Call physician. Do not transport the victim before the 15 minute flush is complete. Immediately flush the affected area with water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Call a physician. Transport the victim after the 15 minute flush is complete. Remove the victim to fresh air. Have victim lie down and remain quiet. Use artificial respiration if breathing has stopped or give oxygen if breathing is difficult. Call a physician. Do not induce vomiting. Give large quantities of water if victim is conscious.

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Explodes upon decomposition liberation nitrogen gas (N2) and sodium (Na). SECTION 6 - HEALTH HAZARD DATA ROUTE OF ENTRY [X] SKIN CONTACT [X] EYE CONTACT [X] INHALATION [X] INGESTION SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE: Sodium Azide can cause serious hypotensive effects(low blood pressure; headache; a transient, pounding sensation in the head) in a person who are exposed to it. EFFECTS OF ACUTE EXPOSURE TO PRODUCT: Inhaling hydrozoic acid vapor, which is found in sodium azide storage areas causes eye irritation, bronchitis, pulmonary edema, diarrhea, a severe throbbing headache, low blood pressure, rapid heart beat, low temperature, acidosis, convulsions, and weakness and collapse. The fall in blood pressure occurs because the azide anon dilated the blood vessels by way of direct action on smooth muscles. A profound drop in blood pressure may occur in acute intoxication and my be unresponsive to medications; the effect may last days. EMERGENCY FIRST AID PROCEDURES: Eye Contact: Skin Contact: Inhalation: Ingestion: Immediately flush eyes, including under the eyelids, gently by thoroughly with flooding amounts of running water for at least 15 minutes Rinse the affected area with flooding amounts of water; wash it with soap and water. Monitor the exposed worker for signs of developing systemic poisoning from the dermal absorption of the sodium azide. Remove the exposed person to fresh air; restore and/or support his or her breathing as needed. Have qualified medical personnel administer oxygen as required. Never gibe anything by mouth to someone who is unconscious or convulsing. If accidental ingestion should occur, have the exposed person drink 1-2 glasses of water and induce vomiting as soon as possible. EFFECTS OF CHRONIC EXPOSURE TO PRODUCT: This chemical may be fatal by ingestion, inhalation or skin absorption. It is an irritant of the sin, eyes, mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract [058]. It is rapidly absorbed from the gesrointestinal tract, skin and respiratory tract [430]. It decomposes explosively above its melting point [936,066]. Hazardous decomposition products include toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides and Na20 [043]. Hydrazoic acid is evolved from solutions and when it is heated to decomposition [058,371,421,430]. When heated to decomposition it emits nitrogen gas [346].

CLOTHING (SPECIFY): N/A Safety Glasses recommended. OTHER (SPECIFY): This is a laboratory-use product for which no industrial protective equipment has been designated. ENGINEERING CONTROLS (SPECIFY): LEAK AND SPILL PROCEDURE: Local exhaust : Should be used to remove acid vapors wherever possible. Mechanical: Recommended. Notify safety personnel, evacuate unnecessary personnel, eliminate source of heat and ignition, and provide adequate ventilation in the event of a sodium azide spill. Cleanup personnel must wear proper personal protective equipment, including a respirator, during their operation. Without creating dusty conditions, shovel, scoop, or vacuum the spilled material into appropriate containers for eventual disposal or recovery. Contact your supplier or licensed contractor for detailed recommendations. G111-0136-00 WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET HANDLING PROCEDURE: STORAGE REQUIREMENTS: OTHER PRECAUTIONS: Hydrazoic acid vapor is likely to be found in sodium azide storage facilities. Consider installing an automatic warning system that will alert workers to the presence of unacceptably high air concentrations of this material in storage areas. Store sodium azide in closed, moisture-proof containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from sources of heat and ignition and incompatible chemicals. Protect the containers from physical damage. Workers in both storage and production areas must be very careful to prevent any skin contact with sodium azide or its solutions, because dermal absorption poses serious health risks.
