===================== Hazards Identification =====================
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:NO Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE: HALOTHANE IS AN INHALATION
ANESTHETIC. IT MAY CAUSE TACHYPNEA, BRONCHODILATION, HYPOXIA,
ACIDOSIS, APNEA, REDUCED BLOOD PRESSURE, DILATION OF THE VESSELS OF
THE SKIN AND SKELETAL MUSCLES, CARDI AC ARRHYTHMIAS, INCREASE IN
CEREBRAL SPINAL FLUID PRESSURES, MUSCLE RELAXATION. ALSO, CARDIAC
ARREST, RESPIRATORY ARREST, AND HYPERPYREXIA HAVE BEEN NOTED.
EXPOSURE TO CO*2 AT 1-4% CONCENTRATIONS RESU LTS IN INCREASED
RESPIRATORY VOLUME; >4% PRODUCES LABORED BREATHING AND IS DANGEROUS
FOR EVEN A FEW MINUTES. MIXTURE ACTS AS A SIMPLE ASPHYXIANT BY
DISPLACING AIR NECESSARY FOR LIFE. (EFFECTS OF OVERE XPOSURE)
Effects of Overexposure:HEALTH HAZARDS: SYMPTOMS INCLUDE RAPID
RESPIRATION, MUSCULAR INCOORDINATION, FATIGUE, NAUSEA AND VOMITING,
AND UNCONSCIOUSNESS. CHRONIC: HALOTHANE IS A POSSIBLE CARCINOGEN,
POSSIBLE MUTAGENIC EFFECTS.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NONE KNOWN.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:INHALATION: IMMEDIATELY REMOVE VICTIM TO FRESH AIR. IF
BREATHING HAS STOPPED, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF BREATHING IS
DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN. CONTACT A PHYSICIAN. EYES: FLUSH WITH
POTABLE WATER F OR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. SEE MD . SKIN: FLUSH WITH
COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF WATER. SEE MD . INGESTION: CALL MD IMMEDIATELY .
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Flash Point:NON-FLAMMABLE
Extinguishing Media:USE WHAT IS APPROPRIATE FOR SURROUNDING FIRE, BUT
AVOID USE OF WATER FOR EXTINGUISHMENT BECAUSE WHEN IN CONTACT WITH
MOISTURE, THIS MATERIAL WILL ATTACK ALUMINUM, BRASS AND LEAD.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR NIOSH APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING
APPARATUS AND FULL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT . USE WATER SPRAY TO KEEP
FIRE-EXPOSED CONTAINERS COOL.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:WHEN EXPOSED TO LIGHT AND HEAT, THIS
MATERIAL DECOMPOSES SLOWLY AND MAY FORM VOLATILE ACIDS. HALOTHANE
EMITS TOXIC FUMES UNDER FIRE CONDITIONS.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:EVACUATE AND VENTILATE AREA. REMOVE LEAKING
CYLINDER TO EXHAUST HOOD OR SAFE OUTDOORS AREA IF THIS CAN BE DONE
SAFELY.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN WELL-VENTILATED AREAS ONLY.
KEEP VALVE PROTECTION CAP ON CYLINDERS WHEN NOT IN USE AND SECURE
CYLINDER WHEN USING TO PROTECT FROM FALLING. USE SUITABLE HAND
TRUCK TO MOVE CYLINDERS.
Other Precautions:PROTECT CONTAINERS FROM PHYSICAL DAMAGE. DO NOT
DEFACE CYLINDERS OR LABELS. CYLINDER SHOULD BE REFILLED BY
QUALIFIED PRODUCERS OF COMPRESSED GASES. SHIPMENT OF A COMPRESSED
GAS CYLINDER WHICH HAS NOT BEEN FILLED BY THE OWNER OR WITH HIS
WRITTEN CONSENT IS A VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW (49 CFR).
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:USE A NIOSH APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING
APPARATUS IN CASE OF EMERGENCY OR NON-ROUTINE USE.
Ventilation:PROVIDE ADEQUATE GENERAL AND LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION TO
MAINTAIN CONCENTRATION BELOW EXPOSURE LIMITS.
Protective Gloves:RUBBER GLOVES.
Eye Protection:ANSI APPROVED CHEMICAL WORKERS GOGGLES .
Other Protective Equipment:EYEWASH AND DELUGE SHOWER MEETING ANSI
DESIGN CRITERIA . WEAR SAFETY SHOES.
