Mercuric benzoate Safety Profile

The Hazard Codes of Mercuric benzoate (CAS NO.583-15-3): VeryT+DangerousN
Risk Statements:R26/27/28:Very toxic by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed. R33:Danger of cumulative effects. R50/53:Very toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.
Safety Statements:S13:Keep away from food, drink and animal foodstuffs. S28:After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of soap-suds. S36:Wear suitable protective clothing. S45:In case of accident or if you feel unwell, seek medical advice immediately (show the label whenever possible.) S60:This material and its container must be disposed of as hazardous waste. S61:Avoid release to the environment. Refer to special instructions / safety data sheets.  
Health Hazard: TOXIC; inhalation, ingestion or skin contact with material may cause severe injury or death. Contact with molten substance may cause severe burns to skin and eyes. Avoid any skin contact. Effects of contact or inhalation may be delayed. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may be corrosive and/or toxic and cause pollution.
Fire Hazard: Non-combustible, substance itself does not burn but may decompose upon heating to produce corrosive and/or toxic fumes. Some are oxidizers and may ignite combustibles (wood, paper, oil, clothing, etc.). Contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen gas. Containers may explode when heated.
A poison. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Hg. See also MERCURY COMPOUNDS, INORGANIC; MERCURY COMPOUNDS, ORGANIC.
