Consult a physician. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.
If inhaledArtificial respiration may be needed. Refer for medical attention.
In case of skin contactRemove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. Refer for medical attention .
In case of eye contactFirst rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
If swallowedRinse mouth. Refer for medical attention .
4.2 Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayedSYMPTOMS: Exposure to this chemical can cause flushing of the skin, rapid pulse, headache, dizziness, weakness and a drop in blood pressure. ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: This chemical is readily absorbed through the skin. It forms explosive mixtures with air; therefore, all sources of ignition should be eliminated before opening the container.
4.3 Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessaryEmergency and supportive measures: Maintain an open airway and assist ventilation if necessary. Administer supplemental oxygen. Treat hypotension with supine positioning. Intravenous crystalloid fluids, and low-dose pressors if needed. Monitor vital signs and ECG for 4-6 hours. /Nitrates and nitrites/
5.Fire-fighting measures 5.1 Extinguishing media Suitable extinguishing mediaAlcohol foam...
5.2 Specific hazards arising from the chemicalThis chemical is flammable.
5.3 Special protective actions for fire-fightersWear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.
6.Accidental release measures 6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency proceduresUse personal protective equipment. Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathing vapours, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Avoid breathing dust. For personal protection see section 8.
6.2 Environmental precautionsEvacuate danger area! Consult an expert! Personal protection: chemical protection suit including self-contained breathing apparatus. Ventilation. Remove all ignition sources. Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable containers as far as possible. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations. Do NOT wash away into sewer.
6.3 Methods and materials for containment and cleaning upPick up and arrange disposal. Sweep up and shovel. Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.
7.Handling and storage 7.1 Precautions for safe handlingAvoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Avoid exposure - obtain special instructions before use.Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed. For precautions see section 2.2.
7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilitiesFireproof. Separated from strong oxidants. Cool. Well closed.Amyl nitrite inhalant should be packaged in unit-dose containers, wrapped loosely in gauze or other suitable material, and stored at 2-15°C. A stabilizer, such as diphenylamine or epoxolol, is added to the commercially available products. The drug should be protected from light.
