First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist such as coughing or respiratory distress.
Skin Contact: Wash gently with soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse.
Eye Contact: Rinse with gentle flow of water for several minutes, holding eyelids apart. Seek eye specialist attention if irritation continues.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with clean water. Do not induce vomiting unless instructed by medical personnel. Contact poison control or emergency medical help immediately.

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide, or water spray.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Direct water jet may disperse dust.
Specific Hazards: Product does not ignite easily but may generate toxic fumes in fire—carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides, and ammonia may evolve.
Protective Equipment: Firefighters must use self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing to avoid inhalation of decomposition products.
Additional Advice: Move containers away from fire if safe. Prevent runoff to sewers or waterways.

Accidental Release Measures

Spill Response: Avoid creating dust. Sweep up with non-sparking tools or use a dust-free vacuum with HEPA filter.
Personal Precautions: Wear gloves, goggles, lab coat, and particulate mask.
Environmental Precautions: Do not flush into streams, drains, or soil. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.
Cleaning Up: Place collected product in clean, labeled tamper-proof containers for disposal, following waste regulations. Ventilate affected area thorough

Handling and Storage

Handling: Use in a well-ventilated area, or fume hood when handling powders. Minimize generation of dust. Use appropriate PPE.
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands, forearms, and face after handling. Do not eat, drink, or smoke in areas where materials are handled.
Storage Conditions: Store in a tightly closed container, in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight and incompatible substances.
Incompatibilities: Store away from oxidizing agents and acids. Avoid contact with strong bases or reactive chemicals which may decompose tartrate salts.

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Occupational Exposure Limits: No specific occupational exposure limits are established for BAP-L-Tartrate. Use general exposure limit for nuisance dust—10 mg/m3 (total inhalable), 3 mg/m3 (respirable) as recommended by ACGIH.
Engineering Controls: Use laboratory fume hood, dust extraction, or local exhaust ventilation to control airborne concentrations.
Individual Protection: Gloves made of nitrile or PVC, lab coat, safety goggles or glasses with side protection, and disposable particulate mask (P2 or higher), depending on likelihood of dust formation.
Environmental Protection: Avoid emissions into the environment. Collect waste in designated, leakproof containers for proper disposal.

Physical and Chemical Properties

Appearance: White to off-white crystalline or powdered solid
Odor: Odorless or faint organic odor
pH (1% solution): Approximately 4.0–6.5
Melting Point: Decomposes above 180°C, exact melting point may depend on hydrate
Boiling Point: Not applicable, decomposes before boiling
Solubility: Freely soluble in water, sparingly soluble in ethanol and other polar solvents
Density: Typically ranges from 1.3–1.5 g/cm3
Vapor Pressure: Not relevant for the solid form
Molecular Weight: Approximately 376 g/mol (depends on degree of hydration)

Stability and Reactivity

Chemical Stability: Stable at recommended storage conditions, very slow decomposition under normal laboratory use.
Reactivity: Unreactive under ambient conditions. Possible acid-sensitive under strong acidic conditions, but lab concentrations rarely reach this range.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Heating to decomposition releases oxides of carbon and nitrogen, ammonia, and tartrate byproducts.
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizing agents, strong acids or bases.
Polymerization: Not expected to occur.

Toxicological Information

Acute Toxicity: Oral rat LD50 value for similar compounds >2000 mg/kg body weight, low acute health hazard expected at typical exposure levels.
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: May cause irritation with prolonged or repeated contact.
Serious Eye Damage/Irritation: Direct contact may trigger redness, watering.
Respiratory Sensitization: Dust can cause irritation or cough in sensitive users.
Carcinogenicity: Not listed as carcinogenic under IARC, NTP, or OSHA.
Mutagenicity: No data supporting genotoxicity under normal handling.
Other Chronic Effects: Limited evidence for effects due to low systemic absorption.

Ecological Information

Toxicity: No harsh aquatic toxicity data available; structurally similar compounds show low risk to aquatic life at typical concentrations.
Persistence and Degradability: Likely biodegradable in natural environments, as tartrate salts break down gradually via microbial action.
Bioaccumulative Potential: Low likelihood for bioaccumulation given moderate water solubility and metabolism in soil.
Mobility in Soil: Moderately mobile, but binds readily to organic matter. Transport through groundwater unlikely in most settings.
Other Adverse Effects: Prevent large concentrations from entering waterways to reduce localized eutrophication or chemical stress.

Disposal Considerations

Disposal Methods: Contaminated material, waste, or expired product must be disposed according to local or regional waste regulations. Incineration at approved chemical waste facility can be an option.
Unclean Packaging: Wash and recycle if possible, or dispose as hazardous laboratory chemical waste.
Special Precautions: Avoid dispersal into environment. Label waste clearly with chemical identity and date collected.

Transport Information

UN Number: Not regulated for transport internationally by road, air, or sea.
Proper Shipping Name: Lab chemical, not otherwise specified.
Transport Hazard Class: Not classified as dangerous for transport.
Packing Group: Not assigned.
Special Procedures: Transport in sealed, labeled containers to prevent spillage or accidental contamination. Keep upright and secured during transit.

Regulatory Information

US-OSHA: Not classed as hazardous according to US OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200).
EU-REACH: Not listed for registration or restriction under European REACH Regulation.
Other Country Restrictions: Check specific country or regional chemical inventories for updated status.
Labelling Requirements: Safety data sheets and proper hazard signage recommended at point of use and storage.
Workplace Controls: Institutions should maintain training, risk assessments, and availability of eyewash/showers per chemical safety programs.
GHS Classification: Complies with globally harmonized system where applicable for laboratory chemical safety.
