**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Harmful if swallowed. Toxic in contact with skin. Causes burns.
Toxic to aquatic organisms; may cause long-term adverse effects in
the aquatic environment.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye burns.
Skin:
May be fatal if absorbed through the skin. Causes skin burns.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. Causes gastrointestinal tract burns.
Inhalation:
Causes severe respiratory tract irritation with possible burns.
Chronic:
May cause liver and kidney damage. Chronic exposure may cause blood
effects.
**** 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 immediately.
Skin:
SPEEDY ACTION IS CRITICAL! Destroy contaminated shoes. In case of
contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical
aid immediately. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Get medical aid immediately.
If victim is fully conscious, give a cupful of water. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
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:
Material may destroy the nerve endings in the skin; the absence of
pain does not necessarily mean the skin has been properly
decontaminated.
Antidote:
It is recommended that further amounts of 2,4-DCP may be removed
from the skin by repeatedly spraying/swabbing the skin with
polyethylene or polypropylene glycol mixtures, alternating with
rinsing with large quantities of water for 30 minutes.
**** 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. This material in sufficient quantity and reduced
particle size is capable of creating a dust explosion.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or appropriate foam.
Solid streams of water may spread fire.
**** 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. Provide ventilation.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Do not
breathe dust, vapor, mist, or gas. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or
on clothing. Use only with adequate ventilation.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry place. Store in a tightly closed container. Do
not store in copper or copper alloy storage vessels. Moisture in
2,4-DCP increases the potential for corrosion, therefore, rendering
carbon steel inadequate as a material of construction. Stainless
steel should be avoided due to the potential for stress-corrosion
cracking.
**** 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. EXPOSURE
GUIDELINE for 2,4-DCP: Dow Agrosciences industrial hygiene guideline
is 1 ppm, Skin. (Immediately absorbed through the skin in amounts
that have caused rapid death to humans).
Personal Protective Equipment
Eyes:
Wear chemical goggles and face shield.
Skin:
Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin
exposure. Nitrile or Neoprene gloves are recommended.
Clothing:
Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin
exposure. Recommended personal protective clothing
includes neoprene boots and suit of Saranex,
Neoprene, or Kapler CPF3.
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.
