Chemical: Lanthanum Nitrate Hexahydrate
EC Number: 233-238-0
Concentration: Greater than 98% purity
Impurities: Water of hydration, trace rare earth elements
Hazardous Components: Anhydrous lanthanum nitrate is an oxidizer, and the hydrated form inherits similar risks
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air, keep at rest, provide oxygen if breathing is difficult, seek medical attention if symptoms persist
Skin Contact: Wash thoroughly with soap and plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, remove contaminated clothing, seek medical advice if irritation develops
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes, remove contact lenses if present and easy to do, continue rinsing, seek immediate medical support if irritation does not subside
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water, never induce vomiting unless advised by a medical professional, seek immediate attention from a poison control center or doctor
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, foam, dry powder, or carbon dioxide; do not use water jet for fires involving combustible materials
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Avoid direct water jet on spilled chemicals; this could spread contaminated material
Special Fire Hazards: Substance can accelerate the burning of combustible material; gives off toxic nitrogen oxide gases during fire
Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear; remove sources of ignition if possible
Firefighting Instructions: Evacuate area, contain runoff to prevent contamination of water sources, approach fire from upwind, keep containers cool with water spray
Personal Precautions: Use protective gloves, goggles, and dust mask; avoid generating dust
Environmental Precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so; avoid discharge into drains, waterways, or soil
Methods for Cleanup: Sweep up and shovel material, place into suitable closed containers for proper disposal, ventilate area, wash spill site with soap and water after material pickup is complete
Emergency Procedures: Remove nonessential personnel from spill area, isolate hazard area, suppress dust with damp cloth if needed
Handling: Keep away from combustible materials; avoid dust generation and direct contact with skin and eyes; use only with adequate ventilation; do not eat, drink, or smoke during handling
Storage Conditions: Store in tightly closed containers, in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat sources, acids, flammable or organic substances; keep container upright and securely sealed when not in use
Material Incompatibilities: Keep separate from reducing agents, organic materials, sulfur, powdered metals
Packaging Materials: Use original packaging or chemically resistant containers
Other Precautions: Employ good industrial hygiene practices; keep storage area clearly labeled
Exposure Limits: No established occupational exposure limits for lanthanum nitrate; limit exposure by engineering controls
Engineering Controls: Use with adequate local exhaust ventilation or in fume hood
Personal Protective Equipment: Wear chemical-resistant gloves, lab coat, safety goggles, and appropriate respiratory protection if exposure limits are exceeded or dust is produced
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands, face, and exposed skin after handling; launder contaminated clothing before reuse
Environmental Controls: Prevent release to the environment, use spill containment where necessary

Hazardous Decomposition Products: Releases nitrogen oxides (NOx) and lanthanum oxides under fire or decomposition
Polymerization: Will not occur under normal handling and storage
Acute Toxicity: Low acute oral and dermal toxicity based on available data; harmful if swallowed
Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, ingestion, skin, and eye contact
Symptoms: Irritation to skin, eyes, and respiratory tract; coughing, shortness of breath, redness, burning sensation
Chronic Exposure: Prolonged or repeated exposure may lead to kidney, liver, or lung effects based on lanthanide toxicity studies
Carcinogenicity: No data connecting lanthanum nitrate to cancer in humans
Mutagenicity: Not classified as mutagenic
Reproductive Toxicity: Not expected based on standard hazard data available
Ecotoxicity: Toxic to aquatic organisms with long lasting effects
Persistence and Degradability: Inorganic compound, not biodegradable; may persist in the environment
Bioaccumulation: Not expected to bioaccumulate significantly in aquatic or terrestrial environments
