Engineering controls: Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower and fi re extinguishing material. Personnel
should wear safety glasses, goggles, or faceshield, lab coat or apron, appropriate protective gloves. Use adequate ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.
Respiratory protection: None should be needed in normal laboratory handling at room temperatures. If misty conditions prevail, work in fume hood or wear a NIOSH/MSHA-
approved respirator.
Precautions for Safe Handling: Read label on container before using. Do not wear contact lenses when working with chemicals. Keep out of reach of children. Avoid
contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Do not inhale vapors, spray or mist. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid ingestion. Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove and wash
clothing before reuse.
Conditions for Safe Storage: Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
Chemical stability: Stable Hazardous polymerization: Will not occur.
Conditions to avoid: Excessive temperatures which cause evaporation.
Incompatible materials: Strong oxidizers, acetylene, hydrazine, reducing agents, nitromethane.
Hazardous decomposition products: Carbon oxides.

Potential health effects:
Inhalation: May be harmful if inhaled. May cause respiratory tract irritation.
Ingestion: May be harmful if swallowed.
Skin: Contact may cause irritation.
Eyes: Contact may cause irritation.
Signs and symptoms of exposure: Copper salts impart a metallic taste in the mouth. Damage to the kidneys may occur in person’s with Wilson’s disease. High
concentrations in contact with skin may result in burns. Chronic exposure may also lead to liver damage, anemia and other blood cell abnormalities.
