Chronic Health Effects:
CARCINOGENIC
EFFECTS: Not available. MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Mutagenic for mammalian somatic
cells. TERATOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available. DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Not
available. Repeated exposure to a highly toxic material may produce general
deterioration of health by an accumulation in one or many human organs.
Section
4: First Aid Measures Eye Contact:
Check
for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes
with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention.
Skin
Contact:In case of
contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water. Cover the irritated skin
with an emollient. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before
reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical attention.
Serious
Skin Contact:Wash with a
disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream.
Seek immediate medical attention.

Remarks on Fire Hazards: As
with most organic solids, fire is possible at elevated temperatures
Special
Remarks on Explosion Hazards:
Fine
dust dispersed in air in sufficient concentrations, and in the presence of an
ignition source is a potential dust explosion hazard.
Section
6: Accidental Release Measures Small Spill:
Use
appropriate tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal
container. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and
dispose of according to local and regional authority requirements.
Large
Spill:Poisonous solid.
Stop leak if without risk. Do not get water inside container. Do not touch
spilled material. Use water spray to reduce vapors. Prevent entry into sewers,
basements or confined areas; dike if needed. Eliminate all ignition sources.
Call for assistance on disposal. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the
contaminated surface and allow to evacuate through the sanitary system.
Section
7: Handling and Storage Precautions:
Keep
away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Ground all equipment
containing material. Do 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 oxidizing agents, alkalis.
Storage:
Keep container tightly
closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area.
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: Safety
glasses. Lab coat. Dust respirator. Be sure to use an approved/certified
respirator or equivalent. Gloves (impervious).
Personal
Protection in Case of a Large Spill: Splash
goggles. Full suit. Dust respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self contained breathing
