The substance may be toxic to blood, upper respiratory tract, skin, eyes, central nervous system (CNS).
Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage. Repeated or
prolonged contact with spray mist may produce chronic eye irritation and severe skin irritation. Repeated or
prolonged exposure to spray mist may produce respiratory tract irritation leading to frequent attacks of
bronchial infection.
Section 4. First Aid Measures
Eye Contact Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for
at least 15 minutes. Cold water may be used. Get medical attention immediately.
Skin Contact In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing
contaminated clothing and shoes. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Cold water may be used.Wash
clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical attention immediately.
Serious Skin Contact Wash with a disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream. Seek immediate
medical attention.
Inhalation If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Get medical attention immediately.
Serious Inhalation Evacuate the victim to a safe area as soon as possible. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or
waistband. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation. WARNING: It may be hazardous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation when the inhaled material is toxic, infectious or corrosive. Seek immediate medical attention.
Ingestion Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. Get medical attention if
symptoms appear.

of Various Substances
Fire Fighting Media Fire: Small fires: Use water. Do not use dry chemicals or foams. CO2, or Halon may provide limited control.
and Instructions Large fires: Flood fire area with water from a distance. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without
risk. Do not move cargo or vehicle if cargo has been exposed to heat. Fight fire from
maximum distance or use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Cool containers with flooding quantities
of water until well after fire is out. ALWAYS stay away from tanks engulfed in fire. For massive fire, use
unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles; if this is impossible, withdraw from area and let fire burn.

Fire Hazards Hydrogen Peroxide. Hydrogen Peroxide is a strong oxider. It is not flammable itself, but it can cause
spontaneous combustion of flammable materials and continued support of the combustion because it liberates
oxygen as it decomposes.
Hydrogen peroxide mixed with magnesium and a trace of magnesium dioxide will ignite immediately.

HEAT, MECHANICAL IMPACT, OR CAUSED TO DECOMPOSE CATALYTICALLY BY METALS & THEIR
SALTS, DUSTS & ALKALIES.
ANOTHER SOURCE OF HYDROGEN PEROXIDE EXPLOSIONS IS FROM SEALING THE MATERIAL IN
STRONG CONTAINERS. UNDER SUCH CONDITIONS EVEN GRADUAL DECOMPOSITION OF
HYDROGEN PEROXIDE TO WATER + 1/2 OXYGEN CAN CAUSE LARGE PRESSURES TO BUILD UP IN
THE CONTAINERS WHICH MAY BURST EXPLOSIVELY.
Fire or explosion:
May explode from friction, heat or contamination. These substances will accelerate burning when involved in a
fire. May ignite combustibles (wood, paper, oil, clothing, etc.). Some will react explosively with hydrocarbons
(fuels). Containers may explode when heated. Runoff may create fire or explosion hazard. /Hydrogen
