Emergency Overview
--------------------------
WARNING! HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED OR INHALED. AFFECTS CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM,
BRAIN AND EYES. MAY CAUSE IRRITATION TO SKIN, EYES, AND RESPIRATORY TRACT.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Potential Health Effects
----------------------------------
Inhalation: Dust may cause irritation to the respiratory tract. Symptoms may include
coughing, sore throat, and shortness of breath.
Ingestion:
It may cause nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. Ingestions are usually promptly
rejected by vomiting, but sufficient absorption may occur to produce central
nervous system, eye and brain effects. Symptoms may include skin rash, blurred
vision and other eye effects, drowsiness, irritability, dizziness, mania,
hallucinations, and coma.
Skin Contact:
Dry material may cause mild irritation. Solutions may cause irritation, redness,
pain, and skin burns.
Eye Contact:
It may cause irritation, redness and pain.
Chronic Exposure:
Repeated or prolonged exposure by any route may cause skin rashes (bromaderma).
Repeated ingestion of small amounts may cause central nervous system depression,
including depression, ataxia, psychoses, memory loss, irritability, and
headache.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:
Persons suffering from debilitation, depression, alcoholism, neurological or
psychological disorders may be more susceptible to the effects of
the substance.
4. First Aid Measures
Inhalation:
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing
is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician.
Ingestion:
Induce vomiting immediately as directed by medical personnel. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a physician.
Skin Contact:
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse.
Call a physician.
Eye Contact:
Wash eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Fire:
It is not considered to be a fire hazard.
Explosion: It is not considered to be an explosion hazard.
Fire Extinguishing Media:
Use any means suitable for extinguishing surrounding fire.
Special Information: In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved
self-contained breathing apparatus with full face piece operated in the pressure
demand or other positive pressure mode.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Spills: Sweep up and containerize for reclamation or disposal. Vacuuming or wet sweeping may be used to avoid dust dispersal.
7. Handling and Storage
Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical damage. Separate from incompatibilities. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.
8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Airborne Exposure Limits:
None established.
Ventilation System:
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee
exposures as low as possible. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred
because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source,
preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Please refer to the
ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices,
most recent edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):
For conditions of use where exposure to dust or mist is apparent and engineering
controls are not feasible, a particulate respirator (NIOSH type N95 or better
filters) may be worn. If oil particles (e.g. lubricants, cutting fluids,
glycerin, etc.) are present, use a NIOSH type R or P filter. For emergencies or
instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-face
positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air-purifying respirators
do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Skin Protection:
Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing.
Eye Protection: Use chemical safety goggles. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench
facilities in work area.
