Harmful: danger of serious damage to health by prolonged exposure through inhalation. Very toxic to aquatic organisms. Safety Phrases
Keep locked up and out of reach of children Do not breathe gas Wear eye/face protection In the case of an accident or if you feel unwell, seek medical advice immediately First Aid Procedures
Consult the Poisons Information Centre (Australia 131126) or a doctor in every case of
suspected chemical poisoning. Never give fluids or induce vomiting if a patient is unconscious
or convulsing regardless of cause of injury. If breathing difficulties occur seek medical
attention immediately.

Description of first aid measures
General advice: First Aid responders should pay attention to self-protection and use the recommended
protective clothing (chemical resistant gloves, splash protection). If potential for exposure exists refer to
Section 8 for specific personal protective equipment.
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air. If person is not breathing, call an emergency responder or
ambulance, then give artificial respiration; if by mouth to mouth use rescuer protection (pocket mask
etc.). Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice. If breathing is difficult, oxygen should
be administered by qualified personnel. If the person is not breathing and has no pulse, consider
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR); use pocket resuscitation mask, bag valve mask etc., to avoid risk
of poisoning rescuer. To prevent pulmonary edema have the person inhale 5 shots of an aerosol
corticosteroid metered dose inhaler (if available), such as beclomethasone or fluticasone, etc., every 10
minutes until the person is evaluated by a physician.
Skin Contact: Take off contaminated clothing. Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15-20
minutes. Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice. In case of frostbite, immediately
flush skin with plenty of water for 15 minutes. Seek medical attention. Suitable emergency safety
shower facility should be immediately available.
Eye Contact: In case of frostbite, immediately flush eyes with water; remove contact lenses, if present,
after the first 5 minutes, then continue flushing eyes for at least 15 minutes. Obtain medical attention
promptly, preferably from an ophthalmologist. Suitable emergency eye wash facility should be
immediately available.
Ingestion: Call a poison control center or doctor immediately for treatment advice. Have person sip a
glass of water if able to swallow. Do not induce vomiting unless told to do so by the poison control center
or doctor. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Aside from the information found under Description of first aid measures (above) and Indication of
immediate medical attention and special treatment needed (below), no additional symptoms and effects
are anticipated.
Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Maintain adequate ventilation and oxygenation of the patient. Sulfuryl fluoride is a gas which has no
warning properties such as odor or eye irritation. The prediction of possible human effects is based in
part on observations made on laboratory animals. Treat for frostbite if present (eyes, skin) with gentle
rewarming by water irrigation for at least 15 minutes. It is predicted that persons exposed to sulfuryl
fluoride will show little evidence of intoxication at first, unless the concentration is very high (greater than
400 ppm). Early symptoms of exposure to sulfuryl fluoride are respiratory irritation and central nervous
system depression. Excitation may follow. Slowed movement, reduced awareness, and slow or garbled
speech may be noted. It is essential to keep such an individual at bed rest for at least 24 hours. Clinical
observations should be directed at the pulmonary, hepatic, and renal systems. Prolonged exposure can
produce lung irritation, pulmonary edema, nausea, and abdominal pain. Repeated exposure to high
concentrations can result in significant lung and kidney damage. Convulsions may ensue with
respiratory arrest being the terminal event. Assisted respiration may be necessary. Clinical observation
is essential. There is no known antidote for overexposure to sulfuryl fluoride. May cause asthma-like

(reactive airways) symptoms. Bronchodilators, expectorants, antitussives and corticosteroids may be of help. Respiratory symptoms, including pulmonary edema, may be delayed. Persons receiving significant exposure should be observed 24-48 hours for signs of respiratory distress. Consider administering a complete aerosol corticosteroid metered dose inhaler (100-150 shots) or equivalent as initial preventive treatment for incipient pulmonary edema. Consider administering 250-1000 mg prednisolone IV on the first day of treatment. Treat for frostbite, if present. No specific antidote. Treatment of exposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical condition of the patient. Have the Safety Data Sheet, and if available, the product container or label with you when calling a poison control center or doctor, or going for treatment. Excessive exposure may aggravate preexisting asthma and other respiratory disorders (e.g. emphysema, bronchitis, reactive airways dysfunction syndrome). Fire Fighting Measures

Suitable extinguishing media
This material does not burn. If exposed to fire from another source, use suitable extinguishing agent for
that fire.
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Hazardous Combustion Products: Fire conditions may cause this product to decompose. Refer to
section 10 - Thermal Decomposition.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Container may rupture from gas generation in a fire situation.
Advice for firefighters
Fire Fighting Procedures: Keep people away. Isolate fire and deny unnecessary entry. Stay upwind.
Keep out of low areas where gases (fumes) can accumulate. Use water spray to cool fire exposed
containers and fire affected zone until fire is out and danger of reignition has passed. Fight fire from
protected location or safe distance. Consider the use of unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles.
Immediately withdraw all personnel from the area in case of rising sound from venting safety device or
discoloration of the container. Move container from fire area if this is possible without hazard. Contain
fire water run-off if possible. Fire water run-off, if not contained, may cause environmental damage.
Review the "Accidental Release Measures" and the "Ecological Information" sections of this (M)SDS.
Special Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) and protective firefighting clothing (includes firefighting helmet, coat, trousers, boots,
and gloves). If protective equipment is not available or not used, fight fire from a protected location or
safe distance.
