5. HEALTH HAZARD DATA:
Threshold Limit Value (TIV and PEL) 100ppm
Effects of over exposure: Liquid ?Prolong exposure can lead to mild irritation due to
"defatting". Only slightly toxic by ingestion.
Vapor ?Headache, nausea, vomiting, narcosis. Chronic
overexposure may cause liver and kidney damage.
First Aid Eye: Nonirritating. For eye contact flush with plenty of water for 15
minutes.
Skin: Wash exposed skin with soap and water. Launder clothing
contaminated with Nitromethane before reuse.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Call a physician, who may check for increased
methemoglobin content.
Ingestion: Induce vomiting by giving victim 2 glasses of water and placing
finger down the throat.

7. SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES:
Steps to be taken in case material is released or spilled:
Evacuate area and remove potential sources of spark or flame. Properly protected personnel may then attempt to
contain large spills and pump to salvage. Absorb unrecoverable spills with an inert sold such as sand or earth. Flush
area with water.
Disposal method:
For purposes of disposal, Nitromethane is classified by EPA as a hazardous waste. Undiluted material is EPA
Hazardous Waste Number D001 characteristic of ignitability. This material must be disposed of at a permitted
disposal facility, preferably by incineration. Check your local EPA regulations for proper disposal.
