**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Harmful if swallowed. Toxic by inhalation. Irritating to respiratory
system and skin. Risk of serious damage to eyes. May cause cancer.
Harmful : danger of serious damage to health by prolonged exposure
if swallowed.Moisture sensitive.Cancer suspect agent.Lachrymator
(substance which increases the flow of tears).
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation. Lachrymator (substance which increases the
flow of tears). May cause chemical conjunctivitis and corneal
damage.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. May cause severe irritation of the digestive
tract.
Inhalation:
May be fatal if inhaled. Causes respiratory tract irritation.
Chronic:
Potential cancer hazard.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for
at least 15 minutes. Get medical aid immediately.
Skin:
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for
at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Get medical aid immediately. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Get medical aid immediately.
If victim is fully conscious, give a cupful of water. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Inhalation:
POISON material. If inhaled, get medical aid immediately. Remove
victim to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration.
If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
**** SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES ****
General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
protective gear. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers
cool. May accumulate static electrical charges, and may cause
ignition of its own vapors. Fire or excessive heat may result in
violent rupture of the container due to bulk polymerization.
Combustible liquid and vapor. Approach fire from upwind to avoid
hazardous vapors and toxic decomposition products. Vapors are
heavier than air and may travel to a source of ignition and flash
back. Vapors can spread along the ground and collect in low or
confined areas.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or appropriate foam.
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth),
then place in suitable container. Clean up spills immediately,
observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Remove all
sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool. Provide ventilation.
Approach spill from upwind.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Ground and bond containers when
transferring material. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing.
Empty containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and
can be dangerous. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder,
drill, grind, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or open
flames. Use only with adequate ventilation. Keep away from heat and
flame. Do not breathe vapor or mist. Keep dry and use promptly.
Handle only in corrosion resistant equipment avoiding iron,
aluminum, and brass.
Storage:
Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Storage for
long periods is not recommended. Store protected from moisture. Vent
periodically. Keep away from oxidizing agents.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped
with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate general or
local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the
permissible exposure limits.

**** SECTION 10 - STABILITY AND REACTIVITY ****
Chemical Stability:
Unstabilized benzyl chloride undergoes a self-condensation reaction
in the presence of all common metals (except nickel and lead) with
the liberation of heat and hydrogen chloride. Decomposition and
polymerization reactions are inhibited to a limited extent by
addition of triethylamine, propylene oxide, or sodium carbonate.
