SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
6.1 Personal Precautions
If water solvent has evaporated, wear NIOSH approved air-purifying respirator.
6.2 Environmental Precautions
Prevent discharge into the environment. Dike spills and stop leakage where practical. Do not allow material to enter drains.
6.3 Methods and Materials for Containment and Cleaning Up
Contain and clean up spill immediately, prevent from entering floor drains. Contain liquids using absorbents. Shovel all spill materials into disposal drum. Scrub spill area with detergent, flush with copious amounts of water.
6.4 References to Other Sections
For disposal information see Section 13. For protective clothing and equipment see Section 8.

8.2 Exposure Controls
Engineering Controls
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source.
Respiratory Protection
If exposure limits are exceeded, wear a full-face respirator with organic vapor cartridge and high efficiency dust mist filter. Beyond fifty times exposure limits or when exposure levels are not known, wear a full-face piece positive pressure respirator.
Eye Protection
Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
Skin Protection
Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.

Potential Health Effects
Inhalation
Sodium Phosphate
No data found.
Sodium Chloride
May cause respiratory tract irritation.
Ingestion
Sodium Phosphate
Phosphates are slowly and incompletely absorbed when ingested, and seldom result in systematic effects. Some adverse health effects have occurred. The toxicity of phosphates is because of their ability to sequester calcium.
Sodium Chloride
Ingestion of large amounts may cause gastrointestinal irritation. Ingestion of large amounts may cause nausea and vomiting, rigidity or convulsions. Continued exposure can produce a coma, dehydration and internal organ congestion.
