Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES 

SWALLOWED 

• If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting. 

• If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain open airway and 

prevent aspiration. 

• Observe the patient carefully. 

• Never give liquid to a person showing signs of being sleepy or with reduced awareness; i.e. becoming unconscious. 

EYE 

■ If this product comes in contact with the eyes: 

• Wash out immediately with fresh running water. 

• Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from eye and moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting 

the upper and lower lids. 

• Seek medical attention without delay; if pain persists or recurs seek medical attention. 

• Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled personnel. 

SKIN 

■ If skin or hair contact occurs: 

• Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available). 

• Seek medical attention in event of irritation. 

INHALED 

• If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area. 

• Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested. 

• Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed, where possible, prior to initiating first aid 

procedures. 

• Apply artificial respiration if not breathing, preferably with a demand valve resuscitator, bag-valve mask device, or pocket 

mask as trained. Perform CPR if necessary. 

• Inhalation of vapours or aerosols (mists, fumes) may cause lung oedema. 

• Corrosive substances may cause lung damage (e.g. lung oedema, fluid in the lungs). 

• As this reaction may be delayed up to 24 hours after exposure, affected individuals need complete rest (preferably in semirecumbent 

posture) and must be kept under medical observation even if no symptoms are (yet) manifested. 

• Before any such manifestation, the administration of a spray containing a dexamethasone derivative or beclomethasone derivative 

may be considered. 

NOTES TO PHYSICIAN 

■ Treat symptomatically. 

Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is indicated. The symptoms of lung oedema often do not manifest 

until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort.

Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION 

EXPOSURE CONTROLS 

The following materials had no OELs on our records 

• diammonium thiosulfate: CAS:7783- 18- 8 

• sodium sulfite: CAS:7757- 83- 7 CAS:10102- 15- 5 

• EDTA disodium salt: CAS:139- 33- 3 CAS:69772- 70- 9 

• water: CAS:7732- 18- 5 

MATERIAL DATA 

DIAMMONIUM THIOSULFATE: 

EDTA DISODIUM SALT: 

■ It is the goal of the ACGIH (and other Agencies) to recommend TLVs (or their equivalent) for all substances for which there 

is evidence of health effects at airborne concentrations encountered in the workplace. 

At this time no TLV has been established, even though this material may produce adverse health effects (as evidenced in animal 

experiments or clinical experience). 

NOTE: The ACGIH occupational exposure standard for Particles Not Otherwise Specified (P.N.O.S) does NOT apply. 

FUJIFILM CN-16Q NQ3-RS: 

SODIUM SULFITE: 

■ Inorganic sulfites, bisulfites and metabisulfites (sodium, potassium and ammonium salts) liberate sulfur dioxide under 

certain conditions. Therefore the officially tabled exposure limits for these chemicals normally correspond to the yield of 

liberated sulfur dioxide.

Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION 

RESPIRATOR 

•Particulate. (AS/NZS 1716 & 1715, EN 143:2000 & 149:2001, ANSI Z88 or national equivalent) 

EYE 

• Safety glasses with side shields 

• Chemical goggles. 

• Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate irritants. A written policy document, 

describing the wearing of lens or restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This should include a 

review of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an account of injury experience. Medical and 

first-aid personnel should be trained in their removal and suitable equipment should be readily available. In the event of 

chemical exposure, begin eye irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens should be removed at 

the first signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be removed in a clean environment only after workers have washed 

hands thoroughly. [CDC NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59], [AS/NZS 1336 or national equivalent]. 

HANDS/FEET 

• Wear chemical protective gloves, eg. PVC. 

• Wear safety footwear or safety gumboots, eg. Rubber. 

Suitability and durability of glove type is dependent on usage. Important factors in the selection of gloves include: 

• frequency and duration of contact, 

• chemical resistance of glove material, 

• glove thickness and 

• dexterity. 

OTHER 

• Overalls. 

• P.V.C. apron. 

• Barrier cream. 

• Skin cleansing cream. 

ENGINEERING CONTROLS 

■ Engineering controls are used to remove a hazard or place a barrier between the worker and the hazard. Well-designed 

engineering controls can be highly effective in protecting workers and will typically be independent of worker interactions to 

provide this high level of protection. 

The basic types of engineering controls are: 

Process controls which involve changing the way a job activity or process is done to reduce the risk. 

Enclosure and/or isolation of emission source which keeps a selected hazard "physically" away from the worker and ventilation 

that strategically "adds" and "removes" air in the work environment.

Section 10 - STABILITY AND REACTIVITY 

CONDITIONS CONTRIBUTING TO INSTABILITY 

• Presence of incompatible materials. 

• Product is considered stable. 

• Hazardous polymerisation will not occur. 

For incompatible materials - refer to Section 7 - Handling and Storage. 

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION 

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS 

ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS 

SWALLOWED 

■ Accidental ingestion of the material may be damaging to the health of the individual. 

Thiosulfate salts are poorly absorbed and stimulate the emptying of thebowel. 

Large doses of ammonia or injected ammonium salts may produce diarrhoea and may be sufficiently absorbed to produce increased 

production of urine and systemic poisoning. Symptoms include weakening of facial muscle, tremor, anxiety, reduced muscle and limb 

control. 

EYE 

■ This material can cause eye irritation and damage in some persons. 

SKIN 

■ This material can cause inflammation of the skin oncontact in some persons. 

Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions, may produce systemic injury with harmful effects. 

Examine the skin prior to the use of the material and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected. 

INHALED 

■ Inhalation of vapours or aerosols (mists, fumes), generated by the material during the course of normal handling, may be 

harmful. 

The material can cause respiratory irritation in some persons. The body's response to such irritation can cause further lung 

damage. 

CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS 

■ Substance accumulation, in the human body, is likely and may cause some concern following repeated or long-term occupational 

exposure. 

Strong evidence exists that this substance may cause irreversible mutations (though not lethal) even following a single exposure. 

Laboratory (in vitro) and animal studies show, exposure to the material may result in a possible risk of irreversible effects, 

with the possibility of producing mutation. 

Sulfites and bisulfites can cause narrowing of the airways, stomach upset, flushing, low blood pressure, tingling sensation, 

itchy wheal, swelling and shock, and asthmatics are especially prone. They induce allergic-like reactions which can occur on 

first contact with the material. 

TOXICITY AND IRRITATION 

■ No significant acute toxicological data identified in literature search. 

Contact allergies quickly manifest themselves as contact eczema, more rarely as urticaria or Quincke's oedema. The pathogenesis 

of contact eczema involves a cell-mediated (T lymphocytes) immune reaction of the delayed type. Other allergic skin reactions, 

e.g. contact urticaria, involve antibody-mediated immune reactions. The significance of the contact allergen is not simply 

determined by its sensitisation potential: the distribution of the substance and the opportunities for contact with it are 

equally important. A weakly sensitising substance which is widely distributed can be a more important allergen than one with 

stronger sensitising potential with which few individuals come into contact. From a clinical point of view, substances are 

noteworthy if they produce an allergic test reaction in more than 1% of the persons tested. 

Asthma-like symptoms may continue for months or even years after exposure to the material ceases. This may be due to a nonallergenic 

condition known as reactive airways dysfunction syndrome (RADS) which can occur following exposure to high levels of 

highly irritating compound.

Section 13 - DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS 

• Containers may still present a chemical hazard/ danger when empty. 

• Return to supplier for reuse/ recycling if possible. 

Otherwise: 

• If container can not be cleaned sufficiently well to ensure that residuals do not remain or if the container cannot be used to 

store the same product, then puncture containers, to prevent re-use, and bury at an authorised landfill. 

• Where possible retain label warnings and MSDS and observe all notices pertaining to the product. 

Legislation addressing waste disposal requirements may differ by country, state and/ or territory. Each user must refer to laws 

operating in their area. 

A Hierarchy of Controls seems to be common - the user should investigate: 

• Reduction. 

• DO NOT allow wash water from cleaning or process equipment to enter drains. 

• It may be necessary to collect all wash water for treatment before disposal. 

• In all cases disposal to sewer may be subject to local laws and regulations and these should be considered first. 

• Where in doubt contact the responsible authority. 

• Recycle wherever possible. 

• Consult manufacturer for recycling options or consult local or regional waste management authority for disposal if no suitable 

treatment or disposal facility can be identified. 

• Dispose of by: burial in a land-fill specifically licenced to accept chemical and / or pharmaceutical wastes or incineration in 

a licenced apparatus (after admixture with suitable combustible material). 

• Decontaminate empty containers. Observe all label safeguards until containers are cleaned and destroyed.
