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

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
May cause cancer.The toxicological properties of this material have
not been fully investigated.

Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation. Prolonged and/or repeated contact may cause
irritation and/or dermatitis. Dermal applications may cause
hyperemia (an excess of blood in a part), weight loss, and
hematopoietic changes.
Ingestion:
May cause digestive tract disturbances. The toxicological properties
of this substance have not been fully investigated. May be harmful if
swallowed.
Inhalation:
May be fatal if inhaled. Causes respiratory tract irritation.
Inhalation of dust may cause respiratory tract irritation.
Chronic:
May cause cancer according to animal studies. Chronic effects may
include leukocytosis and lengthened chronaxy of the leg muscle
flexors.

**** 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
immediately.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing
before reuse.
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 immediately.
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.
