Data |
| Vapor
Pressure: |
(MM
Hg/70 F): 0.0001 |
| Solubility
in Water: |
|
| Appearance
& Odor: |
Yellow
powder, essentially no odor |
| Health
Hazards |
| Eyes: |
Should
be irrigated with lots of water/physiological silane for at least
15 minutes. Do not use Boric Acid. Sulfur dust is an acid irritant.
Sulfur is an eye irritant but if prompt treatment is applied, no lasting
injury will result. |
| Skin: |
Prolonged
contact with the skin should be avoided and sulfur dust should be
removed through washing with mild soap and water. Soiled clothing
should be washed before reuse. |
| Inhalation: |
Remove
to fresh air, support breathing if necessary. |
| Ingestion: |
Call
a doctor immediately. |
Overexposure
|
Sulfur
is essentially a non-toxic either through ingestion, inhalation or
skin contact. There are, however, some individuals who may be allergic
& must not be permitted in the area of exposure. |
| Employee
Protection |
| Respiratory: |
Approved
respirators, approved breathing apparatus. |
| Eye: |
Dust
tight goggles. |
| Ventilation: |
Local
ventilation. |
| Other: |
Protective
gloves. Eyewash, hard hats.

| Fire
& Explosion Hazards |
| Flammable
levels: |
Solid
is moderate fire hazard, but dust dispersed in air can self ignite
and burn with explosive violence. |
| Flash
Point: |
370°F,
188°C |
| Extinguishing
Media: |
Water
fog is the best way to control sulfur fires. Small fires may be smothered
with sand or CO2 may be used. When sulfur burns it generates sulfur
dioxide, a toxic gas. |
| Special
Procedures: |
Solid
streams of water should not be used because of the low ignition temperature
of dust dispersed in the air. |
