 **** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
 
 EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
 Harmful in contact with skin and if swallowed. Irritating to eyes,
 respiratory system and skin.
 
 Potential Health Effects
 Eye:
 Causes eye irritation.  May cause chemical conjunctivitis.
 Skin:
 Causes skin irritation. Harmful if absorbed through the skin.
 Ingestion:
 Harmful if swallowed. May cause gastrointestinal irritation with
 nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May cause cardiac disturbances. May
 cause central nervous system depression.
 Inhalation:
 Causes respiratory tract irritation. May be harmful if inhaled. May
 cause cardiac abnormalities. Can produce delayed pulmonary edema.
 Inhalation at high concentrations may cause CNS depression and
 asphixiation.
 Chronic:
 Effects may be delayed.
 
 **** 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.
 Skin:
 Get medical aid. Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at
 least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
 Wash clothing before reuse.
 Ingestion:
 Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical
 aid immediately. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert,
 rinse mouth and drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Wash mouth out
 with water.
 Inhalation:
 Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not
 breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
 give oxygen. Get medical aid. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth
 resuscitation.
 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. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases
 may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. 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. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause
 pollution.
 Extinguishing Media:
 Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Use water spray,
 dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or chemical 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. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and
 ditches which lead to waterways. Clean up spills immediately,
 observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Provide
 ventilation.
 
 **** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
 
 Handling:
 Avoid breathing dust, vapor, mist, or gas. Avoid contact with eyes,
 skin, and clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion
 and inhalation. Use with adequate ventilation. Wash clothing before
 reuse.
 Storage:
 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
 ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.
 Exposure Limits
 CAS# 112-26-5:
 
 
 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. Use a
 NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved
 respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if
 irritation or other symptoms are experienced.
