2 HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION GHS Classification (29 CFR 1910.1200): Not classified as hazardous GHS Label Elements: Signal Word: N/A Hazard Statements: N/A Precautionary Statements: N/A
3 COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS Ingredient: Cesium Sulfate CAS#: 10294-54-9 %: ≥99 EC#: 233-662-6 Common Names and Synonyms: Sulfuric acid, cesium salt(1:2); sulfuric acid, dicesium salt; cesium sulphate.
4 FIRST AID MEASURES General Measures: Remove patient from area of exposure. INHALATION: Remove to fresh air, keep warm and quiet, give oxygen if breathing is difficult. Seek medical attention. INGESTION: Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical attention. Never induce vomiting or give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. SKIN: Remove contaminated clothing, brush material off skin, wash affected area with soap and water. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist. EYES: Flush eyes with lukewarm water, including under upper and lower eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist. Most Important Symptoms/Effects, Acute and Delayed: May cause irritation. See section 11 for more information. Indication of Immediate Medical Attention and Special Treatment: No other relevant information available.
5 FIREFIGHTING MEASURES Extinguishing Media: Use suitable extinguishing agent for surrounding materials and type of fire. Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: No information available. Specific Hazards Arising from the Material: May emit toxic fumes under fire conditions. Special Protective Equipment and Precautions for Firefighters: Full face, self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and eyes.
6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal Precautions, Protective Equipment, and Emergency Procedures: Wear appropriate respiratory and protective equipment specified in section 8. Isolate spill area. Avoid dust formation. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid breathing dust or fume. Eliminate all sources of ignition. Methods and Materials for Containment and Cleaning Up: Avoid creating dust. Scoop or vacuum up spill using a vacuum system equipped with a high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtration system and place in a properly labeled closed container for further handling and disposal. Environmental Precautions: Do not flush to sewer, stream, or other bodies of water. Do not allow to enter drains or to be released to the environment.
7 HANDLING AND STORAGE Precautions for Safe Handling: Handle in an enclosed, controlled process. Avoid creating dust. Provide adequate ventilation if dusts are created. Avoid breathing dust or fumes. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Wash thoroughly before eating or smoking. See section 8 for information on personal protection equipment. Conditions for Safe Storage, Including Any Incompatibilities: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Store in a tightly sealed container. Protect from moisture. See section 10 for more information on incompatible materials.
8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION Exposure Limits: OSHA/PEL: ACGIH/TLV: Cesium Sulfate No exposure limit established No exposure limit established Appropriate Engineering Controls: Whenever possible the use of local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls is the preferred method of controlling exposure to airborne dust and fume to meet established occupational exposure limits. Use good housekeeping and sanitation practices. Do not use tobacco or food in work area. Wash thoroughly before eating or smoking. Do not blow dust off clothing or skin with compressed air. Individual Protection Measures, Such as Personal Protective Equipment: Respiratory Protection: Wear a NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator when high concentrations are present. Eye Protection: Safety glasses Skin Protection: Wear impermeable gloves, protective work clothing as necessary.

11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION Likely Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, skin and eyes. Symptoms of Exposure: May cause irritation to eyes and abraded skin. May cause irritation to lungs. Acute and Chronic Effects: Cesium Compounds: Cesium hydroxide is irritating to eyes and skin. Cesium ions block potassium channels in biological membranes in a voltage dependent manner. It has been found that replacing the potassium in the diet of rats with cesium caused death after 10-17 days. Sulfates: Sulfates have variable toxicity. In general the toxic properties of substances containing the sulfate radical is that of the material (cation) with which the sulfate (anion) is combined. Copper sulfate may be acutely toxic and corrosive, while iron sulfate is regarded as an irritant and sodium sulfate is considered non-toxic and non-irritating to skin and mucous membranes. Acute Toxicity: LD50 oral - rat - 2830 mg/kg Carcinogenicity: NTP: Not identified as carcinogenic IARC: Not identified as carcinogenic To the best of our knowledge the chemical, physical and toxicological characteristics of the substance are not fully known.
12 ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION Ecotoxicity: No data Persistence and Degradability: No data Bioaccumulative Potential: No data Mobility in Soil: No data Other Adverse Effects: Do not allow material to be released to the environment. No further relevant information available.
