Do not stay in dangerous zone without self-contained breathing apparatus.
6.
Accidental release measures

Person-related precautionary measures:
Avoid substance contact. Do not inhale vapours/aerosols.
Procedures for cleaning / absorption:
Take up with liquid-absorbent material (e.g. Chemizorb ). Forward for disposal. Clean up affected
area.
7.

No further requirements.
Storage:
Tightly closed and away from sources of ignition and heat. At +15C to +25C.
The data apply to the entire pack.
8.
Exposure controls/personal protection

Personal protective equipment:
Protective clothing should be selected specifically for the working place, depending on
concentration and quantity of the hazardous substances handled. The resistance of the
protective clothing to chemicals should be ascertained with the respective supplier.

The protective gloves to be used must comply with the specifications

of EC directive 89/686/EEC and the resultant standard EN374, for
example KCL 740 Dermatril (full contact), 740 Dermatril (splash
contact). The breakthrough times stated above were determined by
KCL in laboratory tests acc. to EN374 with samples of the recommended
glove types.
This recommendation applies only to the product stated in the safety
data sheet and supplied by us as well as to the purpose specified by
us. When dissolving in or mixing with other substances and under
conditions deviating from those stated in EN374 please contact the
supplier of CE-approved gloves (e.g. KCL GmbH, D-36124 Eichenzell,
Internet: www.kcl.de).
Industrial hygiene:
Change contaminated clothing. Application of skin- protective barrier cream recommended. Wash hands
after working with substance.

Acute toxicity

Hazardous properties cannot be excluded, but are relatively improbable due to the
low concentration of the dissolved substance(s).
Other notes:
The following applies to soluble silver compounds: only slightly absorbed via the gastrointestinal
tract. Strong irritations after contact with eyes and skin.
The following applies to nitrites/nitrates in general: methaemoglobinaemia after the uptake of large
quantities.
