Trinitrophenenetol Urea nitrate Trinitroresorcinol EXAMPLES OF SOLID IRRITANTS: Caustic Alkalis: Elements and Salt: Alkaline sulfides Elemental sodium Sodium hydroxide Elemental potassium Sodium carbon Elemental phosphorus Sodium silicate Antimony and its salt Potassium carbonate Arsenic and its salt Ammonium carbonate Chromium/alkaline chromates Barium hydroxide Copper sulfate Barium carbonate Copper cyanide Trisodium phosphate Mercuric salts Lime (both hydrated and dehydrated) Zinc chloride Calcium cyanamide Silver nitrate Phenol CONCLUSION: The control of corrosive-irritants must include proper protective equipment, proper emergency response training, properly designed and maintained ventilation equipment and periodic exposure surveys. When irritants are used, carefully study must be made to evaluate the problem and to design control equipment. In addition to control of process exposure, provisions must be made to protect all persons during usual conditions as spills or explosions. This requires thorough safety training in the proper use of respirators and other protective equipment. It is important that all persons be trained in proper first aid and evacuation techniques. and Pyrophorics: A number of chemicals react with water or moisture in the air producing heat or toxic gases (alkali metals, hydrides, peroxides, phosphides and aluminum halides). Pyrophorics: Chemicals that react spontaneously and violently on exposure to air leading to spontaneous ignition. EXAMPLES OF WATER REACTIVE CHEMICALS: Alkali Metals: Potassium metal (K) Sodium (Na)
