**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Toxic by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed. Causes
burns. Harmful : danger of serious damage to health by prolonged
exposure through inhalation, in contact with skin and if
swallowed.Possible risk of irreversible effects.Air
sensitive.Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the air).Light
sensitive.Mutagen.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Contact with liquid or vapor causes severe burns and possible
irreversible eye damage.
Skin:
May be fatal if absorbed through the skin.
Ingestion:
May cause liver and kidney damage. May cause central nervous system
depression, characterized by excitement, followed by headache,
dizziness, drowsiness, and nausea. Advanced stages may cause
collapse, unconsciousness, coma and possible death due to respiratory
failure. May cause perforation of the digestive tract. Causes
digestive tract burns with immediate pain, swelling of the throat,
convulsions, and possible coma. Methemoglobinemia is characterized
by dizziness, drowsiness, headache, shortness of breath, cyanosis
(bluish discoloration of skin due to deficient oxygenation of the
blood), rapid heart rate and chocolate-brown colored blood.
Overexposure may cause methemoglobinemia. Human fatalities have been
reported from acute poisoning. May cause cardiac abnormalities.
Inhalation:
Causes severe irritation of upper respiratory tract with coughing,
burns, breathing difficulty, and possible coma. May be fatal if
exposed to high concentrations. Aspiration may lead to pulmonary
edema. May also cause pallor, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting,
diarrhea, weakness, darkened urine, headache, sweating, convulsions,
cyanosis (bluish skin due to deficient oxygenation of the blood),
unconsciousness, fatigue, pulmonary edema & coma. Inhalation at high
concentrations may cause CNS depression and asphixiation.
Chronic:
Chronic inhalation and ingestion may cause effects similar to those
of acute inhalation and ingestion. May cause reproductive and fetal
effects. Effects may be delayed. Laboratory experiments have
resulted in mutagenic effects. Repeated skin contact may cause
dermatitis with dark pigmentation of the skin. Animal studies have
reported the development of tumors.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
Get medical aid immediately. Do NOT allow victim to rub eyes or keep
eyes closed. Extensive irrigation with water is required (at least 30
minutes).
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes. Discard contaminated clothing in a manner which limits
further exposure. SPEEDY ACTION IS CRITICAL! Destroy contaminated
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. SPEED IS ESSENTIAL. A DOCTOR MUST BE NOTIFIED AT
ONCE.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move 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. SPEED IS
ESSENTIAL, OBTAIN MEDICAL AID IMMEDIATELY.
Notes to Physician:
Persons with liver or kidney disease should not be exposed to phenol
for any length of time.
Antidote:
Activated charcoal, followed by cathartic, may be preferred to
ipecac induced emesis or lavage in decontamination of the GI tract
and preventing systemic absorption of phenol.
**** 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. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases
may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Vapors may
be heavier than air. They can spread along the ground and collect
in low or confined areas. Containers may explode when heated. Runoff
from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution. Combustible
liquid and vapor.
Extinguishing Media:
In case of fire, use water, dry chemical, chemical foam, or
alcohol-resistant foam. Use water spray to cool fire-exposed
containers.
**** 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. Remove all
sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool. Provide ventilation.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. 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 ingest or inhale. Store protected from
light. Use only in a chemical fume hood. Discard contaminated shoes.
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 cool, dry place. Keep container closed when not
in use. Store in a tightly closed container. Keep from contact with
oxidizing materials. Store protected from moisture. Store protected
from light.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment. 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.
