Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES IARC:YES OSHA:YES
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE: EYES:CAUSES EYE IRRITATION.
CONTACT MAY CAUSE ULCERATION OF CONJUNCTIVA AND CORNEA. SKIN:
CAUSES SKIN IRRITATION. MAY CAUSE SKIN SENSITIZATION, AN ALLERGIC
REACTION, WHICH BECOMES EVIDENT UPON RE-EXPOSURE TO THS MATERIAL.
INGESTION: CAUSES GASTROINTESTINAL IRRITATION WITH NAUSEA, VOMITING
AND DIARRHEA. MAY CAUSE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION,
CHARACTERIZED BY EXCITEMENT, FOLLOWED BY HEA DACHE, DIZZINESS,
DROWSINESS, AND NAUSEA. ADVANCED STAGES MAY CAUSE COLLAPSE,
UNCONSCIOUSNESS, COMA AND POSSIBLE DEATH DUE TO RESPIRATORY
FAILURE. MAY CAUSE SYSTEMIC TOXICITY INCLUDING CENTRAL NERVOUS
SYSTEM DEPRESSION, (EFTS OF OVEREXP)
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:FORMALDELHYDE: IARC MONOGRAPHS ON THE
EVALUATION OF CARCINOGENIC RISK OF CHEMICALS TO MAN, VOLUME 62,
PAGE 217, 1995: GROUP 2A. NTP 8TH ANNUAL REPORT ON CARCINOGENS,
1998: REASONABLY ANTICIPATED TO BE HUMAN CARCINOGEN. OSHA
REGULATED: 29 CFR 1910.1048.
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZ: CONVULSIONS, COMA, AND POSSIBLE DEATH
DUE TO RESPIRATORY FAILURE. INHALATION: MAY CAUSE ASTHMATIC ATTACKS
DUE TO ALLERGIC SENSITIZATION OF THE RESPIRATORY TRACT. CHRONIC:
FORMALDEHYDE HAS BE EN ASSOCIATED WITH NASAL AND NASOPHARYNGEAL
CANCERS. REPEATED EXPOSURE MAY CAUSE SKIN DISCOLORATION AND
THICKENING AND NAIL DECAY. TARGET ORGANS: CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
Eyes: FLUSH W/PLENTY OF H*2O FOR AT LST 15 MINS, OCCAS
LIFTING UPPER & LOWER LIDS. GET MED AID IMMED. DO NOT ALLOW VICTIM
TO RUB/KEEP EYES CLOSED. SKIN: IMMED FLUSH W/PLENTY OF SOAP & H*2O
FOR AT LST 15 MINS WHILE REMOVING CONTAMD CLTHG & SHOES. GET MED
AID IF IRRIT DEVELOPS/PERSISTS. WASH CLTHG BEFORE REUSE. DESTROY
CONTAMD SHOES. INGEST: DO NOT INDUCE VOMIT. IF VICTIM IS CONSCIOUS
& ALERT, GIVE 2-4 CUPFULS OF MILK/H*2O. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY
MOUTH TO UNCON PERS. GET MED AID IMMED. INGEST: GET MED AID IMMED.
REMOVE FROM EXPOS TO FRESH AIR IMMED. IF BRTHG IS DFCLT, GIVE OXYG.
DO NOT USE MOUTH -TO-MOUTH RESP IF BRTHG HAS (SUPDAT)
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Flash Point:=85.C, 185.F
Lower Limits:7.0%
Extinguishing Media:FOR SM FIRES, USE DRY CHEM, CARBON DIOXIDE, WATER
SPRAY/ALCOHOL-RESISTANT FOAM. FOR LGE FIRES, USE DRY CHEM, CARBON
DIOXIDE, ALCOHOL-RESISTANT FOAM/WATER SPRAY.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE NIOSH APPROVED SCBA & FULL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT . USE WATER SPRAY TO KEEP FIRE-EXPOSED CONTAINERS COOL.
COMBUSTIBLE LIQUID. CONTAINERS MAY EXPLODE WHEN HEATED. COOL
CONTAINERS W/FLOODING QUA NTITIES OF WATER UNTIL WELL AFTER FIRE IS
OUT.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:NFPA RATING: NOT PUBLISHED.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:GENERAL INFO: USE PROPER PERSONAL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT AS INDICATED IN SECTION 8. SPILLS/LEAKS: REMOVE ALL
SOURCES OF IGNITION. ABSORB SPILL USING AN ABSORBENT,
NON-COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL SUCH AS EARTH, SAND, OR VERMICULITE.
PROVIDE VENTILATION. A VAPOR SUPPRESSING FOAM MAY BE USED TO REDUCE
VAPORS. WATER SPRAY MAY REDUCE VAPOR BUT MAY NOT PREVENT IGNITION
IN CLOSED SPACES.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:USE ONLY IN WELL VENT AREA. AVOID
CNTCT W/EYES, SKIN, & CLTHG. EMPTY CNTNRS RETAIN PROD RESIDUE, (LIQ
&/VAP), & CAN BE DANGEROUS. KEEP CNTNR TIGHTLY CLSD. AVOID CNTCT
W/HEAT, SPARKS & FLAME. DO NOT IN GEST/INHALE.
Other Precautions:DO NOT PRESSURIZE, CUT, WELD, BRAZE, SOLDER, DRILL,
GRIND/EXPOSE EMPTY CONTAINERS TO HEAT, SPARKS/OPEN FLAMES. STORAGE:
KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT, SPARKS, & FLAME. KEEP AWAY FROM SOURCES OF
IGNITION. STORE IN A TIGHTLY CLOSED CONTAINER. STORE IN A COOL,
DRY, WELL-VENTILATED AREA AWAY FROM INCOMPATIBLE SUB STANCES.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:FOLLOW THE OSHA RESPIRATOR REGULATIONS FOUND IN
29 CFR 1910.134 OR EUROPEAN STANDARD EN 149. ALWAYS USE A NIOSH OR
EUROPEAN STANDARD EN 149 APPROVED RESPIRATOR WHEN NECESSARY.
Ventilation:USE ADEQUATE GENERAL OR LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION TO KEEP
AIRBORNE CONCENTRATIONS BELOW THE PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS.
Protective Gloves:IMPERVIOUS GLOVES .
Eye Protection:ANSI APPROVED CHEMICAL WORKERS GOGGLES .
Other Protective Equipment:EYE WASH AND DELUGE SHOWER MEETING ANSI
DESIGN CRITERIA .
Work Hygienic Practices:WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING. --TRANSPORT
