4. First Aid Measures
INGESTION: If accidently swallowed, dilute by drinking large
quantities of water. Immediately contact poison control
center or hospital emergency room for any other
additional treatment directions.
INHALATION: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing,
give artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth.
Call a physician.
SKIN: Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least
15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and
shoes. Call a physician. Wash clothing and shoes before
reuse.
EYES: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes. Eyelids should be held apart during
irrigation to insure water contact with entire surface of
eyes and lids. Call a physician.

entry into natural bodies of water.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. Handling and Storage
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7.1 Handling
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety
practices. These practices include avoiding unnecessary exposure and
removal of the material from eyes, skin and clothing.
Wash thoroughly after handling.
INHALATION: Avoid breathing vapor. Use with adequate
ventilation.
SKIN: Do not get on skin or on clothing.
EYES: Do not get in eyes.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7.2 Storage
Store in a cool, dry place.
Keep containers tightly closed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8.1 Exposure Controls
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: The following exposure control techniques may
be used to effectively minimize employee exposure: local exhaust
ventilation, enclosed system design, process isolation and remote
control in combination with appropriate use of personal protective
equipment and prudent work practices. These techniques may not
necessarily address all issues pertaining to your operations. We,
therefore, recommend that you consult with experts of your choice to
determine whether or not your programs are adequate.
If airborne contaminants are generated when the material is heated or
handled, sufficient ventilation in volume and air flow patterns should
be provided to keep air contaminant concentration levels below
acceptable criteria.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8.2 Personal Protection
Wear synthetic apron and boots if contact is likely. Where air
contaminants can exceed acceptable criteria, use NIOSH/MSHA approved
respiratory protection equipment. Respirators should be selected
based on the form and concentration of contaminants in air in
accordance with OSHA laws and regulations or other applicable
standards or guidelines, including ANSI standards regarding
respiratory protection. Use goggles and face shield if contact is
likely. Wear impervious gloves as required to prevent skin contact.
