=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

LD50 LC50 Mixture:LD50 (ORAL, RAT):891 MG/KG
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO	OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALATION: INHALATION OF DUST MAY
    CAUSE IRRITATION DUE TO ITS ACIDIC CHARACTER. COUGHING SNEEZING,
    AND SHORTNESS OF BREATH MAY OCCUR. INGESTION: INGESTION OF SIZEABLE
    AMOUNTS CAN CAUSE "SALICYLISM",  AS EVIDENCED BY ABDOMINAL PAIN,
    VOMITING, INCREASED RESPIRATION, AND MENTAL DISTURBANCES.
    FATALITIES RESULTING FROM RESPIRATORY OR CARDIOVASCULAR FAILURE ARE
    KNOWN. SKIN CONTACT: MAY IRRITATE, MAY CAU SE SKIN RASH IN
    SENSITIVE INDIVIDUALS. ABSORPTION OF LARGE AMOUNTS MAY PRODUCE
    SYMPTOMS PARALLELING INGESTION EXPOSURE. EYE CONTACT: SEVERE
    IRRITANT BY ANIMAL TESTING. (EFTS OF OVEREXP).
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZ: CHRONIC: CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
    DISTURBANCES SUCH AS RAPID BREATHING, CONFUSION AND EVEN
    CONVULSIONS MAY DEVELOP. KIDNEYS AND PANCREAS CAN BE AFFECTED BY
    PROLONGED INGESTION.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PERSONS WITH PRE-EXISTING SKIN
    DISORDERS OR EYE PROBLEMS OR IMPAIRED KIDNEY FUNCTION MAY BE MORE
    SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE EFFECTS OF THE SUBSTANCE.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION FOR
    ANY BREATHING DIFIFICULTY. INGESTION: INDUCE VOMITING IMMEDIATELY
    BY GIVING TWO GLASSES OF WATER, OR MILK IF AVAILABLE AND STICKING
    FINGER DO WN THROAT. CALL A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY. NEVER GIVE
    ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON. SKIN EXPOSURE: REMOVE
    ANY CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. WASH SKIN WITH SOAP OR MILD DETERGENT
    AND WATER FOR AT  LEAST 15 MINUTES. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IF
    IRRITATION DEVELOPS OR PERSISTS. EYE: WASH WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR
    AT LEAST 15 MINUTES, LIFTING LOWER AND UPPER EYELIDS OCCASIONALLY.
    GET MEDICAL ATTENTION  IMMEDIATELY.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Extinguishing Media:WATER SPRAY, DRY CHEMICAL, ALCOHOL FOAM, OR CARBON

    EQUIPMENT . AS WITH MOST ORGANIC SOLIDS, FIRE IS POSSIBLE AT
    ELEVATED TEMPERATURES OR BY CONTACT WITH AN IGNITION SOURCE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:NOT CONSIDERED TO BE AN EXPLOSION HAZARD.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:VENTILATE AREA OF LEAK/SPILL. CLEAN-UP
    PERSONNEL MAY REQUIRE RESPIRATORY PROTECTION FROM DUST. SWEEP UP
    AND CONTAINERIZE FOR RECLAMATION OR DISPOSAL. VACUUMING OR WET
    SWEEPING MAY BE USED TO AVOID DUS T DISPERSAL.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:KEEP IN A TIGHTLY CLOSED CONTAINER.
    STORE IN A COOL, DRY, VENTILATED AREA AWAY FROM SOURCES OF HEAT OR
    IGNITION. PROTECT AGAINST PHYSICAL DAMAGE. ISOLATE FROM OXIDIZING
    MATERIALS. STORE IN THE DARK.
Other Precautions:CONTACT LENSES SHOULD NOT BE WORN WHEN WORKING WITH
    THIS MATERIAL.

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:(NIOSH APPROVED) FOR CONDITIONS OF USE WHERE
    EXPOSURE TO THE DUST IS APPARENT, A DUST/MIST RESPIRATOR MAY BE
    WORN. FOR EMERGENCIES, A SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS MAY BE
    NECESSARY.
Ventilation:A LOCAL EXHAUST SYSTEM WHICH CAPTURES THE CONTAMINANT AT
    ITS SOURCE IS RECOMMENDED TO PREVENT DISPERSION OF THE CONTAMINANT
    INTO THE WORKROOM AIR.
Protective Gloves:IMPERVIOUS GLOVES .
Eye Protection:ANSI APPROVED CHEMICAL WORKERS GOGGLES .
Other Protective Equipment:EYEWASH AND DELUGE SHOWER MEETING ANSI
    DESIGN CRITERIA . WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES AND CLEAN BODY-COVERING
    CLOTHING.
