HANDLING AND STORAGE
_______________________________________________________________
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES:
Do not get in eyes and avoid contact with skin and clothing. Use
with adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling. The
routine use of a nonalkaline (acid) type of hand cleaner and
regular cleaning of working surfaces, gloves, etc... will help
minimize the possibility of a skin reaction.

ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
________________________________________________________________
INTRODUCTION:
This environmental effects summary is written to assist in addressing
emergencies created by an accidental spill which might occur during
the shipment of this material, and, in general, it is not meant to
address discharges to sanitary sewers or publicly owned treatment
works.
SUMMARY:
Data for the major components of this material have been used to
estimate the environmental impact of this material. This material is
a strongly alkaline aqueous solution, and this property may cause
adverse environmental effects. However, this material, itself, has
not been tested for environmental effects.
IT IS EXPECTED TO HAVE THE FOLLOWING PROPERTIES:
A low biochemical oxygen demand and little potential to cause oxygen
depletion in aqueous systems, a high potential to affect some aquatic
organisms, a high potential to affect secondary waste treatment
microbial metabolism, a low potential to affect the germination and/or
early growth of some plants, a high potential to photochemically or
chemically degrade, a low potential to persist in the environment.
After dilution with a large amount of water, followed by secondary
waste treatment, this material is not expected to cause adverse
environmental effects.
________________________________________________________________
DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
________________________________________________________________
Discharge, treatment, or disposal may be subject to national, state,
or local laws. Flush to sewer with large amounts of water.
