Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES IARC:YES OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE: MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE CENTRAL
NERVOUS SYSTEM. CHRONIC: MAY CAUSE NEUROPATHY SUCH AS INCREASED
SWEATING, TINGLING AND WEAKNESS IN THE HANDS AND FEET. UNSTEADY
GAIT AND DECREASED REFLEXES MAY A LSO BE OBSERVED. EITHER ACUTE OR
CHRONIC EXPOSURE MAY LEAD TO WEAK OR ABSENT REFLEXES. AN EARLY SIGN
OF OVEREXPOSURE IS PEELING OF SKIN OF FINGERTIPS.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:ACRYLAMIDE: IARC MONOGRAPHS, VOL 60, PG
389, 1994:GROUP 2A. NTP 8TH ANNUAL REPORT ON CARCINOGENS, 1998:
REASONABLY ANTICIPATED TO BE HUMAN CARCINOGEN. ANIMAL: CNS TOXIN,
NEOPLASMS.
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION: AIRBORNE ACRYLAMIDE IS READILY
ABSORBED THROUGH THE LUNG AND OVEREXPOSURE WILL PRODUCE SIGNS OF
NEUROPATHY. CONTACT WITH EYES: SODIUM AZIDE: MAY CAUSE IRRITATION.
ACRYLAMIDE: MAY CAUSE CON JUNCTIVAL IRRITATION. ABSORBED THROUGH
SKIN: ACRYLAMIDE: READILY ABSORBED THROUGH SKIN. MAY CAUSE DAMAGE
TO THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. INGESTION: NEUROTOXICITY FROM A
SINGLE INGESTION CAN RESULT BUT IS MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR AFTER
REPEATED INGESTION OF SMALL AMOUNTS OVER A PERIOD OF SEVERAL DAYS
OR WEEKS.

First Aid:EYES: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR AT
LEAST 15 MINUTES, LIFTING UPPER & LOWER LIDS OCCASIONALLY. GET
IMMEDIATE MED ATTN. SKIN: IMMEDIATELY REMOVE ANY CONTAMINATED
CLOTHING WITHOUT DELAY. DO NOT RE-USE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING
WITHOUT RE-LAUNDERING. WASH SKIN WITH SOAP OR MILD DETERGENT &
WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. GET MED ATTN IF IRRIT DEVELOPS OR
PERSISTS. INHAL: REMOVE TO F RESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING GIVE CPR.
CONSULT MED PERSONNEL. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN.
INGEST: GIVE TWO GLASSES OF WATER & THEN INDUCE VOMITING. NEVER
GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSC IOUS PERSON. GET MED ATTN
IMMEDIATELY.
