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

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Highly flammable. Toxic by inhalation, in contact with skin and if
swallowed.Possible risks of irreversible effects.

Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Vapors cause eye irritation.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation. Harmful if absorbed through the skin.
Ingestion:
May be fatal if swallowed. Contains cyanide.
Inhalation:
Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. Vapor or mist is
irritating to the mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract.
Chronic:
May cause cyanosis - a blue-gray coloring of the skin and lips
caused by a lack of oxygen. Massive doses may produce, without
warning, sudden loss of consciousness and prompt death from
respiratory arrest.

**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****

Eyes:
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid
immediately.
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4
cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Get medical aid immediately.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
air immediately. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Administer
oxygen. If breathing has ceased apply artificial respiration using
oxygen and a suitable mechanical device such as a bag and a mask.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Antidote:
Always have a cyanide antidote kit on hand when working with cyanide
compounds. Get medical advice to use. The combination of sodium
thiosulfate and hydroxycobalamin has been used as an effective
antidote.

**** 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. Vapors may form an explosive mixture with air.
Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash back. During a
fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal
decomposition or combustion. Will burn if involved in a fire. Use
water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Water may be
ineffective. Material is lighter than water and a fire may be spread
by the use of water. Containers may explode in the heat of a fire.
Flammable liquid and vapor. Vapors may be heavier than air. They
can spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas.
Extinguishing Media:
For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or
alcohol-resistant foam. For large fires, use water spray, fog, or
alcohol-resistant foam. Do NOT use water directly on fire. Use water
spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Use foam, dry chemical, or
carbon dioxide. Water may be ineffective. Do NOT use straight streams
of water. 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. A
vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors.

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

Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Ground and bond containers when transferring
material. Use spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment. Empty
containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be
dangerous. Keep container tightly closed. Keep away from heat, sparks
and flame. Do not get on skin or in eyes. Do not ingest or inhale.
Use with adequate ventilation. Wash clothing before reuse. Do not
pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty
containers to heat, sparks or open flames.
Storage:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Keep away from sources of
ignition. Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
Flammables-area.

**** 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
ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.
Exposure Limits
CAS# 107-12-0:


Personal Protective Equipment

Eyes:
Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical
safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face
protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European
Standard EN166.
Skin:
Wear appropriate gloves to prevent skin exposure.
Clothing:
Wear appropriate clothing to prevent skin exposure.
Respirators:
Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29
CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Use a
NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved
respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if
irritation or other symptoms are experienced.

**** SECTION 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION ****

RTECS#:
CAS# 107-12-0: UF9625000
LD50/LC50:
CAS# 107-12-0: Draize test, rabbit, eye: 100 mg/24H Moderate; Draize
test, rabbit, skin: 500 mg/24H Mild; Inhalation, mouse: LC50 = 163
ppm/1H; Oral, mouse: LD50 = 35797 ug/kg; Oral, rat: LD50 = 39 mg/kg;
Skin, rabbit: LD50 = 210 uL/kg.

**** SECTION 12 - ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION ****

Ecotoxicity:
Estimated BCF Value = 0.78. This value suggests that propionitrile is
not expected to bioconcentrate in aquatic organisms. Estimated Koc
Value = 1.2. This suggests that it will not be expected to adsorb
