| [Fire Fighting] Use appropriate media to fight supporting fire. Contain runoff. | |
| [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 in a cool, dry, dark location in a tightly sealed container or cylinder. Keep away from incompatible materials, ignition sources and untrained individuals. Secure and label area. Protect containers/cylinders from physical damage. | |
| [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] Pulmonary abnormalities have not been demonstrated in workers with zirconium fume exposure for 1 to 5 years. | |
| [Skin] Dermal exposure to zirconium in topical poison ivy medications and deodorants has caused subcutaneous granulomas, probably due to a hypersensitivity reaction. | |
| [Ingestion] Ingestion of certain zirconium salts may cause irritant or caustic effects. | |
| [Personal Protection] Clothing contaminated with zirconium oxychloride, zirconyl acetate, or zirconium tetrachloride should be placed in closed containers for storage until it can be discarded or until provision is made for the removal of containment from the clothing. | |
| [Respirators] Use NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator appropriate for exposure of concern. | |
| [Exposure Effects] Experimental animals exposed to massive doses have developed CNS depression. Two individuals administered 50 milligrams of zirconium malate intravenously developed vertigo. Small fractions of zirconium were absorbed in female rats by the oral route, and the metal seemed to concentrate in the ovaries and produce hypervascularization. <br>In mice, offspring of clams who received zirconium during pregnancy had long-lasting behavioral changes. <br>Zirconium is found in newborn rats. <br>In rats, zirconium appears in the breast milk. | |
| [Exposure limit(s)] IDHL: 500 mg/m3 | |
| [Poison Class] 4 | |
| [Appearance] White or yellow silky odorless crystals. | |
