See Section 9 for Flammability Properties 

Negligible fire hazard. Oxidizer. May ignite or explode on contact with combustible materials. 

water Do not use dry chemicals, carbon dioxide or halogenated extinguishing agents. Large fires: Flood with water. Apply water from a protected location or from a safe distance. 

Move container from fire area if it can be done without risk. Cool containers with water spray until well after the fire is out. Stay away from the ends of tanks. For fires in cargo or storage area: Cool containers with water from unmanned hose holder or monitor nozzles until well after fire is out. If this is impossible then take the following precautions: Keep unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry. Let the fire burn. Flood with water. Cool containers with water spray until well after the fire is out. Apply water from a protected location or from a safe distance. Avoid inhalation of material or combustion by-products. Evacuate if fire gets out of control or containers are directly exposed to fire. Evacuation radius: 800 meters (1/2 mile). 

Avoid contact with combustible materials. Do not touch spilled material. Small dry spills: Move containers away from spill to a safe area. Small liquid spills: Absorb with sand or other non-combustible material. Collect spilled material in appropriate container for disposal. Large spills: Dike for later disposal. Keep unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry. 

Store and handle in accordance with all current regulations and standards. NFPA 430 Code for the Storage of Liquid and Solid Oxidizing Materials. Store in a cool, dry place. Store in a tightly closed container. 

Component Exposure Limits 

Biological limit value 

Provide local exhaust ventilation system. Ensure compliance with applicable exposure limits. 

Eyes/Face Wear splash resistant safety goggles. Provide an emergency eye wash fountain and quick drench shower in the immediate work area. 

Wear appropriate chemical resistant clothing. 

Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves. 

Under conditions of frequent use or heavy exposure, respiratory protection may be needed. Respiratory protection is ranked in order from minimum to maximum. Consider warning properties before use. Any particulate respirator equipped with an N95, R95, or P95 filter (including N95, R95, and P95 filtering facepieces) except quarter-mask respirators. The following filters may also be used: N99, R99, P99, N100, R100 or P100. Any air-purifying full-facepiece respirator equipped with an N95, R95, or P95 filter. The following filters may also be used: N99, R99, P99, N100, R100 or P100. Any powered, air-purifying respirator with a high-efficiency particulate filter. Any powered, air-purifying respirator with a tight-fitting facepiece and a high-efficiency particulate filter. Any supplied-air respirator with a full facepiece that is operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode. For Unknown Concentrations or Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health - Any supplied-air respirator with a full facepiece that is operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode in combination with an auxiliary self-contained breathing apparatus operated in pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode. Any self-contained breathing apparatus that has a full facepiece and is operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode. 

May react with evolution of heat on contact with water. 

Avoid contact with combustible materials. May ignite or explode on contact with combustible materials. Keep out of water supplies and sewers.

RARE EARTH SALTS No data available.

RARE EARTH SALTS: Exposure to the vapors of some rare earth salts has been reported to result in sensitivity to heat, itching, and an increased awareness of odor and taste Bronchiolitis, subacute bronchitis, acute transient chemical pneumonitis, focal hypertrophic emphysema, regional bronchiolar stricturing, cellular eosinophilia, and in some cases fatal delayed chemical hyperemia have been reported in animals exposed to rare earth fluoride and/or oxide mixtures Lung granulomas have also been reported in animals.

RARE EARTH SALTS: Rare earth salts are unlikely to cause irritation to intact skin Tested on rabbit skin, most rare earth salts have produced extensive injury to abraded skin, with erythema, edema, and necrosis, resulting in epilation and scar formation.

RARE EARTH SALTS No data available.

YTTERBIUM TRINITRATE: May cause irritation See information on rare earth salts.

RARE EARTH SALTS In rabbit eyes, some rare earth salts have caused irritation of the conjunctiva with ulcers; on denuded corneas, permanent opacity has occurred.

RARE EARTH SALTS No data available.

YTTERBIUM TRINITRATE: May cause irritation See information on rare earth salts.

RARE EARTH SALTS: Intestinal absorption is usually poor Writhing, labored and depressed respiration, abdominal irritation and cramps, diarrhea, ataxia, lethargy, sedation, and lacrimation have been observed in animals after ingestion and/or parenteral administration of some rare earth salts In surviving animals, generalized peritonitis, true granulomatous peritonitis, adhesions, hemorrhagic ascitic fluid and focal hepatic necrosis were observed.

RARE EARTH SALTS Administration of a rare earth compound to rats for 12 weeks at dietary levels of 0.01%, 0.1%, and 1% uniformly had no influence on growth or hematologic variables.
