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: Reducing agents, acetylene or nitromethane, magnesium, strong bases, alkalines, phosphates, hydrazine, zirconium. Can corrode aluminum, steel and
iron.
Hazardous decomposition products: Oxides of sulfur and copper fumes.
Toxicity to fi sh: Salmo gairdneri (fi sh, estuary, fresh water), LC50 = < 0.75-0.84 mg/L [Copper sulfate anhydrous]
Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: No data available
Toxicity to algae: No data available
Persistence and degradability: No data available Bioaccumulative potential: No data available
Mobility in soil: No data available PBT and vPvB assessment: No data available
Other adverse effects: An environmental hazard cannot be excluded in the event of unprofessional handling or disposal.

NTP: No component of this product present at levels greater than or equal to 0.1% is identifi ed as a known or anticipated carcinogen by NTP.
IARC: No component of this product present at levels greater than or equal to 0.1% is identifi ed as probable, possible or confi rmed human carcinogen by IARC.
OSHA: No component of this product present at levels greater than or equal to 0.1% is identifi ed as a carcinogen or potential carcinogen by OSHA.
Reproductive toxicity: Data not available
STOT-single exposure: Data not available
STOT-repeated exposure: Data not available
Aspiration hazard: Data not available
Potential health effects:
Inhalation: May cause irritation to the mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract.
Ingestion: Ingestion can cause irritation to the digestive tract and abdominal pain.
Skin: Contact with skin causes slight irritation. Excessive exposure may cause allergic dermatitis. May cause irritation or burns on wet skin.
Eyes: Can cause severe irritation and may result in irreversible eye damage.
Signs and symptoms of exposure: Note to physician: Probable mucosal damage may contradict the use of gastric lavage. Measures against circulatory shock, respiratory
depression and convulsions may be needed. Wilson’s disease can be aggravated by excessive exposure. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, gastrointestinal pain, diarrhea,
dizziness, jaundice, and general debility.
