      • Skull and Crossbones (GHS06)
      • Health Hazard (GHS08)
      • Environment (GHS09)
    • Signal Word: Danger
    • Hazard Statements (H-Statements):
      • H301 + H311 + H331: Toxic if swallowed, in contact with skin or if inhaled.
      • H350: May cause cancer.
      • H373: May cause damage to organs (blood) through prolonged or repeated exposure.
      • H410: Very toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting effects.
    • Precautionary Statements (P-Statements):
    • Prevention:
      • P201: Obtain special instructions before use.
      • P202: Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood.
      • P273: Avoid release to the environment.
      • P280: Wear protective gloves, protective clothing, eye protection, and face protection.
    • Response:
      • P301 + P310: IF SWALLOWED: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician.
      • P302 + P352 + P312: IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water. Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell.
      • P308 + P313: IF exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/attention.

  • 3. Summary of Primary Hazards
    • Health Hazards: Toxic by all routes of exposure (ingestion, inhalation, and skin absorption). A primary hazard is the formation of methemoglobin, which reduces the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood, leading to cyanosis (bluish skin), confusion, and headache. It is known to cause cancer.
    • Environmental Hazards: Very toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting effects. It is crucial to prevent its release into the environment.
    • Fire Hazards: Combustible solid. Dust can form explosive mixtures with air. When heated, it emits toxic fumes.
