EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: colorless to pale yellow clear liquid. Flash Point: 19 deg C.
Danger! Highly flammable.
Caution! Lachrymator (substance which increases the flow
of tears). May cause respiratory and digestive tract irritation. May
cause eye and skin irritation. May cause central nervous system
depression. May cause cardiac disturbances. May cause bone marrow
damage. May cause liver and kidney damage.
Target Organs: Kidneys, central nervous system,
liver, cardiovascular system, bone marrow.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Produces irritation, characterized by a burning sensation, redness,
tearing, inflammation, and possible corneal injury. Lachrymator
(substance which increases the flow of tears). May cause chemical
conjunctivitis and corneal damage.
Skin:
May cause irritation and dermatitis. May cause cyanosis of the
extremities.
Ingestion:
May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea. May cause liver and kidney damage. May cause cardiac
disturbances. Ingestion of large amounts may cause CNS depression.
May cause bone marrow damage.
Inhalation:
May cause respiratory tract irritation. May cause liver and kidney
damage. Aspiration may lead to pulmonary edema. Vapors may cause
dizziness or suffocation. May cause cardiac abnormalities. Exposure
may produce metabolic acidosis. Inhalation at high concentrations
may cause CNS depression and asphixiation. May cause burning
sensation in the chest.
Chronic:
May cause liver and kidney damage. May cause bone marrow
abnormalities with damage to blood forming tissues. Effects may be
delayed.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
|
Eyes:
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally
lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid. Do NOT allow vi
ctim to rub eyes or keep eyes closed.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing
before reuse.
Ingestion:
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical
aid. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse mouth and
drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If breathing
is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation. If breathing has ceased apply artificial respiration
using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device such as a bag and a
mask.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
|
General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
protective gear. Vapors may form an explosive mixture with air.
Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash back. During a
fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal
decomposition or combustion. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed
containers cool. Water may be ineffective. Material is lighter than
water and a fire may be spread by the use of water. Vapors may be
heavier than air. They can spread along the ground and collect in
low or confined areas. Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or
flame. Containers may explode if exposed to fire.
Extinguishing Media:
Water may be ineffective. Water may spread fire. If water is the
only media available, use in flooding amounts. Do NOT use straight
streams of water. For small fires, use carbon dioxide, dry chemical,
dry sand, or alcohol-resistant foam. Cool containers with flooding
quantities of water until well after fire is out. For large fires,
use water spray, fog or regular foam.
Flash Point: 19 deg C ( 66.20 deg F)
Autoignition Temperature: Not applicable.
Explosion Limits, Lower:Not available.
Upper: Not available.
NFPA Rating:
(estimated) Health: ; Flammability: ; Instability:
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
|
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth),
then place in suitable container. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and
ditches which lead to waterways. Clean up spills immediately,
observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Remove all
sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool. Provide ventilation. A
vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate ventilation.
Ground and bond containers when transferring material. Use
spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment. Avoid contact with
eyes, skin, and clothing. Empty containers retain product residue,
(liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Keep container tightly
closed. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Avoid ingestion and
inhalation. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill,
grind, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames.
Storage:
Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a tightly closed
container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from
incompatible substances. Flammables-area.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
|
Engineering Controls:
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped
with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate
ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.
