HANDLING PROCEDURES





ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS:
This compound is a highly toxic irritant [062]. It is irritating to the skin
and respiratory tract, and corrosive to the eyes. It is also extremely cor-
rosive to the mouth and throat. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic
fumes of CO, CO2, chlorine or HCl, and other unidentified organic compounds
in black smoke [058].

MINIMUM PROTECTIVE CLOTHING:
If Tyvek-type disposable protective clothing is not worn during
handling of this chemical, wear disposable Tyvek-type sleeves taped to
your gloves.

RECOMMENDED GLOVE MATERIALS:
GlovES+ Expert System Glove Types For The Neat (Undiluted) Chemical:
This chemical has not been tested for permeation by Radian Corporation;
however, the GlovES+ expert system was used to extrapolate permeation test
information from compounds in the same chemical class. The GlovES+ system uses
permeation data from literature sources; therefore, extra safety margins should
be used with the estimated protection time(s). If this chemical makes direct
contact with your glove, or if a tear, puncture or hole develops, replace them
at once.
The GlovES+ expert system is a tool that can help people better manage
protection from chemicals, however this tool cannot replace sound judgment nor
make technical decisions. Our GlovES+ expert system is designed to offer
initial advice and assistance in glove selection while the final glove
selection should be made by knowledgeable individuals based on the specific
circumstances involved.

Glove Type            Model Number      Thickness   Estimated Protection Time

Nitrile               Edmont 37-155      0.38 mm            240 min.

Viton                 North F-091        0.24 mm            240 min.


RECOMMENDED RESPIRATOR:
Where the neat test chemical is weighed and diluted, wear a NIOSH-
approved half face respirator equipped with an organic vapor/acid gas
cartridge (specific for organic vapors, HCl, acid gas and SO2) with a
dust/mist filter.

OTHER: Not available

STORAGE PRECAUTIONS:
You should store this chemical under refrigerated temperatures,
and protect it from light.

SPILLS AND LEAKAGE:
Should a spill occur while you are handling this chemical, FIRST REMOVE
ALL SOURCES OF IGNITION, then you should dampen the solid spill material with
60-70% ethanol and transfer the dampened material to a suitable container. Use
absorbent paper dampened with 60-70% ethanol to pick up any remaining material.
Seal the absorbent paper, and any of your clothes, which may be contaminated,
in a vapor-tight plastic bag for eventual disposal. Solvent wash all contamin-
ated surfaces with 60-70% ethanol followed by washing with a soap and water
solution. Do not reenter the contaminated area until the Safety Officer (or
other responsible person) has verified that the area has been properly cleaned.

DISPOSAL AND WASTE TREATMENT: Not available





EMERGENCY PROCEDURES





SKIN CONTACT:
IMMEDIATELY flood affected skin with water while removing and isolating
all contaminated clothing. Gently wash all affected skin areas thoroughly
with soap and water.
IMMEDIATELY call a hospital or poison control center even if no symptoms
(such as redness or irritation) develop.
IMMEDIATELY transport the victim to a hospital for treatment after
washing the affected areas.

INHALATION:
IMMEDIATELY leave the contaminated area; take deep breaths of fresh air.
If symptoms (such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, or burning in
the mouth, throat, or chest) develop, call a physician and be prepared to
transport the victim to a hospital.
Provide proper respiratory protection to rescuers entering an unknown
atmosphere. Whenever possible, Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA)
should be used; if not available, use a level of protection greater than or
equal to that advised under Respirator Recommendation.

EYE CONTACT:
First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present. Flush
victim's eyes with water or normal saline solution for 20 to 30 minutes while
simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center.
Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without
specific instructions from a physician.
IMMEDIATELY transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even if
no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop.

INGESTION:
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Phenols are very toxic poisons AND corrosive
and irritating, so that inducing vomiting may make medical problems worse.
IMMEDIATELY call a hospital or poison control center and locate activated
charcoal, egg whites, or milk in case the medical advisor recommends admini-
stering one of them.
If advice from a physician is not readily available and the victim is
conscious and not convulsing, give the victim a glass of activated charcoal
slurry in water or, if this is not available, a glass of milk, or beaten egg
whites and IMMEDIATELY transport victim to a hospital.
If the victim is convulsing or unconscious, do not give anything by mouth,
assure that the victim's airway is open and lay the victim on his/her side with
the head lower than the body. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. IMMEDIATELY transport
the victim to a hospital.

SYMPTOMS:
Symptoms of exposure to this compound in humans include drowsiness, loss
of consciousness, irregular pulse and cyanosis. It may also cause irritation
of the skin and mucous membranes [052]. It is corrosive to the eyes, and
extremely corrosive to the mouth and throat. Swallowing dusts or solids
causes severe and rapid burning of the mouth, throat and digestive tract
accompanied by severe pain, vomiting and collapse [058]. It has also caused
severe porphyrea cutanea tarda [151].
Symptoms of exposure in laboratory animals include diarrhea, lassitude,
rapid breathing, dyspnea and death [151].
