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

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Very toxic by inhalation and in contact with skin.Air
sensitive.Lachrymator (substance which increases the flow of tears).

Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation. Lachrymator (substance which increases
the flow of tears).
Skin:
May cause skin irritation.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. May cause liver damage. May cause digestive
tract disturbances. Effects may be delayed.
Inhalation:
Effects may be delayed. May cause respiratory tract irritation.
Inhalation may produce coughing, nausea, and pulmonary edema.
Chronic:
Chronic ingestion may cause liver damage. Repeated exposure may
cause central nervous system damage.

**** 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.
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:
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Do NOT induce
vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse mouth and drink 2-4 cupfuls
of milk or water.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation.
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. Combustion generates toxic fumes. During a fire,
irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal
decomposition or combustion. Substance is noncombustible. Containers
may explode in the heat of a fire. Vapors may be heavier than air.
They can spread along the ground and collect in low or confined
areas.
Extinguishing Media:
Substance is noncombustible; use agent most appropriate to
extinguish surrounding fire. Do NOT get water inside containers. Do
NOT use straight streams of water. For small fires, use dry chemical,
carbon dioxide, or water spray. For large fires, use water spray, fog
or regular foam. 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. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and
ditches which lead to waterways. Provide ventilation. Do not get
water inside containers.

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

Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Wash hands before eating. Avoid
breathing dust, vapor, mist, or gas. Keep container tightly closed.
Handle under an inert atmosphere. Store protected from air. Avoid
mechanical shock and friction.
Storage:
Do not store in direct sunlight. Keep containers tightly closed. Do
not expose to air. Store under an inert atmosphere.

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

Engineering Controls:
Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne
concentrations below the permissible exposure limits.

safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face
protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European
Standard EN166.
Skin:
Wear appropriate gloves to prevent skin exposure.
Wear impervious gloves. Wear an impervious apron.
Clothing:
Wear appropriate protective clothing to minimize
contact with skin. Wear an impervious apron.
Respirators:
Wear a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149
approved full-facepiece airline respirator in the
positive pressure mode with emergency escape
provisions.
