Here is another project on a toxic chemical called DMSO Dimethyl Sulfoxide (toxic chemical); chemical Structure, physical properties, chemical uses, chemical toxicity and chemical exposure, GHS hazard statements, Storage, handling, PPE Personal protective equipment

2. Synonyms: Methyl sulfoxide
Methylsulfinylmethane
Molecular Formula: C2H6OS or (CH3)2SO
Molecular Weight: 78.14 g/mol

4. • Dimethyl sulfoxide appears as a clear liquid,
essentially odourless
• Vapour density is higher than air;
2.71 (air=1)
• Boiling point: 372˚F t 760 mm Hg
• Melting point:65.3˚F

6. • Used as a non medicinal Industrial solvent for resins, fungicides,
dyes, pigments.
• Used as reactant for chemical synthesis Antifreeze Hydraulic
fluid, Paint remover, Medicinal Anti-inflammatory agent.
• It was reported that DMSO penetrate through the skin and
produce analgesia, decrease pain, and promote tissue healing.
• DMSO is an abundant relatively cheap byproduct of the wood pulp
industry with a primary use as an industrial solvent.

9. • Dermal exposure to DMSO causes skin reactions, erythema and
pruritis, which appear immediately after contact with the
undiluted substance
• Topical and intradermal application of DMSO produced garlic
breath, mast cell degranulation, an increase in
polymorphonuclear leukocytes and perivascular eosinophils,
itching, and histamine mediated and non-histamine dependent
whealing and erythematous flare.
• Two drops of >50% DMSO in the eye caused a temporary burning
sensation and vasodilatation

11. • H315 (93.69%): Causes skin irritation [Skin corrosion]
• H319 (96.85%): Causes serious eye irritation [permanent eye
damage]
• H335 (40.06%): May cause respiratory irritation [target organ
toxicity]
➢ These H-statements are part of the ‘Globally Harmonized System’ (GHS) of
classification & labelling of Chemicals
➢ Information may vary between notifications depending on impurities, additives, and
other factors.
➢ The percentage value in parenthesis indicates the notified classification ratio from
companies that provide hazard codes.

13. • Safe Storage:
Separated from strong oxidants.
Keep in a cool, dark and well-ventilated room.
• Storage Conditions:
Store away from oxidizing agents, heat, and
ignition sources.

14. • Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
gloves, safety goggles, Skin protection. Respiratory
filter if airborne sprays or drops are present.
