===================== Hazards Identification =====================
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALATION: MERCURY VAPOR IS HIGHLY
TOXIC VIA THIS ROUTE. CAUSES SEVERE RESPIRATORY TRACT DAMAGE. GI
TRACK DISTURBANCE, LIVER CHANGES,, BRONCHITIS AND PHEUMONITIS. CAN
BE ABSORBED THROUGH INHALATION W ITH SYMPTOMS SIMILAR TO INGESTION.
INGESTION: MAY CAUSE BURNING OF MOUTH AND PHARYNAX, ABDOMINAL PAIN,
CORROSIVE ULCERATION, BLOODY DIARRHEA. MAY BE FOLLOWED BY A REPAID
AND WEAK PULSE, SHALLOW BREATH ING, COLLAPSE. DELAYED DEATH MAY
OCCUR FROM RENAL FAILURE. GASTROINTENSTINAL UPTAKE OF MERCURY IS
LESS THAN 5% BUT ITS ABILITY TO PENETRATE TISSUES PRESENTS SOME
HAZARD. SKIN CONTACT: CAUSES IRRITATIO N AND BURNS (CONTD. SEE
"TOXICOLOGICAL")
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:EPA / IRIS CLASSIFICATION: GROUP D1 -
NOT CLASSIFIED AS A HUMAN CARCINOGEN. NTP CARCINOGEN: NOT KNOWN NOR

BREATHING DIFFICULTIES, SHORTNESS OF BREATH, HEADACHE, MUSCLE
WEAKNESS, ANOREXIA, GASTROINTESTIONAL DISTURBANCE, RINGING IN EARS,
LIVER CHANGES, FEVER, BRONCHI TIS, PHEUMONITIS, SYMPTOMS SIMJLAR TO
INGESTION. INGESTION: BURNING OF MOUTH AND PHARYNAX, THIRST,
ABDOMINAL PAIN, VOMITING, CORROSIVE ULCERATION, BLOODY DIARRHEA,
RAPID AND WEAK PULSE, SHALLOW BREATH ING, PALENESS, EXHAUSTION,
TREMORS, COLLAPSE. SKIN CONTACT: IRRITATION, BURNS, REDNESS, PAIN,
SKIN ALLERGY,SENSITIZATION, SYMPTOMS PARALLEL TO INGESTION. EYE
CONTACT: IRRITATION, BURNS, REDNESS, PAIN, BLURRED VISION,
PERMANENT EYE DAMAGE.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PERSONS WITH NERVOUS DISORDERS, OR
IMPAIRED KIDNEY OR RESPIRATORY FUNCTION, OR A HISTORY OF ALLERGIES
OR A KNOWN SENSITIZATION TO MERCURY MAY BE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE
EFFECTS OF THE SUBSTANCE.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE
ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN. GET
MEDICAL ATTENTION. INGESTION: INDUCE VOMITING DIRECTED BY MEDICAL
PERSONNEL. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO UNCONSCIOUS PERSON. GET
MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN CONTACT: FLUSH WITH WATER FOR 15 MINUTES.
REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND SHOES. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. WASH
CLOTHIN G BEFORE REUSE. CLEAN SHOES BEFORE REUSE. EYE CONTACT:
FLUSH WITH WATER FOR 15 MINUTES, LIFTING LOWER AND UPPER EYELIDS
OCCASIONALLY. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Extinguishing Media:NOT CONSIDERED TO BE A FIRE HAZARD. USE ANY MEANS
SUITABLE FOR EXTINGUISHING SURROUNDING FIRE. DO NOT ALLOW WATER
RUNOFF TO ENTER SEWERS OR WATERWAYS.
Fire Fighting Procedures:IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE WEAR FULL PROTECTIVE
CLOTHING AND NIOSH-APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WITH
FULL FACEPIECE OPERATED IN THE PRESSUR DEMAND OR OTHER POSITIVE
PRESSURE MODE. UNDERGOES HAZARDOUS REACTIONS IN THE PRESENCE OF
HEAT AND SPARKS OR IGNITION. SMOKE MAY CONTAIN TOXIC MERCURY OR
MECURIC OXIDE
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:NOT CONSIDERED TO BE AN EXPLOSION
HAZARD,.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:VENTILATE AREA. CLEAN-UP PERSONNEL: WEAR
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND RESPIRATORY PROTECTION. SPILLS: PICK UP AND
PLACE IN SUITABLE CONTAINER FOR RECLAMATION OR DISPOSAL IN METHOD
THAT DOES NOT GENERATE MI STING. SPRINKLE AREA WITH SULFUR OR
CALCIUM POLYSULFIDE TO SUPPRESS MERCURY. DO NOT FLUSH TO SEWER.
U.S. REGULATIONS (CERCLA) REQUIRE REPORTING SPILLS AND RELEASES TO
(CONTD. SEE "FEDERAL REGULATORY")
Neutralizing Agent:J.T. BAKER CINNASORB AND RESISORB ARE RECOMMENDED
FOR SPILLS OF THIS PRODUCT.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:KEEP IN A TIGHTLY CLOSED CONTAINER.
STORE IN A COOL, DRY, VENTILATED AREA. PROTECT AGAINST PHYSICAL
DAMAGE. ISOLATE FROM SOURCES OF HEAT OR IGNITION. DO NOT USE OR
STORE ON POROUS WORK SURFACES (WOOD , UNSEALED CONCRETE, ETC.).
FOLLOW STRICT HYGIENE PRACTICES.
Other Precautions:CONTAINERS OF THIS MATERIAL MAY BE HAZARDOUS WHEN
EMPTY SINCE THEY RETAIN PRODUCT RESIDUES (VAPORS, LIQUID); OBSERVE
ALL WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS LISTED FOR THE PRODUCT.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:IF EXPOSURE LIMIT EXCEEDED, A HALF-FACE
REPIRATOR WITH A MERCURY VAPOR OR CHLORINE GAS CARTRIDGE MAY BE
WORN FOR UP TO MAX. USE CONCENTRATION SPECIFIED. FOR EMERGENCIES OR
WHERE EXPOSURE LEVELS NOT KN OWN, USE FULL-FACE PIECE POSITIVE
PRESS., AIR SUPPLIED RESPIRATOR. WARNING ! AIR-PURIFYING
RESPIRATORS DO NOT PROTECT WORKERS IN OXYGEN-DEFICIENT ATMOSPHERS
Ventilation:A SYSTEM OF LOCAL AND/OR GENERAL EXHAUST IS RECOMMENDED TO
KEEP EXPOSURE BELOW AIRBORNE EXPOSURE LIMITS. LOCAL EXHAUST
VENTILATION (CONTD. SEE "WORK HYGENIC")
Protective Gloves:WEAR IMPERVIOUS PROTECTIVE GLOVES TO PREVENT SKIN
CONTACT.
Eye Protection:USE CHEMICAL SAFETY GOGGLES AND/OR A FULL FACE SHIELD
FOR SPLASHING.
Other Protective Equipment:WEAR IMPERVIOUS CLOTHING, INCLUDING BOOTS,
GLOVES, LAB COAT, APRON OR COVERALLS, AS APPROPRIATE, TO PREVENT
SKIN CONTACT.PROVIDE EYE-WASH FOUNTAIN AND QUICK-DRENCH FACILITIES
IN WORK AREA.
Work Hygienic Practices:(CONTD. FROM "VENTILATION") IS GENERALLY
PREFERRED BECAUSE IT CAN CONTROL THE CONTAMINANT EMISSIONS AT ITS
SOURCE, PREVENTING DISPERSION INTO GENERAL WORK AREA.
