Section 3 - Hazards Identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: not available solid.
Warning! Contains formaldehyde which can cause
cancer. May cause allergic respiratory and skin reaction. Causes eye,
skin, and respiratory tract irritation. May cause central nervous
system depression. May cause kidney damage. May cause fetal effects
based upon animal studies. Cannot be made non-poisonous.
Target Organs: Kidneys, central nervous system,
liver, respiratory system.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation.
Ingestion:
May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea. May cause central nervous system depression, characterized
by excitement, followed by headache, dizziness, drowsiness, and
nausea. Advanced stages may cause collapse, unconsciousness, coma
and possible death due to respiratory failure.
Inhalation:
Causes respiratory tract irritation.
Chronic:
Contains formaldehyde which can cause cancer in humans. There is
sufficient evidence that formaldehyde causes nasopharyngeal cancer in
humans, a rare cancer in developed countries. There is limited
evidence that formaldehyde causes cancer of the nasal cavity and
paranasal sinuses and strong but not sufficient evidence for
leukemia.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
|
Eyes:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid imme
diately.
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes. Discard contaminated clothing in a manner which limits
further exposure.
Ingestion:
If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical
aid immediately.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
|
General Information:
Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent contact with skin
and eyes. Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) to
prevent contact with thermal decomposition products.
Extinguishing Media:
For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or
alcohol-resistant foam.
Flash Point: Not applicable.
Autoignition Temperature: Not applicable.
Explosion Limits, Lower:Not available.
Upper: Not available.
NFPA Rating:
(estimated) Health: 2; Flammability: 1; Instability: 0
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
|
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth),
then place in suitable container. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and
ditches which lead to waterways. Clean up spills immediately,
observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Provide
ventilation.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid
ingestion and inhalation. Use only with adequate ventilation.
Storage:
Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
|
Engineering Controls:
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped
with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate general or
local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the
permissible exposure limits. See 29CFR 1910.1048 for regulatory
requirements pertaining to all occupational exposures to
formaldehyde, i.e., from formaldehyde gas, its solutions, and
materials that release formaldehyde.
