Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE: ASPHYXIANT 'CNS' & PULMONARY
EFFECTS. SKIN IRRITANT, CHRONIC: NONE KNOWN.
Effects of Overexposure:INHAL: DIZZINESS, DISORIENTATION, IMPAIRED
COORDINATION, NARCOSIS, NAUSEA, OR VOMITING, LIGHT-HEADEDNESS
GIDDINESS, BREATH SHORTNESS. CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIA W/ UNCONSCIOUSNESS
OR EVEN DEATH IN HI-CONC W/L ONG EXPOSURES; SKIN/EYES: CONTACT
W/LIQUUID CAN CAUSE FROSTBITE, OR SKIN IRRITATION.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:CARDIAC PROBLEMS. (PRODUCT IS AN
ASPHYXIANT & CAN INDUCE CARDIAC MUSCLE SENSITIZATION TO CIRCULATING
EPINEPHRINE-LIKE COMPOUNDS.)
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:INHAL: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR-GET MED. ATTN. & GIVE O*2/CPR AS
REQUIRED FOR SITUATION & @ HAND; DONOT GIVE EPINEPHRINE OR SIMILIAR
DRUGS AS CATECOLAMINES INCREASE RISK OF ELICITING CARDIAC
DYSRYTHMIAS. E YES/SKIN: FLUSH CARDIAC DYSRYTHMIAS. FROSTBITE W/
MEDICAL ATTN. ; INGEST: NOT LIKELY TO OCCUR.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Flash Point:NONE
Extinguishing Media:MATERIAL IS A FIRE EXTINGUISHANT & IS
NON-FLAMMABLE. USE MEDIA APPROPRIATE FOR SURROUNDING FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE 'SCBA' WHEN FIGHTING FIRES WHERE CHEMICALS
ARE INVOLVED. 'SCBA' MAY BE NEEDED IF HALON-1211 CONTAINER RUPTURES
OR RELEASES MATERIAL IN HEAT OF FIRE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:IN HEAT OF FIRE, HALON-1211 CONTAINER
EXPOSED TO INTENSE HEAT OF FIRE MAY RUPTURE & MATERIAL COMPOSITION
MAY OCCUR.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:EVACUATE AREA OF UNNEDED PERSONNEL, VENTILATE
AREA ESPECIALLY LOW PLACES WHERE HEAVY VAPORS MIGHT COLLECT. COOL
OR REMOVE HOT METAL SURFACES OR SOURCES OF NON-EXTINGUISHED FLAMES.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE & HANDLE AS A LIQUIFIED
COMPRESSED GAS IN 'DOT' APPROVED PRESSURE VESSELS AWAY FROM
HI-TEMPERATURES.
Other Precautions:AVOID UNNECESSARY EXPOSURE TO HALON 1211 ! ABOVE
4%(17 LBS/1000 CU FT AIR & >1 MIN;DIZZINESS, IMPAIRED COORDINATION
& REDUCED MENTAL ALERTNESS); ABOVE 5% CONC(22 LBS/1000 CU FT OF
AIR),USE AIR-SUPPLIE D RESPIRATORS.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:NOT NORMALLY NECESSARY IF PROPER ENGINEERING
CONTROLS ARE IN PLACE. IF PEL/TLV ARE EXCEEDED, USE POSITIVE
PRESSURE AIR-SUPPLIED RESPIRATOR. REVIEW 29CFR1910.134
INSTRUCTIONS/WARNING AS WELL AS NIOSH-R ESPIRATOR DECISON LOGIC
PUB#87.108.
Ventilation:PROVIDE SUFFICIENT GENERAL/LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION IN
PATTERN/VOLUME TO CONTROL INHALATION EXPOSURE BELOW PEL/TLV.
Protective Gloves:LINED BUTYL OR AS REQUIRED FOR TASK
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL SPLASH TYPE OR AS REQ.FOR TASK
Other Protective Equipment:AS REQUIRED TO MINIMIZE EXPOSURE & MAXIMIZE
INDIVIDUAL PROTECTION.
Work Hygienic Practices:OBSERVE PROCEDURES SET FORTH BY SAFETY/IH
PERSONNEL FOR USE OF THIS MATERIAL FOR TASK AT HAND
Supplemental Safety and Health
SMALL CONC(5%) OF HALON EXTINGUISH FLAMES BY CHEMICALLY INTERRUPTING
COMBUSTION-NOT BY REPLACING O*2. HOWEVER, VAPORIZATION OF EXCESSIVE
