Hazard category:
Route of exposure:
Health hazards: Carbon disulfide is a toxin that can damage nerves and blood vessels. Acute poisoning: Mild poisoning is characterized by dizziness, headache, and irritation of the eye and nasal mucosa ； Moderate poisoning still presents with symptoms of intoxication ； Severe poisoning can present with a short period of excitement, followed by delirium, coma, and loss of consciousness, accompanied by tonic and clonic convulsions. Death can occur due to paralysis of the respiratory center. Severe poisoning can result in a fatigue syndrome, as well as permanent damage to the central and peripheral nerves. Chronic poisoning: Symptoms include neurasthenic syndrome, autonomic nervous system dysfunction, multiple peripheral neuropathies, and toxic encephalopathy. Ophthalmoscopy: retinal microaneurysms, arteriosclerosis, optic atrophy. Environmental hazards: Fire and explosion risk: This product is highly flammable and irritating. Part 4: First Aid Measures Return to Table of Contents Skin contact: Immediately remove contaminated clothing and rinse with plenty of flowing water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention. Eye contact: Lift the eyelids and rinse with flowing water or saline. Seek medical attention. Inhalation: Immediately move to a place with fresh air. Keep the airway clear. If there is difficulty breathing, administer oxygen. If breathing stops, perform artificial respiration immediately. Seek medical attention. Ingestion: Drink plenty of warm water and induce vomiting. Seek medical attention. Part 5: Fire-fighting measures Return to table of contents Hazardous properties: Highly flammable; its vapors can form explosive mixtures with air over a wide range of concentrations. It is prone to combustion and explosion upon contact with heat, sparks, flames, or oxidizers. Upon heating, it decomposes to produce toxic sulfide fumes. It reacts violently with aluminum, zinc, potassium, fluorine, chlorine, azides, etc., posing a risk of combustion and explosion. High-speed impact, flow, and turbulence can cause combustion and explosion due to the generation of static electric spark discharges. Its vapor is heavier than air, allowing it to spread over considerable distances at lower levels; it will catch fire and ignite again when it comes into contact with a source of flame. Harmful combustion products: carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, sulfur oxides. Extinguishing methods: Spray water to cool the container; if possible, move the container away from the fire to an open area. If a container in a fire has changed color or noises are coming from its safety pressure relief device, it must be evacuated immediately. Fire extinguishing agents: fogged water, foam, dry powder, carbon dioxide, sand. Part 6: Emergency Response to Leaks Return to Table of Contents Emergency Response: Quickly evacuate people from the area contaminated by the leak to a safe zone, and isolate it while strictly restricting access. Cut off the source of fire. It is recommended that emergency responders wear self-contained positive-pressure breathing apparatus and anti-static work clothing. Do not come into direct contact with the spill. Seal the source of leakage as much as possible. Prevent entry into confined spaces such as sewers and drainage ditches. Minor leaks: Absorb with sand, vermiculite, or other inert materials. Large-scale leakage: Build dikes or dig pits to contain it. Spray water or foam to cool and dilute steam, protecting personnel on site. Transfer to a tank truck or specialized collector using an explosion-proof pump, and recycle it or transport it to a waste disposal facility for disposal. Part 7: Handling, Disposal, and Storage Back to Table of Contents Handling Precautions: Operate in a sealed environment with local exhaust ventilation. Operators must receive specialized training and strictly adhere to the operating procedures. It is recommended that operators wear self-priming filter-type gas masks (half-masks), chemical safety goggles, anti-static work clothing, and oil-resistant rubber gloves. Stay away from sources of fire and heat; smoking is strictly prohibited in the workplace. Use explosion-proof ventilation systems and equipment. Prevent steam from leaking into the workplace air. Avoid contact with oxidizers, amines, and alkali metals. During filling, the flow rate should be controlled, and a grounding device should be in place to prevent static electricity buildup. Equipped with fire-fighting equipment of appropriate types and quantities, as well as emergency response equipment for leaks. Empty containers may still contain harmful substances. Storage precautions: It is volatile at room temperature; therefore, the surface of the container can be covered with water. Store in a cool, well-ventilated warehouse. Keep away from flames and heat sources. The storage temperature should not exceed 30°C. Keep the container sealed. It should be stored separately from oxidizers, amines, alkali metals, and food chemicals; mixed storage is strictly prohibited. Use explosion-proof lighting and ventilation facilities. The use of mechanical equipment and tools that may generate sparks is prohibited. The storage area should be equipped with emergency response equipment for leaks and appropriate containment materials.

Respiratory protection: When there is a possible exposure to its vapors, a self-priming filter-type respirator (half-mask) must be worn. Eye protection: Wear chemical safety goggles. Body protection: Wear anti-static work clothes. Hand protection: Wear rubber oil-resistant gloves. Other protections: Smoking is strictly prohibited at the work site. After finishing work, take a shower and change clothes. Pay attention to personal hygiene.
