float and can be re-ignited on surface of water. SPILL OR LEAK May burn although not readily ignitable. Use cautious judgement when cleaning up large molten spills.
