**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Possible risks of irreversible effects. Toxic to aquatic organisms;
may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Contact with eyes may cause severe irritation, and possible eye
burns.
Skin:
May cause severe irritation and possible burns.
Ingestion:
May cause central nervous system depression, kidney damage, and
liver damage. Symptoms may include: headache, excitement, fatigue,
nausea, vomiting, stupor, and coma. May cause gastrointestinal
irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Inhalation:
Inhalation of vapor may cause respiratory tract irritation. May
cause central nervous system effects including vertigo, anxiety,
depression, muscle incoordination, and emotional instability.
Chronic:
Possible cancer hazard based on tests with laboratory animals.
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause defatting and
dermatitis. May cause respiratory tract cancer. May cause adverse
nervous system effects including muscle tremors and incoordination.
May cause liver and kidney damage. May cause reproductive and fetal
effects.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
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 if irritation develops or persists. Wash clothing
before reuse. Flush skin with plenty of soap and water.
Ingestion:
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.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. 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. 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.
Extinguishing Media:
Substance is noncombustible; use agent most appropriate to
extinguish surrounding fire. For small fires, use dry chemical,
carbon dioxide, or water spray. For large fires, use dry chemical,
carbon dioxide, alcohol-resistant foam, or water spray. 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. Flush down
the spill with a large amount of water. 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. Use with adequate ventilation. Do not reuse this
container. Avoid breathing vapors from heated material. Avoid contact
with skin and eyes. Keep container tightly closed. Keep away from
flames and other sources of high temperatures that may cause material
to form vapors or mists.
Storage:
Keep away from heat and flame. Store in a cool, dry place. Keep
containers tightly closed.
**** 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.
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:
A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA's 29
CFR ??1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements or European
Standard EN 149 must be followed whenever workplace
conditions warrant a respirator's use.
