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

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Limited evidence of a carcinogenic effect.

Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation.
Skin:
Exposure may cause irritation and possible burns. May be absorbed
through the skin.
Ingestion:
Aspiration hazard. 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. 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 and move 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.
Extinguishing Media:
Substance is noncombustible; use agent most appropriate to
extinguish surrounding fire.

**** 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. Clean up spills immediately,
observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Flush down
the spill with a large amount of water. 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 prolonged or repeated contact with skin. Avoid
breathing vapors from heated material. Avoid contact with skin and
eyes. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation.
Keep away from flames and other sources of high temperatures that may
cause material to form vapors.
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.
