SECTION 4: FIRE AND EXPLOSION DATA



Fire and explosion data not applicable to the intact lamp. There is so little sodium in this

lamp that exposing the broken inner arc tube to water will not produce fire. Under

extreme heat outer glass envelope might melt or crack. The inner arc tube is composed of

polycrystalline alumina and is refractory material.



SECTION 5: REACTVITY DATA



Stability: The lamp is stable

Incompatibility: Glass envelope will react with hydrofluoric acid, sodium reacts with

water but in this case the amount of sodium is extremely small and reaction will not be

vigorous.



SECTION 6: HEALTH EFFECTS



Not applicable in the intact lamp. The inner envelope is composed of polycrystalline

alumina. Breakage of this envelope may result in some exposure to elemental sodium and

mercury. No adverse effects are expected from occasional exposure to broken lamps. As

a matter of good practice, breakage should be avoided. Prolonged or frequent exposure to

broken envelopes should be avoided through use of adequate ventilation during disposal

of large quantities of lamps.



SECTION 7: PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE



Normal precautions should be taken for the collection of broken glass.



Waste Disposal Method: At the end of rated life, when this lamp is removed from

service, it will be subjected to the current Toxic Characteristic Leaching Procedure

(TCLP) prescribed by the Environmental Protection Agency. This test is used to

determining whether an item is a hazardous waste or a non-hazardous waste under

current E. P. A. definition. Philips Lighting will provide the test protocol on request.

This result will allow the end user to evaluate all of the disposal options, which may be

available in the particular state in which the generator facility is located. Disposal of this

lamp is currently regulated in California, Minnesota, Vermont, Connecticut, Maine (mid

2002), and the incinerator counties of Florida. The generator should check with local and

state officials for their guidance. In most states ALTO lamps are considered non-

hazardous subtitle D waste. Philips encourages recycling of its products by qualified

recyclers.

                      Including Non-Cycling lamp types

                      50W, 70W, 100W, 150W, 250W and 400W



SECTION 8: CONTROL MEASURES



Respiratory Protection: Appropriate dust mask should be used if large quantities of lamps

are being broken for disposal



Ventilation: Avoid inhalation of any airborne dust. Provide local exhaust when disposing

of large quantities of lamps.



Hand and Eye Protection: Appropriate hand and eye protection should be worn when

disposing of large quantities of lamps or broken lamps.



SECTION 9: REGULATORY INFORMATION



As a product these mercury containing lamps being shipped in the manufacturers original

packaging are not regulated by air, truck or ocean shipment. As a waste, this spent ALTO

lamp would be regulated in California, Minnesota, Connecticut, Vermont, Maine (will

regulate disposal as of Mid 2002), and certain communities of Florida. Disposal of ALTO

lamps as non-hazardous in Tennessee requires a permit. Households are exempt in most

States except Minnesota and Vermont. This material safety data sheet does not constitute

“knowledge of the waste�, in certain jurisdictions. TCLP data will be furnished upon

request.
