                  **** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION **** 
 
                               EMERGENCY OVERVIEW 
Harmful by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed. 
Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin.The toxicological 
properties of this material have not been fully investigated. 
 
Potential Health Effects 
     Eye: 
          Causes eye irritation. 
     Skin: 
          Causes skin irritation. Harmful if absorbed through the skin. May be 
          metabolized to cyanide which in turn acts by inhibiting cytochrome 
          oxidase impairing cellular respiration. Most nitrile compounds are 
          well absorbed through intact skin, and may cause delayed onset of 
          symptoms following exposure by this route. 
     Ingestion: 
          Harmful if swallowed. May cause irritation of the digestive tract. 
          The toxicological properties of this substance have not been fully 
          investigated. Metabolism may release cyanide, which may result in 
          headache, dizziness, weakness, collapse, unconsciousness and 
          possible death. 
     Inhalation: 
          Harmful if inhaled. May cause respiratory tract irritation. The 
          toxicological properties of this substance have not been fully 
          investigated. Inhalation may result in symptoms similar to cyanide 
          poisoning which include tachypnea, hyperpnea (abnormally rapid or 
          deep breathing), and dyspnea (labored breathing) followed rapidly by 
          respiratory depression. Pulmonary edema may occur. 
     Chronic: 
          May be metabolized to cyanide which in turn acts by inhibiting 
          cytochrome oxidase impairing cellular respiration. Exposure to small 
          amounts of cyanide compounds over long periods of time is reported 
          to cause loss of appetite, headache, weakness, nausea, dizziness, and 
          symptoms of irritation of the upper respiratory tract and eyes. 
 
                    **** 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, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for 
          at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. 
          Get medical aid immediately. 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. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases 
          may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Combustible 
          liquid and vapor. Approach fire from upwind to avoid hazardous vapors 
          and toxic decomposition products. Combustion by-products include 
          oxides of nitrogen and hydrogen cyanide. 
     Extinguishing Media: 
          Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or appropriate 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. Remove all sources of ignition. 
          Provide ventilation. 
 
                   **** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE **** 
 
     Handling: 
          Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid 
          contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep container tightly closed. 
          Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Keep away from heat and flame. 
     Storage: 
          Keep away from heat and flame. Store in a tightly closed container. 
          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 
          ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.
