It is a chemical with the chemical formula Na2S2O5 a salt of metabisulfuric acid. Its use must take into account safety and environmental impact. Environmental impact: It can dissolve in water and may form sulfuric acid in the environment. Therefore, waste should be properly managed to prevent impact on the environment and living things.
Inhalation Move the victim to fresh air and keep them in a position comfortable for breathing. If symptoms worsen, Get medical attention.
Skin contact Remove contaminated clothing and shoes immediately. Flush with warm water for 15 minutes. If the contaminated area is extensive, pour water over clothing and body. If skin irritation occurs, Get medical attention.
Eye contact : Flush eyes with plenty of water, holding the eyelids wide open for at least 15 minutes, Get medical attention.
IngestionRinse mouth with clean water and drink plenty of water. Do not induce vomiting. Get medical attention.
Store in a place away from heat and humidity. The substance should be avoided or protected from shock, compression and scratching which may result in changes in the structure or properties of the substance. It should be stored separately from acids and oxidizing agents.
