**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Toxic by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed. Causes
burns. Harmful : danger of serious damage to health by prolonged
exposure through inhalation, in contact with skin and if
swallowed.Possible risk of irreversible effects.Corrosive.Mutagen.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye burns. May cause chemical conjunctivitis and corneal
damage.
Skin:
Harmful if absorbed through the skin.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. May cause severe and permanent damage to the
digestive tract. Causes gastrointestinal tract burns. May cause
central nervous system depression, characterized by excitement,
followed by headache, dizziness, drowsiness, and nausea. Advanced
stages may cause collapse, unconsciousness, coma and possible death
due to respiratory failure. May cause perforation of the digestive
tract. Overexposure may cause methemoglobinemia. May cause systemic
effects.
Inhalation:
May be fatal if exposed to high concentrations. May cause severe
respiratory tract irritation and possible burns. Aspiration may lead
to pulmonary edema. May also cause pallor, loss of appetite, nausea,
vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, darkened urine, headache, sweating,
convulsions, cyanosis (bluish skin due to deficient oxygenation of
the blood), unconsciousness, fatigue, pulmonary edema & coma. May
cause systemic effects. Inhalation at high concentrations may cause
CNS depression and asphixiation.
Chronic:
May cause liver and kidney damage. May cause fetal effects. Effects
may be delayed. Repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis with dark
pigmentation of the skin. Chronic exposure has been associated with
an increased incidence of kidney, liver, rectal, bladder, colon,
brain, and lymph node cancer.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
Get medical aid immediately. Do NOT allow victim to rub eyes or keep
eyes closed. Extensive irrigation with water is required (at least 30
minutes).
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes. SPEEDY ACTION IS CRITICAL! Destroy contaminated shoes.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. 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:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do NOT use
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If breathing has ceased apply
artificial respiration using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device
such as a bag and a mask.
Notes to Physician:
Persons with liver or kidney disease should not be exposed to phenol
for any length of time.
Antidote:
Activated charcoal, followed by cathartic, may be preferred to
ipecac induced emesis or lavage in decontamination of the GI tract
and preventing systemic absorption of phenol.
**** 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. Use water
spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Combustible liquid.
Containers may explode when heated.
Extinguishing Media:
For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or
alcohol-resistant foam. Use water spray to cool fire-exposed
containers. Do NOT get water inside containers. For large fires, use
dry chemical, carbon dioxide, alcohol-resistant foam, or water
spray. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well
after fire is out.
**** 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. Remove all
sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool. Provide ventilation.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use only in a well-ventilated area. Do not get in
eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Empty containers retain product
residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Keep container
tightly closed. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Do not ingest
or inhale. Discard contaminated shoes. Do not pressurize, cut, weld,
braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty containers to heat,
sparks or open flames.
Storage:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Keep away from sources of
ignition. Keep container closed when not in use. Store in a tightly
closed container. Keep from contact with oxidizing materials. Store
in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible
substances. Keep refrigerated. (Store below 4C/39F.)
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment. 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.
