FOOTNOTES
1 PROTECTIVE ACTION ZONE is defined as the area in which people are at risk
of harmful exposure. This zone assumes that random changes in wind direction
confines the vapour plume to an area within 30 degrees on either side of the
predominant wind direction, resulting in a crosswind protective action distance
equal to the downwind protective action distance.
2 PROTECTIVE ACTIONS should be initiated to the extent possible, beginning with
those closest to the spill and working away from the site in the downwind
direction. Within the protective action zone a level of vapour concentration
may exist resulting in nearly all unprotected persons becoming incapacitated
and unable to take protective action and/or incurring serious or irreversible

Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
The local concentration of material, quantity and conditions of use determine
the type of personal protective equipment required. For further information
consult site specific CHEMWATCH data (if available), or your Occupational
Health and Safety Advisor.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Local exhaust ventilation usually required. If risk of overexposure exists, wear
approved respirator. Correct fit is essential to obtain adequate protection.
Supplied-air type respirator may be required in special circumstances. Correct
fit is essential to ensure adequate protection.
An approved self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) may be required in some
situations.
Provide adequate ventilation in warehouse or closed storage area. Air
contaminants generated in the workplace possess varying "escape" velocities
which, in turn, determine the "capture velocities" of fresh circulating air
required to effectively remove the contaminant.
Type of Contaminant: Air Speed:
solvent, vapours, degreasing etc., 0.25-0.5 m/s (50-100 f/min.)
evaporating from tank (in still air).
aerosols, fumes from pouring 0.5-1 m/s (100-200 f/min.)
operations, intermittent container
filling, low speed conveyer transfers,
welding, spray drift, plating acid
fumes, pickling (released at low
velocity into zone of active
generation)
direct spray, spray painting in shallow 1-2.5 m/s (200-500 f/min.)
booths, drum filling, conveyer loading,
crusher dusts, gas discharge (active
generation into zone of rapid air
motion)
grinding, abrasive blasting, tumbling, 2.5-10 m/s (500-2000 f/min.)
high speed wheel generated dusts
(released at high initial velocity into
zone of very high rapid air motion).
Within each range the appropriate value depends on:
Lower end of the range Upper end of the range
1: Room air currents minimal or 1: Disturbing room air currents
favourable to capture
2: Contaminants of low toxicity or of 2: Contaminants of high toxicity
nuisance value only.
3: Intermittent, low production. 3: High production, heavy use
4: Large hood or large air mass in 4: Small hood-local control only
motion
Simple theory shows that air velocity falls rapidly with distance away from the
opening of a simple extraction pipe. Velocity generally decreases with the
square of distance from the extraction point (in simple cases). Therefore the
air speed at the extraction point should be adjusted, accordingly, after
reference to distance from the contaminating source. The air velocity at the
extraction fan, for example, should be a minimum of 1-2 m/s (200-400 f/min) for
extraction of solvents generated in a tank 2 meters distant from the extraction

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
EYE
Eye contact with organic peroxides may produce superficial opacity, redness,
swelling of the membranes, and burns on prolonged contact.
The material may produce severe irritation to the eye causing pronounced
inflammation. Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce
conjunctivitis.
SKIN
All organic peroxides are irritating to the skin and if allowed to remain on the
skin, may produce inflammation; some are allergenic.
Open cuts, abraded or irritated skin should not be exposed to this material.
The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and
may produce a contact dermatitis (nonallergic). This form of dermatitis is often
characterised by skin redness (erythema) and swelling epidermis. Histologically
there may be intercellular oedema of the spongy layer (spongiosis) and
intracellular oedema of the epidermis.
INHALED
Not normally a hazard due to non-volatile nature of product.
Inhalation of organic peroxide dusts or mists may produce irritation of the
entire respiratory tract and induce asthma-like effects. Generalised
over-exposure may produce tearing, salivation, lethargy, decreased respiration
rate, difficulties in breathing, headache, weakness, tremor, even pulmonary
oedema with intoxication similar to that produced by alcohol.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Chronic exposure to certain peroxides produces allergic dermatitis (with redness
and scaling of the skin) and asthmatic wheezing. Practical experience shows that
skin contact with the material is capable either of inducing a sensitisation
reaction in a substantial number of individuals, and/or of producing a positive
response in experimental animals. Sensitisation may result in allergic
dermatitis responses including rash, itching, hives or swelling of extremities.
Sensitisation may give severe responses to very low levels of exposure, in

The phthalate esters are distributed throughout the environment ubiquitously.
They are found complexed with fulvic acid components of the humic substances in
soil and marine and estuarine waters. Fulvic acid appears to act as a
solubiliser for the otherwise insoluble ester and serves to mediate its
transport and mobilisation in water or immobilisation in soil. Phthalate esters
have been found in open ocean environments, in deep sea jelly fish, Atlantic
herring and in mackerel. Phthalic ester plasticisers are clearly recognised as

have low acute toxicity but the weight of evidence supporting their
carcinogenicity is substantial. Other subtle chronic effects have also been
reported. As little as 4 ug/ml in culture medium is lethal to chick embryo heart
cells. This concentration is similar to that reached in human blood stored in
vinyl plastic bags for as little as one day. Some phthalates (notably
di2-ethylhexyl phthalate and dibutyl phthalate) may also be detrimental to the
reproduction of the water flea (Daphnia magna), zebra fish and guppies. As
phthalates are present in drinking water and food, concerns have been raised
about their long term effects on humans.
