**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Highly flammable. Toxic by inhalation, in contact with skin and if
swallowed. Irritating to skin. May cause cancer.Highly
flammable.Light sensitive.Lachrymator (substance which increases the
flow of tears).
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes severe eye irritation. May result in corneal injury.
Lachrymator (substance which increases the flow of tears). Causes
redness and pain.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation. Harmful if absorbed through the skin. May
cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes
evident upon re-exposure to this material. Prolonged and/or repeated
contact may cause defatting of the skin and dermatitis. Toxic in
contact with skin.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. Symptoms may include: headache, excitement,
fatigue, nausea, vomiting, stupor, and coma.
Inhalation:
May be fatal if inhaled. Inhalation of high concentrations may cause
central nervous system effects characterized by nausea, headache,
dizziness, unconsciousness and coma. May cause cyanosis (bluish
discoloration of skin due to deficient oxygenation of the blood). May
cause irritation of the respiratory tract with burning pain in the
nose and throat, coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath and
pulmonary edema. Exposure to high concentrations may cause weakness,
asphyxia, and death.
Chronic:
May cause cancer in humans. Prolonged skin contact results in
systemic toxicity and ulceration after a latency period of several
hours with the affected skin resembling a second degree thermal burn.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
Immediately 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
soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated
clothing and shoes.
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 to fresh air
immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do NOT use
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If breathing has ceased apply
artificial respiration using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device
such as a bag and a mask.
Notes to Physician:
Antidote:
Always have a cyanide antidote kit on hand when working with cyanide
compounds. Get medical advice to use.
**** 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 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. Flammable Liquid.
Can release vapors that form explosive mixtures at temperatures above
the flashpoint. 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. Vapors may be heavier than air. They can spread along the
ground and collect in low or confined areas. May polymerize
explosively when involved in a fire.
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 straight streams of water. Cool
containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire
is out.
**** 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. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and
ditches which lead to waterways. Clean up spills immediately,
observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Scoop up
with a nonsparking tool, then place into a suitable container for
disposal. Remove all sources of ignition. Provide ventilation. Use
water spray to reduce vapors or divert vapor cloud drift.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Wash hands before eating. Remove
contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Use only in a
well-ventilated area. Ground and bond containers when transferring
material. Use spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment. 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 ingest
or inhale. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind,
or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames.
Storage:
Keep away from heat 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:
Use process enclosure, local exhaust ventilation, or other
engineering controls to control airborne levels below recommended
exposure limits. Facilities storing or utilizing this material should
be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. See 29CFR
1910.1045 for regulations applying to all occupational exposures to
acrylonitrile.
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 protective gloves to prevent skin
exposure.
Clothing:
Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin
exposure.
Respirators:
Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29
CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Always use
a NIOSH or European Standard EN 149 approved
respirator when necessary.
