Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:
First Aid
First Aid: INHALATION: If adverse effects occur, remove to
uncontaminated area. Give artificial respiration if not breathing.
Get immediate medical attention. SKIN CONTACT: If frostbite or
freezing occur, immediately flush with plenty of lukewarm water
(105-115 F; 41-46 C). DO NOT USE HOT WATER. If warm water is not
available, gently wrap affected parts in blankets. Get immediate
medical attention. EYE CONTACT: Flush eyes with plenty of water.
INGESTION: If a large amount is swallowed, get medical attention.
Fire Fighting
Extinguishing Media:carbon dioxide, regular dry chemical Large fires:
Flood with fine water spray.
Fire Fighting Procedures:Move container from fire area if it can be
done without risk. For fires in cargo or storage area: Cool
containers with water from unmanned hose holder or monitor nozzles
until well after fire is out. If this is impossible then take the
following precautions: Keep unnecessary people away, isolate hazard
area and deny entry. Let the fire burn. Withdraw immediately in
case of rising sound from venting safety device or any
discoloration of tanks due to fire. For tank, rail car or tank
truck: Stop leak if possible without personal risk. Let burn unless
leak can be stopped immediately. For smaller tanks or cylinders,
extinguish and isolate from other flammables. Evacuation radius:
800 meters (1/2 mile). Do not attempt to extinguish fire unless
flow of material can be stopped first. Flood with fine water spray.
Cool containers with water spray until well after the fire is out.
Apply water from a protected location or from a safe distance.
Avoid inhalation of material ocombustion by-products. Stay upwind
and keep out of low areas. Evacuate if fire gets out of control or
containers are directly exposed to fire. Evacuation radius: 500
meters (1/3 mile). Consider downwind evacuation if material is
leaking.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:Severe fire hazard. May ignite on
exposure to air.
Accidental Release
Spill Release Procedures:Avoid heat, flames, sparks and other sources
of ignition. Stop leak if possible without personal risk. Reduce
vapors with water spray. Keep unnecessary people away, isolate
hazard area and deny entry. Remove sources of ignition. Ventilate
closed spaces before entering.
Neutralizing Agent:
Handling
Handling and Storage Precautions:Store and handle in accordance with
all current regulations and standards. Subject to storage
regulations: U.S. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.101. Grounding and bonding
required. Keep separated from incompatible substances.
Other Precautions:
Exposure Controls
Respiratory Protection:Under conditions of frequent use or heavy
exposure, respiratory protection may be needed. Respiratory
protection is ranked in order from minimum to maximum. Consider
warning properties before use. Any chemical cartridge respirator
with organic vapor cartridge(s). Any chemical cartridge respirator
with a full facepiece and organic vapor cartridge(s). Any
air-purifying respirator with a full facepiece and an organic vapor
canister. For Unknown Concentrations or Immediately Dangerous to
Life or Health - Any supplied-air respirator with full facepiece
and operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode
in combination with a separate escape supply. Any self-contained
breathing apparatus with a full facepiece.
Ventilation:Provide local exhaust or process enclosure ventilation
system. Ventilation equipment should be explosion-resistant if
explosive concentrations of material are present. Ensure compliance
with applicable exposure limits.
Protective Gloves:Wear insulated gloves.
Eye Protection:For the gas: Eye protection not required, but
recommended. For the liquid: Wear splash resistant safety goggles.
Contact lenses should not be worn. Provide an emergency eye wash
fountain and quick drench shower in the immediate work area.
Other Protective Equipment:For the gas: Protective clothing is not
required. For the liquid: Wear appropriate protective, cold
insulating clothing.
Supplemental Safety and Health
