Aaaaah, Sicherheitsdatenblätter. Wunderbare Bettlektüre und immer diese tollen Schreckensszenarios.

Hier ein netter Auszug aus dem Sicherheitsdatenblatt für diese hochgefährliche Substanz namens H20, von der sich einige Bekloppte hier gut 3-4 Liter am Tag reinschütten:


IV. FIRE & EXPLOSION DATA

Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazard: Rapid temperature rise of liquid can result in explosive vaporization, particularly if in a sealed container.


V. HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION

Inhalation
Acute over exposure: Inhalation can result in asphyxiation and is often fatal.

Skin Contact
Acute overexposure: Prolonged but constant contact with liquid may cause a mild dermatitis.
Chronic overexposure: Mild to severe dermatitis.

Ingestion
Acute overexposure: Excessive ingestion of liquid form can cause gastric distress and mild diarrhea.

Emergency and First Aid Procedures
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air; Provide artificial respiration; Provide oxygen.



VI. REACTIVITY DATA

Conditions contributing to instability: Exposure to direct current electricity.

Incompatibility: Strong acids and bases can cause rapid heating. Reaction with sodium metal can result in explosion.

Hazardous decomposition products: Hydrogen - Explosive gas Oxygen - Supports rapid combustion



VII. SPILL or LEAK PROCEDURES

Steps to be taken if material is released or spilled:

Small quantities can be mopped or wiped up with rags.
Large quantities should be directed to collecting basin or drain with dikes or swabs.

Waste disposal method:

Process contaminated material through treatment plant prior to discharge into environment. Discharge permit may be required.



VIII. SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION

Ventilation requirements:

Remove hot vapor from environment using local exhaust systems.


Specific personal protective equipment:

Respiratory: None required.
Eyes: Goggles or full face splash shield when dealing with hot liquid.
Hands: Use insulating gloves when extensive exposure to solid state or high temperature liquid state is contemplated.
Other clothing and equipment: Use heat protective garment when exposed to large quantities of heated vapor.


IX. SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS

Precautionary statements:

Compound readily exists in all three phases at atmospheric pressure. Phase changes occur over a narrow (100oC/212oF) temperature range.
Compound is known as "the universal solvent" and does dissolve, at least to some extent, most common materials.
Compound will conduct electricity when dissolved ionic solutes are present.


Other handling and storage requirements:

A high pressure containment vessel should be used for the vapor at high temperatures.
Do not allow filled, closed containers to solidify as compound expands upon freezing.
