**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Very toxic by inhalation. Irritating to eyes and skin. May cause
cancer.Heat sensitive.Cancer suspect agent.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation and burns. May cause permanent corneal
opacification.
Skin:
May be harmful if absorbed through the skin. Causes irritation with
burning pain, scaling, itching and redness. May cause erythema
(redness) and blistering.
Ingestion:
May be harmful if swallowed. May cause irritation of the digestive
tract and possible burns. May cause nausea, vomiting, headache,
cramps, chills and drowsiness.
Inhalation:
Inhalation may be fatal as a result of spasm, inflammation, edema of
the larynx and bronchi, chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary edema.
Toxic if inhaled. May cause burning sensation, coughing, wheezing,
laryngitis, shortness of breath, headache, nausea, and vomiting.
Inhalation may cause sore throat, shortness of breath, labored
breathing, coughing, and pulmonary edema.
Chronic:
Animal studies have reported the development of tumors.
**** 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 immediately.
Skin:
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water.
Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid. 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:
POISON material. If inhaled, get medical aid immediately. Remove
victim to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration.
If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
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. Combustible liquid and vapor. Vapors are heavier
than air and may travel to a source of ignition and flash back.
Vapors can spread along the ground and collect in low or confined
areas.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or chemical foam.
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to waterways.
Neutralize spill with sodium bicarbonate. Cover with sand, dry lime
or soda ash and place in a closed container for disposal. Remove all
sources of ignition. Provide ventilation.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do
not breathe vapor or mist. Pure vapor will be uninhibited and may
polymerize in vents or other confined spaces. Use only with adequate
ventilation or respiratory protection.
Storage:
Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a tightly closed
container. Deep freeze (below -20C). Store protected from light.
Store under argon.
**** 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. Facilities storing or utilizing this material should
be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. See 29CFR
1910.1003 for specific regulatory requirements applying to areas
containing a listed carcinogen, signs, training, reports, and
medical surveillance programs.
Exposure Limits

Personal Protective Equipment
Eyes:
Wear chemical splash goggles.
Skin:
Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin
exposure.
Clothing:
Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin
exposure.
Respirators:
Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29
CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Use a
NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved
respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if
irritation or other symptoms are experienced.
