Section 2. Hazards identification
Potential Acute Health Inhalation and skin contact are expected to be the primary routes of occupational exposure to
Effects chlorendic anhydride. This material is irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Allergic
skin reaction may occur in susceptible individuals. Chlorendic anhydride is considered, on the
basis of single exposure (acute) animal tests, to be slightly toxic after ingestion (swallowing),
practically non-toxic after inhalation and skin contact, severely irritating to eyes and practically
non-irritating to skin.
Potential Chronic Health Chlorendic anhydride will slowly degrade to chlorendic acid in the presence of water and/or
Effects sunlight. The National Toxicology Program (NTP) has concluded that there is clear evidence
of carcinogenicity (cancer) in a feeding study of rats and mice using chlorendic acid.
International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has given chlorendic acid an overall
evaluation of 2B (possibly carcinogenic).

Section 4. First-aid measures
Inhalation If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Get medical attention.
Ingestion If swallowed, induce vomiting as directed by medical personnel. Get medical attention. NEVER
GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON.
Section 5. Fire-fighting measures
Fire Fighting Media Non-Flammable. Not considered to present risks of explosion. However, contains up to 3%
and Instructions occluded volatiles, which can present a fire hazard if sufficient oxygen and a source of ignition is
present. Ground containers and equipment to avoid static charge accumulation and/or use an
inert atmosphere to prevent combustion.
Section 6. Accidental release measures
Small Spill Use appropriate tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal container.
Large Spill Stop the leak if possible. Ventilate the area involved. Sweep up the material and place in
container for later disposal.
Section 7. Handling and storage
Handling S36/37/39 鈥? Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protection.
S61- Avoid release to the environment. Refer to special instructions/safety data sheet.
S25 鈥? Avoid contact with eyes.
S26 鈥? In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water. Seek medical
attention.
Storage Store in well ventilated area away from sources of ignition.
Section 8. Exposure controls/personal protection
Engineering Controls Investigate engineering techniques to reduce exposures. Provide ventilation if necessary to
minimize exposure. If practical use local mechanical exhaust ventilation at sources of air
contamination such as open process equipment.
Personal Protection Chemical resistant coveralls, gloves and boot covers. Shoes/boots. A full-face piece respirator
with dual organic vapor and particulate matter cartridge is recommended.
Personal Protection in Chemical resistant coveralls, gloves and boot covers. Shoes/boots. A full-face piece respirator
Case of a Large Spill with dual organic vapor and particulate matter cartridge is recommended. Suggested protective
clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist BEFORE handling this product.
