STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Diluted standard can be absorbed with sand or other non-combustible absorbent material
and placed into a container for later disposal. Sample solutions should be absorbed with charcoal or other organic absorbent and incinerated. Flush area with water.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Dispose in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local regulations.
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE: Keep container tightly closed. Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated flammable liquid storage area.
Isolate from incompatible materials.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS* Do not heat or evaporate analytical standards to dryness.
Section VIII - Control Measures
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION (Please specify): Respiratory protection required if airborne concentrations exceeds PEL (750 ppm). At concentrations up to 5000 ppm
a chemical cartridge respirator with organic vapor cartridge is recommended. Above this level, a self-contained breathing apparatus is recommended. (20,000 is
immediately dangerous to life or health).
VENTILATION: Local exhaust
PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Butyl, neoprene, latex, or rubber gloves. EYE PROTECTION: Safety glasses or goggles.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Impervious Clothing.
EMERGENCY WASH FACILITIES: Maintain eye wash and quick drench showers in work area.
