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

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Harmful by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed.
Harmful to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in
the aquatic environment.Possible risk of irreversible effects.Light
sensitive.Air sensitive.Possible risks of irreversible effects.

Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes moderate eye irritation.
Skin:
Causes severe skin irritation. May cause skin sensitization, an
allergic reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this
material. May be harmful if absorbed through the skin. Contact with
skin may cause discoloration and eczema.
Ingestion:
Causes gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea. May be harmful if swallowed. Rapidly absorbed from the
gastrointestinal tract. Ingestion may cause weakness, muscular
incoordination, fine tremors, loss of reflexes, convulsions and
possible death from circulatory collapse.
Inhalation:
May cause methemoglobinemia, cyanosis (bluish discoloration of skin
due to deficient oxygenation of the blood), convulsions,
tachycardia, dyspnea (labored breathing), and death. Causes severe
irritation of upper respiratory tract with coughing, burns,
breathing difficulty, and possible coma. May be harmful if inhaled.
May be absorbed through the lungs.
Chronic:
May cause liver and kidney damage. Absorption into the body leads to
the formation of methemoglobin which in sufficient concentrations
causes cyanosis (bluish discoloration of skin due to deficient
oxygenation of the blood). Repeated exposure may cause sensitization
dermatitis. May cause reproductive and fetal effects. Laboratory
experiments have resulted in mutagenic effects. Pyrogallol has a
tremendous affinity for oxygen of the blood and may cause death by
respiratory failure.

**** 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. Immediately flush skin with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
Call a poison control center. 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:
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 pre-existing skin disorders or eye problems, or
impaired liver, kidney, or respiratory function may be more
susceptible to the effects of this substance. Absorption of this
product into the body may cause cyanosis (bluish discoloration of
skin due to deficient oxygenation of the blood). Moderate degrees of
cyanosis need to be treated only by supportive measures: bed rest and
oxygen inhalation. For methemoglobinemia, administer oxygen alone or
with Methylene Blue depending on the methemoglobin concentration in
the blood.

**** 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 appropriate 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. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the
Protective Equipment section. 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. Use only in a well-ventilated area. 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.
Storage:
Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Do not expose
to air. Absorbs oxygen from the air and will darken upon exposure.
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 adequate
ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.
Personal Protective Equipment

Eyes:
Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical
safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face
protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European
Standard EN166.
Skin:
Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin
exposure.
Clothing:
Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin
exposure.
Respirators:
A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA's 29
CFR 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements or European
Standard EN 149 must be followed whenever workplace
conditions warrant a respirator's use.

**** SECTION 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION ****

RTECS#:
CAS# 87-66-1: UX2800000
LD50/LC50:
CAS# 87-66-1: Draize test, rabbit, eye: 20 mg/24H Moderate; Draize
test, rabbit, skin: 2 mg/24H Severe; Oral, mouse: LD50 = 300 mg/kg;
Oral, mouse: LD50 = 570 mg/kg; Oral, rabbit: LD50 = 1600 mg/kg; Oral,
rabbit: LD50 = 1600 mg/kg; Oral, rat: LD50 = 790 mg/kg.
Carcinogenicity:
Pyrogallol -
Not listed by ACGIH, IARC, or NTP.
Other:
See actual entry in RTECS for complete information.

**** SECTION 12 - ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION ****

Ecotoxicity:
Fish: Goldfish: LC50 = 18 mg/L; 48 Hr; UnspecifiedWater flea Daphnia:
EC50 = 54 mg/L; 24 Hr; UnspecifiedEstimated Koc value = 3.2. This
value indicates that pyrogallol will show very high soil mobility and
will not adsorb to sediment or particulate matter in water.
Volatilzation from moist or dry soils and water sources is not
expected. Estimated BCF value = 0.37. This value suggests that
bioconcentration of pyrogallol in aquatic organisms should be low.
Other
Harmful to aquatic life in very low concentrations.
