Potential
Acute Health Effects: Very
hazardous in case of ingestion. Hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of
eye contact (irritant), of inhalation. Slightly hazardous in case of skin
contact (permeator).
Potential
Chronic Health Effects: Hazardous
in case of ingestion, of inhalation. CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS: Classified A2
(Suspected for human.) by ACGIH.
MUTAGENIC
EFFECTS: Not available. TERATOGENIC
EFFECTS: Not available.
DEVELOPMENTAL
TOXICITY: PROVEN The substance is toxic to blood, kidneys, lungs, the
reproductive system. Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce
target organs damage.
Section
4: First Aid Measures Eye Contact: Check
for and remove any contact lenses. Do not use an eye ointment. Seek medical
attention.
Skin
Contact: After contact
with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water. Gently and thoroughly wash the
contaminated skin with running water and non-abrasive soap. Be particularly
careful to clean folds, crevices, creases and groin. Cover the irritated skin
with an emollient. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.
Serious
Skin Contact: Wash with a
disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream.
Seek immediate medical attention.
Inhalation:
Allow the victim to rest
in a well ventilated area. Seek immediate medical attention.
Serious
Inhalation: Not available.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting.
Examine the lips and mouth to ascertain whether the tissues are damaged, a
possible indication that the toxic material was ingested; the absence of such
signs, however, is not conclusive. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie,
belt or waistband. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation. Seek immediate medical attention.

not ingest. Do not breathe dust. Wear suitable protective clothing In case of
insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment If ingested, seek
medical advice immediately and show the container or the label. Avoid contact
with skin and eyes Keep away from incompatibles such as acids.
Storage:
Carcinogenic, teratogenic
or mutagenic materials should be stored in a separate locked safety storage
cabinet or room.
Section
8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Engineering
Controls: Use process
enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep
airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If user operations generate
dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne contaminants
below the exposure limit.
Personal
Protection: Splash
goggles. Lab coat. Dust respirator. Be sure to use an approved/certified
respirator or equivalent. Gloves.
Personal
Protection in Case of a Large Spill: Splash
goggles. Full suit. Dust respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self contained breathing
