| [Fire Fighting] Flood with water. Cool all affected containers with flooding quantities of water. Apply water from as far a distance as possible. | |
| [Fire Potential] Dangerous fire risk in contact with organic materials. | |
| [Ingestion] Give large amount of water. | |
| [Inhalation] Move to fresh air. | |
| [Skin] Flush with water. | |
| [Eyes] Irrigate exposed eyes with copious amounts of tepid water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation, pain, swelling, lacrimation, or photophobia persist, the patient should be seen in a health care facility. | |
| [Storage] Keep containers tightly closed in a well ventilated area away from food products. Keep away from heat, organic materials, and water. | |
| [Handling] All chemicals should be considered hazardous. Avoid direct physical contact. Use appropriate, approved safety equipment. Untrained individuals should not handle this chemical or its container. Handling should occur in a chemical fume hood. | |
| [Inhalation] Respiratory depression and cyanosis may be noted, due to methemoglobinemia. | |
| [Skin] Cyanosis that minimally responds to oxygen therapy may be noted, and is indicative of probable methemoglobinemia. | |
| [Eyes] Visual field defects have been reported in sodium nitrite poisoning. | |
| [Ingestion] Initial effects of ingestion are gastric irritation with nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. | |
| [Hazards] May explode from heat or contamination. May react explosively with hydrocarbons (fuels). May ignite combustibles. | |

| [Personal Protection] Niosh-certified respirator; goggles or face shield; protective gloves | |
| [Respirators] Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). | |
| [Exposure Effects] Throbbing headache is common. Seizures have been reported following severe intoxication. Behavioral deficits were observed in the adult offspring of rats who received sodium nitrite prenatally. | |

| [Small spills/leaks] Keep sparks, flames, and other sources of ignition away. Keep material out of water sources and sewers. Land spill: Dig a pit, pond, lagoon, holding area to contain liquid or solid material. Cover solids with a plastic sheet to prevent dissolving in rain or fire fighting water. Water spill: Neutralize with agricultural lime (CaO), crushed limestone (CaCO3), or sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3). Adjust pH to neutral (pH=7). | |
| [Stability] Dangerous explosion risk in contact with organic materials. | |
| [Incompatibilities] May react explosively. | |
| [Decomposition] On decomposition it emits toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides. | |
| [Combustion Products] Toxic oxides of nitrogen may form in fire. | |
