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

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Irritating to eyes and respiratory system.

Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Produces irritation, characterized by a burning sensation, redness,
tearing, inflammation, and possible corneal injury. May cause
transient corneal injury.
Skin:
Prolonged and/or repeated contact may cause irritation and/or
dermatitis. Dimethyl phthalate has low acute toxicity in
experimental animals exposed by the oral, inhalation and dermal
routes. In other words, it is not acutely toxic. However, repeated
and/or prolonged skin contact may result in the absorption of
harmful amounts. Dimethyl phthalate was not a sensitizer in guinea
pigs and has not been reported to be a sensitizer from its use during
WWII as an insect repellent; however, it has been called an allergen
in one Russian study of human patch testing.
Ingestion:
Causes gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea. May cause central nervous system depression.
Inhalation:
Inhalation of high concentrations may cause central nervous system
effects characterized by nausea, headache, dizziness, unconsciousness
and coma. May cause respiratory tract irritation. Exposure to
dimethyl phthalate occurs from spray or mist, rather than from the
vapor, unless heat is applied. Intermittent exposure produced blood,
liver and kidney changes in rats.
Chronic:
Some adverse reproductive effects were seen in animal studies. Few
defects occurred when rats were given injections of dimethyl
phthalate intraperitoneally on gestational days 5, 10 and 15.

**** 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:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.

**** 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:
In case of fire, use water, dry chemical, chemical foam, or
alcohol-resistant foam.

**** 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.

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

Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid
contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid breathing spray or mist.
Storage:
Keep from contact with oxidizing materials. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.

**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****

Engineering Controls:
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped
with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate general or
local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the
permissible exposure limits.

Wear appropriate protective clothing to minimize
contact with skin.
