EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: clear green liquid. Flash Point: 23.9 deg C.
Warning! Causes severe eye irritation.
Flammable liquid and vapor. Causes respiratory tract
irritation. This substance has caused adverse reproductive and fetal
effects in humans. May cause central nervous system depression. May
cause liver, kidney and heart damage. Causes moderate skin
irritation.
Target Organs: Kidneys, heart, central nervous
system, liver.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes severe eye irritation. May cause painful sensitization to
light. May cause chemical conjunctivitis and corneal damage.
Skin:
Causes moderate skin irritation. May be absorbed through the skin.
May cause cyanosis of the extremities.
Ingestion:
May cause central nervous system depression, kidney damage, and
liver damage. May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea,
vomiting and diarrhea. May cause systemic toxicity with acidosis. 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:
Inhalation of high concentrations may cause central nervous system
effects characterized by nausea, headache, dizziness, unconsciousness
and coma. Causes respiratory tract irritation. May cause narcotic
effects in high concentration. Vapors may cause dizziness or
suffocation.
Chronic:
May cause reproductive and fetal effects. Laboratory experiments
have resulted in mutagenic effects. Animal studies have reported the
development of tumors. Prolonged exposure may cause liver, kidney,
and heart damage.
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.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing
before reuse.
Ingestion:
Call a poison control center. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting
unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by
mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively. Persons with skin or eye
disorders or liver, kidney, chronic respiratory diseases, or central
and peripheral nervous sytem diseases may be at increased risk from
exposure to this substance.
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
|
General Information:
Persons with skin or eye disorders or liver, kidney, chronic
respiratory diseases, or central and peripheral nervous sytem
diseases may be at increased risk from exposure to this substance. As
in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
protective gear. Vapors may form an explosive mixture with air.
Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Will burn
if involved in a fire. Flammable Liquid. Can release vapors that
form explosive mixtures at temperatures above the flashpoint. Use
water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Containers may
explode in the heat of a fire.
Extinguishing Media:
For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or
alcohol-resistant foam. For large fires, use water spray, fog, or
alcohol-resistant foam. Use water spray to cool fire-exposed
containers. Water may be ineffective. Do NOT use straight streams of
water.
Flash Point: 23.9 deg C ( 75.02 deg F)
Autoignition Temperature: Not available.
Explosion Limits, Lower:2.0 vol %
Upper: 12.0 vol%
NFPA Rating:
(estimated) Health: 1; Flammability: 3; 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. Remove all sources of ignition.
Use a spark-proof tool. Provide ventilation. A vapor suppressing
foam may be used to reduce vapors.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use only in a well-ventilated area. Ground and
bond containers when transferring material. Use spark-proof tools and
explosion proof equipment. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and
clothing. Empty containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or
vapor), and can be dangerous. Keep container tightly closed. Keep
away from heat, sparks and flame. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Do
not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose
empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames.
Storage:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Keep away from heat and
flame. Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a tightly closed
container. Keep from contact with oxidizing materials. Store in a
cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
Flammables-area. Do not store near perchlorates, peroxides, chromic
acid or nitric acid.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
|
Engineering Controls:
Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment. 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.

CAS# 64-17-5: When spilled on land it is apt to volatilize,
biodegrade, and leach into the ground water, but no data on the rates
of these processes could be found. Its fate in ground water is
unknown. When released into water it will volatilize and probably
biodegrade. It would not be expected to adsorb to sediment or
bioconcentrate in fish.
Environmental:
CAS# 64-17-5: When released to the atmosphere it will photodegrade in
hours (polluted urban atmosphere) to an estimated range of 4 to 6
days in less polluted areas. Rainout should be significant.
