VARYING (EFTS OF OVEREXP)
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT RELEVANT
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZ:DURATION & AT DIFF AIR CONCS SHOW THAT
FOR SIMILAR EXPOS CNDTNS, 54% CHLORINATED MATL PRDCES MORE LIVER
INJURY THAN 42% CHLORINATED MATL. OTHER:THERE ARE LITERATURE RPTS

First Aid:INGEST:CONSULT MD. DO NOT INDUCE VOMIT/GIVE ANY OILY
LAXATIVES. NOTE TO MD:IF LG AMTS INGESTED, GASTRIC LAVAGE IS
SUGGESTED. SKIN:CONTAM CLTHG SHOULD BE REMOVED & SKIN WASHED THORO
W/SOAP & WATER. NOT E TO MD:HOT PCB'S MAY CAUSE THERMAL BURNS.
EYES:SHOULD BE IRRIGATED IMMED W/COPIOUS AMTS OF RUNNING WATER FOR
AT LST 15 MINS. PETRO-BASED OPHTHALMIC OINTMENT MAY BE APPLIED TO
RELIEVE IRRIT (ING 12)

Flash Point:SEE INGS
Extinguishing Media:MEDIA SUITABLE FOR SURROUNDING FIRE .
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED SCBA & FULL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT . FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT MUST BE THOROUGHLY CLEANED &
DECONTAMINATED AFTER USE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CHLORODIPHENYLS ARE ESSNTLY NON-COMBUST
CMPDS. THEY MAY DECOMPOSE TO FORM CO, CO*2, HCL, PHENOLICS &
ALDEHYDES UNDER SEV CNDTNS SUCH AS EXPOS TO FLAME/ (SUPDAT)

Spill Release Procedures:ALL WASTES & RESIDUES CONTAINING PCB'S (E.G.,
WIPING CLOTHS, ABSORB MATL, USED DISPOSABLE PROT GLOVES, CLTHG,
ETC) SHOULD BE COLLECTED, PLACED IN PROPER CNTNRS, MARKED &

Handling and Storage Precautions:AVOID PROLONGED OR REPEATED SKIN
CONTACT.
Other Precautions:PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE REGULARLY INSPECTED
FOR DEFECTS & TO ENSURE THAT IT IS IN CLEAN & IN SATISFACTORY
WORKING CONDITION.

Respiratory Protection:AT ROOM TEMP, HAZ OF INHAL IS CONSIDERED
SLIGHT/ABSENT. NIOSH/MSHA APPRVD CHEM CARTRIDGE RESPS/GAS MASKS
APPRVD FOR PROT AGAINST ORG VAPS ARE REC IN EVENT OF SPILLS/LEAKS
OF HOT FLUIDS. THESE WILL PRO VIDE GOOD PROT UP TO CONCS SHOWN(ING
