**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Toxic if swallowed. Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and
skin.Light sensitive.Air sensitive.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. Ingestion may cause irritation of the
digestive tract with abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, numbness of
the oral mucous membrane, slow or irregular pulse, incoordination,
and muscle tremors.
Inhalation:
Causes respiratory tract irritation. Inhalation of large amounts may
cause respiratory stimulation, followed by respiratory depression,
convulsions and possible death due to respiratory paralysis. This
product is more toxic when inhaled than when ingested.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis. Prolonged
or repeated eye contact may cause conjunctivitis. May cause liver and
kidney damage. May cause reproductive and fetal effects. Laboratory
experiments have resulted in mutagenic effects. Exposure to large
doses may cause central nervous system depression.
**** 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. Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Wash clothing before reuse.
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. Wash mouth out with
water.
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:
**** 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.
Extinguishing Media:
Use extinguishing media most appropriate for the surrounding fire.
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:
Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal
container. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Provide ventilation.
Place under an inert atmosphere.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Do not
breathe dust, vapor, mist, or gas. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or
on clothing. Do not ingest or inhale. Store protected from light.
Handle under an inert atmosphere. Store protected from air. Use only
in a chemical fume hood.
Storage:
Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Do not expose
to air. Store protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere.
**** 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 only under a
chemical fume hood.
