Aspiration into lungs may cause mild to severe pulmonary injury.
INHALATION: High concentrations or prolonged
exposure to lower concentrations may be slightly irritating to mucous
membranes. Inhalation overexposure can lead to central nervous system
depression producing effects such as headaches, nausea, dizziness and loss of
consciousness. Extreme exposures may cause other central nervous system effects
including death.
CHRONIC: Not established

SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING
PROCEDURES: Evacuate area of unprotected personnel. Wear protective clothing
including a NIOSH-Approved self-contained breathing apparatus. Cool
fire-exposed containers with water spray. Run-off from fire control may cause
pollution.
Accidental Release
Measures
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS
RELEASED OR SPILLED:
Review current local, state and federal laws, codes, statutes, and
regulations to determine appropriate agencies to be notified, and the
conditions under which they are to be notified. Eliminate all sources of
ignition. Evacuate unprotected personnel from area. Maintain adequate
ventilation. Use proper safety equipment. Contain spill, place into drums for
proper disposal. Soak up residue with non-flammable absorbent material. Place
in non-leaking containers for immediate disposal. Flush remaining area with
water to remove trace residue and dispose of properly. Avoid direct discharge
to sewers and surface waters. Notify authorities if entry occurs.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Review current local,
state and federal laws, codes, statutes, and regulations to determine current
status and appropriate disposal method for the ingredients listed in Section 2.
Dispose
of in accordance with all local, state and federal regulations. Dispose of at

cut weld, braze, solder, drill, grind or exposure empty containers to heat,
flame, sparks or other sources of ignition.
Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from all sources of ignition and out of direct sunlight. Ground all equipment to prevent accumulation of static charge. Keep containers tightly closed. Store away incompatible materials. Do not store in unlabeled or mislabeled containers.
