Section 3 - Hazards Identification

Appearance: white glistening crystals. solid.
Warning! May cause eye, skin, and respiratory tract irritation. May cause allergic skin reaction. May be harmful if swallowed. May cause central nervous system effects. May cause blood abnormalities.
Target Organs: Blood, kidneys, central nervous system, skin.


Potential Health Effects
Eye: Dust may cause mechanical irritation.
Skin: May cause skin irritation. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material.
Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed. May cause irritation of the digestive tract. May cause kidney damage. May cause methemoglobinemia, cyanosis (bluish discoloration of skin due to deficient oxygenation of the blood), convulsions, and death. Human systemic effects by ingestion may include: visual field changes, tinnitus, and nausea or vomiting. May cause hallucinations and distorted perceptions. Ingestion may cause kidney damage including acute tubular necrosis and acute renal failure.
Inhalation: May cause respiratory tract irritation. May cause methemoglobinemia, cyanosis (bluish discoloration of skin due to deficient oxygenation of the blood), convulsions, tachycardia, dyspnea (labored breathing), and death. May cause effects similar to those described for ingestion. Coal tar analgetics including acetanilide are depressants of the central nervous system.
Chronic: Chronic exposure may cause effects similar to those of acute exposure.

Section 4 - First Aid Measures

Eyes: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
Skin: Get medical aid. Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion: Call a poison control center. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid.
Inhalation: Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.

Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures

General Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Will burn if involved in a fire. Dust can be an explosion hazard when exposed to heat or flame. Vapors may be heavier than air. They can spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas.
Extinguishing Media: For small fires, use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide or chemical foam. Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers.
Flash Point: 173 deg C ( 343.40 deg F)
Autoignition Temperature: 545 deg C ( 1,013.00 deg F)

NFPA Rating: (estimated) Health: 2; Flammability: 1; Instability: 0

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures

General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks: Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal container. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Provide ventilation.

Section 7 - Handling and Storage

Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate ventilation. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid ingestion and inhalation.
Storage: Keep away from heat and flame. Store in a tightly closed container. Keep from contact with oxidizing materials. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Keep away from strong bases.

Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection

Engineering Controls: Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate general or local explosion-proof ventilation to keep airborne levels to acceptable levels.

Section 12 - Ecological Information

Ecotoxicity: Fish: Bluegill/Sunfish: LC50 = 100 mg/L; 96 Hr.; Static, 23 degrees C No data available.
Environmental: An estimated BCF value of 4.5 was calculated for acetanilide, using an experimental log Kow of 1.16. According to a classification scheme, this BCF value suggests that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low.
Physical: Acetanilide is not expected to undergo hydrolysis or direct photolysis in the environment due to the lack of functional groups to hydrolyze or absorb UV light.
Other: No information available.

Section 13 - Disposal Considerations
