4. FIRST AID MEASURES

4.1 First Aid: Ingestion: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Contact Poison Control Center +1 (866) 291-7152 or the nearest Poison
Control Center or local emergency telephone number for assistance and instructions. Seek immediate
medical attention. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep victim’s head lowered (forward) to reduce the
risk of aspiration.
Eyes: If product gets in the eyes, flush eyes thoroughly with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes,
holding eyelid(s) open to ensure complete flushing. If the eyes or face become swollen during or
following use, consult a physician or emergency room immediately.
Skin: Remove contaminated clothing and wash affected areas with soap and water. If discomfort persists
and/or the skin reaction worsens, contact a physician immediately. Do not wear contaminated clothing
until after it has been properly cleaned.
Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air at once. Under extreme conditions, if breathing stops, perform artificial
respiration. Seek immediate medical attention.
4.2 Effects of Exposure: Eyes: Severe or permanent eye damage.
Skin: Burns upon direct contact.
Ingestion: Severe burns of mouth, throat, stomach.
Inhalation: Severe irritation or burns in respiratory tract and mucous membranes. Possible lung damage.
4.3 Symptoms of Overexposure: Eyes: Redness, burning, irritation, and swelling around eyes
Skin: Redness, burning, itching, rash, blistering of skin.
Ingestion: Nausea, vomiting, severe abdominal pain.
Inhalation: Coughing, wheezing, swelling of throat, irritation in mucous membranes, difficulty breathing.
4.4 Acute Health Effects: May be harmful if inhaled. Material is extremely destructive to the tissue of the mucous membranes and upper
respiratory tract. May be harmful if swallowed. Causes burns. May be harmful if absorbed through skin.
4.5 Chronic Health Effects: May damage the nervous system, kidney and/or liver.
4.6 Target Organs: Eyes, Skin, Nervous System, Kidneys, Liver, Respiratory System

4.8 Notes to Physician: This product contains Selenious Acid and is potentially fatal if ingested even in small amounts. 24-hour admission
should be considered in asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic patients as delayed toxic effects including pulmonary
edema and multi-organ failure may occur. 24/7 medical toxicology consultation is available at +1 (855) 281-1742.

5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES
5.1 Fire & Explosion Hazards: Non-flammable. May react with metals to release hydrogen gas, which can form explosive mixtures
with air. May intensity fire; oxidizer.
5.2 Extinguishing Methods: Use fire-extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding materials.
5.3 Firefighting Procedures: As with any fire, firefighters should wear appropriate protective equipment including a MSHA/NIOSH
approved or equivalent self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and protective clothing. Fight fires
as for surrounding materials. Hazardous decomposition products may be released. Thermal
degradation may produce oxides of carbon, phosphorous, selenium and/or nitrogen, hydrocarbons
and/or derivatives. Fire should be fought from a safe distance. Keep containers cool until well after
the fire is out. Use water spray to cool fire-exposed surfaces and to protect personal. Fight fire
upwind. Prevent runoff from fire control or dilution from entering sewers, drains, drinking water supply,
or any natural waterway.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

6.1 Spills: Before cleaning any spill or leak, individuals involved in spill cleanup must wear appropriate Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE). Use safety glasses or safety goggles and face shield; use gloves and other protective clothing (e.g.,
apron, boots, etc.) to prevent skin contact.
Small Spills: Wear appropriate protective equipment including gloves and protective eyewear. Use a non-combustible,
inert material such as vermiculite or sand to soak up the product and place into a container for later disposal.
Large Spills: Keep incompatible materials (e.g., organics such as oil) away from spill. Stay upwind and away from spill
or release. Isolate immediate hazard area and keep unauthorized personnel out of area. Stop spill or release if it can be
done with minimal risk. Wear appropriate protective equipment including respiratory protection as conditions warrant.
Recover as much free liquid as possible and collect in acid-resistant container. Use absorbent to pick up residue. Avoid
discharging liquid directly into a sewer or surface waters.
