Sulfer is the chemical element with the atomic number 16, represented by the symbol "S". In nature Sulfer can be found as a pure element and as Sulfide and Sulfate. Sulfer is a nonmetal and found in a solid phase. Sulfer has been around a long time since ancient times. The ancient civilasation used to refer to burning sulfer a "brimestone", givng rise to the name 'Fire-and-Brimestone' sermons. In 1777 Antoine Lavoiser helped convince the scientific comunity that sulfer was an element and not a compund.
Aluminum is the chemical element with the atomic number 13, represented by the symbol "Al".
Aluminum was first discovered by H.C. Oersted in 1825. Aluminum is a soft, durable, lightwight, ductile and malleable metal with the appearance ranging from silvery to dull gray. Aluminum is mostly never found in the elemental state; instead it is found in Oxides or Silicates. Aluminum isnt found in free, mattalic form and it was once considered a precious metal, more valuble then Gold. Aluminum is also known as Aluminium
MSDS
Effects of Exposure:
- The chemical, physical and toxicological properties of aluminum sulfide have not been thoroughly investigated and recorded. Aluminum compounds have many commercial uses and are commonly found in industry. Many of these materials are active chemically and thus exhibit dangerous toxic and reactive properties. Inhalation of fine aluminum oxide particles is associated with shaver's disease (sax, Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, eighth edition).
- Acute Effects:
- Inhalation: SEVERE IRRITANT AND CORROSIVE. May cause irritation to the nose, throat and mucous membranes.
- Ingestion: SEVERE IRRITANT AND CORROSIVE. May cause gastrointestinal irritation.
- Skin: SEVERE IRRITANT AND CORROSIVE. May cause irritation to moist skin due to the liberation of hydrogen sulfide.
- Eye: SEVERE IRRITANT AND CORROSIVE.
- Chronic Effects:
- Inhalation: Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause pneumoconiosis, coma and pulmonary edema.
- Ingestion: No chronic health effects recorded.
- Skin: No chronic health effects recorded.
- Eye: No chronic health effects.
SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES
- Wear appropriate respiratory and protective equipment. Isolate spill area and provide ventilation. Vacuum up spill using a high efficiency particulate absolute (HEPA) air filter and place in a closed container for proper disposal. Take care not to raise dust.
