Health Hazards Data
=======================================================
LD50 LC50 Mixture: NO DATA PROVIDED BY MANUFACTURER
Route Of Entry Inds - Inhalation: YES
Skin: YES
Ingestion: YES
Carcinogenicity Inds - NTP: NO
IARC: NO
OSHA: NO
Effects of Exposure: TARGET ORGANS: SKIN, EYES, RESPIRATORY SYSTEM, CENTRAL
NERVOUS SYSTEM, KIDNEYS, LIVER. ACUTE: INHALATION OF HIGH LEVELS OF MERCURY
VAPOR CAN LEAD TO SEVERE RESPIRATORY IRRITATION. THESE SYMPTOMS MAY A LSO BE
ACCOMPANIED BY SOME OR ALL SYMPTOMS OF CHRONIC POISONING. CHRONIC EFFECTS OF
OVEREXPOSURE CAN RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE TARGET ORGANS.
Explanation Of Carcinogenicity: MERCURY IS NOT LISTED AS A CARCINOGEN BY THE
NTP, IARC, OR OSHA. MERCURY IS A COMULATIVE POISON THAT CONCENTRATES IN THE
BRAIN, KIDNEYS AND LIVER. IT IS VERY HAZARDOUS WHEN SPILLED OR HEATED.
Signs And Symptions Of Overexposure: NHALATION OF HIGH LEVELS OF MERCURY VAPOR
CAN LEAD TO SEVERE RESPIRATORY IRRITATION, CHEST PAINS, COUGHING, AND
BREATHING DIFFICULTIES WHICH MAY BE FATAL IF RESPIRATORY IRRITATION IS
SEVERE. DAMAGE TO THE TARGET ORGANS CAN OCCUR. CHRONIC: EXPOSURE TO LOW
LEVELS OF MERCURY MAY RESULT IN GUM AND MOUTH INFLAMMATION (ACCOMPANIED BY
EXCESS SALIVATION AND METALLIC TASTE, GINIVITUS, IRRITABILITY, TREMOR S,
DEPRESSION, PERSONALITY CHANGES AND NERVOUSNESS, STOMATITIS.
Medical Cond Aggravated By Exposure: PERSONS WITH CHRONIC DISEASES SUCH AS
TUBERCULOSIS, KIDNEY DISEASE, LIVER DISEASE AND ALCOHOLISM OR IN POOR
PHYSICAL CONDITION SHOULD BE EXCLUDED FROM CONTINUOUS ASSIGNMENT WHERE
MERCURY IS PRESENT.
First Aid: INHALATION: REMOVE PERSON FROM SOURCE OF EXPOSURE TO FRESH AIR. IF
NOT BREATHING GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE
OXYGEN. EYE: HOLD UPPER AND LOWER EYELIDS OPEN, WASH EYE THOROUGHLY WITH
PLENTY OF WATER FOR 15 MINUTES. CONSULT A PHYSICIAN. SKIN: WASH EXPOSED AREA
THOROUGHLY WITH SOAP AND WATER. INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING! CONSULT A
PHYSICIAN.
=======================================================
Handling and Disposal
=======================================================
Spill Release Procedures: USE APPROPRIATE RESPIRATORY PROTECTION IF PEL IS
EXCEEDED AND PROPER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING. CLEAN UP SPILLS IMMEDIATELY WITH
VACCUM EQUIPMENT THAT HAS A FILTERED EXHAUST AND MERCURY TRAP DESIGNED FOR ME
RCURY CLEANUP OR A COMMERCIAL MERCURY SPILL CLEAN UP KIT. DO NOT DRY SWEEP.
DECONTAMINATE WITH A MERCURY DECONTAIMINENT. KEEP COLLECTED MERCURY IN SEALED
CONTAINER FOR DISPOSAL.
Neutralizing Agent: NO DATA PROVIDED BY MANUFACTURER
Waste Disposal Methods: REMOVE MERCURY AND MATERIALS THAT HAVE COME IN CONTACT
WITH MERCURY TO PROPER DISPOSAL AREA. MERCURY IS RECYCLEABLE. DO NOT BUT IN
GARBAGE, FLUSH IN SEWER, OR INCINERATE. DISPOSE IN ACCORDANCE WITH AL L
FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS. DO NOT DISPOSE IN
LANDFILL
Handling And Storage Precautions: HANDLE AND STORE THERMOMETER WITH PROPER
CARE.
Other Precautions: NONE
=======================================================
Fire and Explosion Hazard Information
=======================================================
Extinguishing Media: APPROPRIATE FOR SURROUNDING FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures: AT HIGH TEMPERATURES MERCURY VAPORIZES RAPIDLY TO
FORM HIGHLY TOXIC, ODORLESS, COLORLESS FUMES. USE AIR LINE OR SELF CONTAINED
BREATHING APPARATUS WITH FULL FACEPIECES OPERATED IN POSITIVE PRESSURE MO DE
ONLY.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard: MERCURY IS NOT COMBUSTIBLE, FLAMMABLE, OR
EXPLOSIVE, BUT WILL EVAPORATE WHEN HEATED CREATING TOXIC FUMES WHICH ARE BOTH
ODORLESS AND COLORLESS. WILL COMBINE WITH OTHER COMPOUNDS (I.E. AMMONIA) TO
CREA TE UNSTABLE COMPOUNDS.
=======================================================
Control Measures
=======================================================
Respiratory Protection: IF MERCURY SPILLAGE AND PEL IS EXCEEDED USE NIOSH
CERTIFIED RESPIRATOR.
Ventilation: LOCAL EXHAUST: AT HIGH POINT. MECHANICAL (GENERAL): YES
Protective Gloves: GLOVES SHOULD BE IMPERVIOUS TO MERCURY
Eye Protection: GOGGLES MUST PROTECT AGAINST SPLASHING
Other Protective Equipment: TIGHTLY WOVEN (I.E. TYVEK) WORK CLOTHING FITTING
CLOSELY ABOUT NECK, WRISTS, AND ANKLES SHOULD BE WORN. CLOTHING SHOULD BE
REMOVED AND WASHED FREQUENTLY. NO FOOD, FOOD STUFFS, OR TOBACCO PRODUCTS
SHOULD
Work Hygienic Practices: STANDARD INDUSTRIAL PRACTICE WOR WORKING WITH MERCURY
SHOULD BE OBSERVED.
Supplemental Safety and Health: NO DATA PROVIDED BY MANUFACTURER.
