Copper Acetate 142-71-2 100% Yes
Inhalation: Causes irritation to respiratory tract,
symptoms may include coughing, sore throat, and shortness of breath.
May result in ulceration and perforation of respiratory tract. When
heated, this compound may give off copper fume, which can cause
symptoms similar to the common cold, including chills and stuffiness of
the head.
Ingestion: May cause burning pain in the mouth,
esophagus, and stomach. Hemorrhagic gastritis, nausea, vomiting,
abdominal pain, metallic taste, and diarrhea may occur. If vomiting
does not occur immediately systemic copper poisoning may occur.
Symptoms may include capillary damage, headache, cold sweat, weak
pulse, kidney and liver damage, central nervous excitation followed by
depression, jaundice, convulsions, blood effects, paralysis and coma.
Death may occur from shock or renal failure.
Skin Contact: May cause irritation with redness and
pain.
Eye Contact: Corrosive. May cause irritation,
redness, pain, blurred vision, discoloration, and damage.
Chronic Exposure: Prolonged or repeated skin
exposure may cause dermatitis. Prolonged or repeated exposure to dusts
of copper salts may cause discoloration of the skin or hair, blood and
liver damage, ulceration and perforation of the nasal septum, runny
nose, metallic taste, and atrophic changes and irritation of the mucous
membranes.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: Persons with
pre-existing skin disorders, impaired liver, kidney, or pulmonary
function, glucose 6-phosphate-dehydrogenase deficiency, or pre-existing
Wilson's disease may be more susceptible to the effects of this
material.
Inhalation: Remove
to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician.
Ingestion: Induce vomiting immediately as directed
by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person. Call a physician.
Skin Contact: In case of contact, wipe off excess
material from skin then immediately flush skin with plenty of water for
at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash
clothing before reuse. Call a physician.
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with gentle but
large stream of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and upper
eyelids occasionally. Call a physician immediately.
Fire: Not
considered to be a fire hazard. May form combustible fumes upon
decomposition which may increase the flammability of a fire.
Explosion: Reactions with incompatibles may pose an
explosion hazard.
Fire Extinguishing Media: Use any means suitable for
extinguishing surrounding fire. Water spray may be used to keep fire
exposed containers cool.
Special Information: In the event of a fire, wear
full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing
apparatus with full facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other
positive pressure mode.
Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical damage. Isolate from incompatible substances. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.
Airborne Exposure Limits:
-OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL):1 mg/m3 (TWA) for copper dusts
& mists as Cu
-ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV):1 mg/m3 (TWA) for copper dusts
& mists as Cu
Ventilation System: 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,
preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Please refer to
the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of
Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved): If the
exposure limit is exceeded and engineering controls are not feasible, a
half facepiece particulate respirator (NIOSH type N95 or better
filters) may be worn for up to ten times the exposure limit or the
maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory
agency or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest.. A full-face piece
particulate respirator (NIOSH type N100 filters) may be worn up to 50
times the exposure limit, or the maximum use concentration specified by
the appropriate regulatory agency, or respirator supplier, whichever is
lowest. If oil particles (e.g. lubricants, cutting fluids, glycerine,
etc.) are present, use a NIOSH type R or P filter. For emergencies or
instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-facepiece
positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air-purifying
respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Skin Protection: Wear protective gloves and clean
body-covering clothing.
Eye Protection: Use chemical safety goggles and/or
full face shield where dusting or splashing of solutions is possible.
Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.

blue powder.

Environmental Fate:
This material is expected to significantly bioaccumulate. This material
has an experimentally-determined bioconcentration factor (BCF) of
greater than 100. Bioaccumulation data for copper.
Environmental Toxicity: This material is expected to
be very toxic to aquatic life. The LC50/96-hour values for fish are
less than 1 mg/l. The IC50/72-hour values for algae are less than 1
mg/l. Toxicity data for copper.
Whatever cannot be saved for recovery or recycling should be managed in an appropriate and approved waste disposal facility. Processing, use or contamination of this product may change the waste management options. State and local disposal regulations may differ from federal disposal regulations. Dispose of container and unused contents in accordance with federal, state and local requirements.
