Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE: INGEST/SKIN: NOT TOXIC. EYE:
MECHANICAL IRRITATION. INHAL: WHEN THERMALLY DECOMPOSED BY HEATING
ABOVE 280C, OR BY SMOKING TOBACCO OR CIGARETTES CONTAMINATED WITH
POLYMER DUST, MAY CAUSE POLYMER FUME FEVER. SYMPTOMS ARE FLU-LIKE,
WITH CHILLS AND FEVER, WHICH MAY NOT OCCUR UNTIL SEVERAL HOURS (SEE
EFTS OF OVEREXP)
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT RELEVANT
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZ: AFTER EXPOSURE AND PASS OFF WITHIN
36-48 HOURS, EVEN IN ABSENCE OF TREATMENT. MFR RECOMMENDS TREATING
POLYMER DUST AS A NUISANCE PARTICULATE, AND HAS ESTABLISHED AN AEL
OF 10 MG/M3 TOTAL DUS T, THE SAME AS THE TLV FOR OTHER NUISANCE
PARTICULATES. CHRONIC: NONE KNOWN.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NONE KNOWN.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:IF EXPOSED TO FUMES FROM OVERHEATING OR COMBUSTION, MOVE TO
FRESH AIR. CONSULT MD IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST. FLUSH EYES WITH PLENTY
OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. CONSULT MD IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST.
IF MOLTE N POLYMER CONTACTS SKIN, COOL RAPIDLY WITH COLD WATER. DO
NOT ATTEMPT TO PEEL POLYMER FROM SKIN. OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION FOR
THERMAL BURN. INGEST: CALL MD IMMEDIATELY .
