	ACUTE HAZARDS	PREVENTION	FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE & EXPLOSION	Combustible under specific conditions. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire.		Use water spray, powder, foam, carbon dioxide.

PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST! STRICT HYGIENE! IN ALL CASES CONSULT A DOCTOR!
	SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID
Inhalation	Cough. Laboured breathing. Shortness of breath.	Use local exhaust or breathing protection.	Fresh air, rest. Half-upright position. Artificial respiration may be needed. Refer for medical attention.
Skin	MAY BE ABSORBED!	Protective gloves. Protective clothing.	Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
Eyes		Wear safety goggles, face shield or eye protection in combination with breathing protection.	First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
Ingestion	Abdominal pain. Vomiting. Laboured breathing.	Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating.	Give a slurry of activated charcoal in water to drink. Induce vomiting (ONLY IN CONSCIOUS PERSONS!). Refer for medical attention .

SPILLAGE DISPOSAL	CLASSIFICATION & LABELLING
Personal protection: particulate filter respirator adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Sweep spilled substance into covered containers. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Carefully collect remainder. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.	According to UN GHS Criteria Transportation UN Classification UN Hazard Class: 6.1; UN Pack Group: II
STORAGE
Separated from strong oxidants, silver nitrate and food and feedstuffs.
PACKAGING
Do not transport with food and feedstuffs.

PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL INFORMATION
Physical State; Appearance WHITE ODOURLESS CRYSTALLINE POWDER. Physical dangers Chemical dangers Decomposes on heating. This produces toxic gases and toxic fumes including nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides and carbon monoxide. Reacts with strong oxidants such as silver nitrate. This generates fire and explosion hazard.	Formula: C₁₁H₁₀N₂S / C₁0H₇NHCSNH₂ Molecular mass: 202.3 Decomposes: see Notes. Melting point: 198°C Density: >1 g/cm³ Solubility in water: none Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 1.66 (calculated)

EXPOSURE & HEALTH EFFECTS
Routes of exposure The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol, through the skin and by ingestion. Effects of short-term exposure Exposure could cause lung oedema. Medical observation is indicated.	Inhalation risk Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly. Effects of long-term or repeated exposure
