Headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, gastrointestinal irritation, central
nervous system depression.
Skin Contact:

4. First Aid Measures
Inhalation:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Prompt action is
essential.
Ingestion:
Induce vomiting immediately as directed by medical personnel. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact:
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash
clothing before re-use.
Eye Contact:
In case of eye contact, immediately flush with plenty of water for at least
15 minutes.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Fire:
Flash point: 39C (102F) CC
Explosion:
Vapors may flow along surfaces to distant ignition sources and flash back.
Closed containers exposed to heat may explode. Contact with strong
oxidizers may cause fire. Sensitive to static discharge.
Fire Extinguishing Media:
Use alcohol foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide. (Water may be
ineffective.)
Special Information:
Firefighters should wear proper protective equipment and self-contained
breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in positive pressure mode.
Move exposed containers from fire area if it can be done without risk. Use
water to keep fire-exposed containers cool.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. Shut
off ignition sources; no flares, smoking or flames in area. Stop leak if
you can do so without risk. Use water spray to reduce vapors. Take up
with sand or other non-combustible absorbent material and place into
container for later disposal. Flush area with water.
J. T. Baker SOLUSORB(tm) solvent adsorbent is recommended for
spills of this product.
7. Handling and Storage
Keep container tightly closed. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated,
flammable liquid storage area or cabinet. Do not store near oxidizing
materials. Bond and ground containers when transferring liquid. Containers
of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product
residues (vapors, liquid); observe all warnings and precautions listed for
the product.
8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Airborne Exposure Limits:
-ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV):
50 ppm (TWA)
Ventilation System:
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee
exposures below the Airborne
Exposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because
it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing
dispersion of it into the general work area. Please refer to the ACGIH
document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices,
most recent edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):
For conditions of use where exposure to the substance is apparent, consult
an industrial hygienist. For emergencies, or instances where the exposure
levels are not known, use a full-facepiece positive-pressure, air-supplied
respirator. WARNING: Air purifying respirators do not protect workers in
oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Skin Protection:
Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat,
apron or coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
Eye Protection:
Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing is
possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work
area.
