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

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Irritating to eyes.

Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation.
Skin:
May cause skin irritation.
Ingestion:
Ingestion of large amounts may cause gastrointestinal irritation.
Inhalation:
May cause respiratory tract irritation. Clinical examination of
workers engaged in adipic acid manufacture found that inhaling
adipic acid dust produced functional disorders of the autonomic
nervous system and gastrointestinal tract and in the mucosa of the
upper respiratory tract.
Chronic:
No information found.

**** 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.
Skin:
In case of contact, flush skin with plenty of water. Remove
contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if irritation
develops and persists. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
If swallowed, do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by
medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person. Get medical aid.
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:

**** 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:
For small fires, 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:
Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal
container. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the
Protective Equipment section. Avoid generating dusty conditions.
Provide ventilation.

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

Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Minimize dust
generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and
clothing. Avoid breathing dust.
Storage:
Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a tightly closed
container. Keep from contact with oxidizing materials. Store in a
cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
Keep away from strong bases.

**** 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 Limits
CAS# 124-04-9:

Belgium - TWA: 5 mg/m3 VLE
Malaysia: 5 mg/m3 TWA
Netherlands: 5 mg/m3 MAC

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 protective clothing to minimize
contact with skin.
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# 124-04-9: AU8400000
LD50/LC50:
CAS# 124-04-9: Draize test, rabbit, eye: 20 mg/24H Moderate; Oral,
mouse: LD50 = 1900 mg/kg; Oral, rabbit: LD50 = >11 gm/kg; Oral, rat:
LD50 = >11 gm/kg.
Carcinogenicity:
Adipic acid -
Not listed by ACGIH, IARC, or NTP.
Other:
See actual entry in RTECS for complete information.

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

Ecotoxicity:
Fish: Bluegill/Sunfish: LC50 = 97-330 mg/L; 24-96 Hr.; Static
conditions, 18-22 degrees CThe Koc of adipic acid is estimated as
approximately 26, using a measured log Kow of 0.08 and a
regression-derived equation. According to a recommended
classification scheme, this estimated Koc value suggests that adipic
acid is expected to have very high mobility in soil.
