**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Irritating to eyes. Limited evidence of a carcinogenic effect. Very
toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in
the aquatic environment.

Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation. Exposure to high vapor concentrations may
cause irritation.
Skin:
Solid produces burning sensation when held in contact with the skin,
but irritation is slight.
Ingestion:
May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea. May cause liver and kidney damage.
Inhalation:
Causes respiratory tract irritation. May cause liver and kidney
damage. Inhalation of vapors causes irritation of eyes, throat, and
skin. Exposure may cause anorexia, nausea, vomiting, weight loss and
hepatic necrosis with jaundice. Exposure may cause headache and
rhinitis (inflammation of the mucous membrane of the nose).
Chronic:
Possible cancer hazard based on tests with laboratory animals. May
cause anemia and other blood cell abnormalities. Animal studies
indicate that the product may affect the liver and kidneys.

**** 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.
Skin:
In case of contact, flush skin with plenty of water. Remove
contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if irritation
develops and persists. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
If swallowed, do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by
medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person. Get medical aid.
Inhalation:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician:

**** 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. Dusts at sufficient concentrations can form
explosive mixtures with air. During a fire, irritating and highly
toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion.
Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Combustible
liquid and vapor. 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:
Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal
container. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Remove all sources of
ignition. Provide ventilation.

**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****

Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Minimize dust
generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and
clothing. Avoid breathing dust. Avoid breathing vapor. Keep away from
heat and flame.
Storage:
Keep away from heat and flame. Store in a tightly closed container.
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible
substances.

**** 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.
