SECTION 5 - HEALTH HAZARDS
====================================================================
THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUE: See Section 2
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE: EYE CONTACT: May cause pain. May
cause slight transient irritation with slight transient corneal injury. Vapors may irritate eyes;
SKIN CONTACT: Prolonged contact may cause irritation, defatting of skin; INHALATION:
Minimal anesthetic or narcotic effects may be seen in the range of 500-1000ppm; levels over
1000ppm can cause dizziness, drunkeness; concentrations in excess of 10,000ppm can cause
cardiac arrhythmias, unconsciousness and death; INGESTION: If aspirated (liquid enters the
lungs), it may be rapidly absorbed through the lungs and result in injury to other body systems.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: REPEATED AND PROLONGED OVEREXPOSURE TO SOLVENTS
MAY LEAD TO PERMANENT BRAIN AND NERVOUS SYSTEM DAMAGE. EYE WATERING,
HEADACHES, NAUSEA, DIZZINESS AND LOSS OF COORDINATION ARE SIGNS THAT
SOLVENT LEVELS ARE TOO HIGH. INTENTIONAL MISUSE BY DELIBERATELY
CONCENTRATING AND INHALING THE CONTENTS MAY BE HARMFUL OR FATAL.
CHEMICAL LISTED AS CARCINOGEN OR POTENTIAL CARCINOGEN:
NATIONAL TOXICOLOGY PROGRAM: See note below

OSHA: See note below
**NOTES ON METHYLENE CHLORIDE AND PROPYLENE OXIDE HEALTH
HAZARDS**
CANCER INFORMATION...For hazard communication purposes under OSHA Standard 19
CFR Part 1910.1200, Methylene Chloride and Propylene Oxide have been listed as potential
carcinogens by IARC and NTP. Methylene Chloride has been shown to increase the rate of
spontaneously occurring malignant tumors in one strain of laboratory mouse and benign tumors
in laboratory rats. Other animal studies, as well as several human epidemiology studies, failed to
show a tumorigenic response relatable to Methylene Chloride. Methylene Chloride is not
believed to pose a measurable carcinogenic risk to man when handled as recommended.
Lifetime inhalation studies in laboratory animals with propylene oxide suggest a weak
carcinogenic effect.
TERATOLOGY "BIRTH DEFECTS"...Birth defects are unlikely. Exposures having no
effect on the mother should have no effect on the fetus. Did not cause birth defects in animals.
Other effects were seen in the fetus only at doses which caused toxic effects to the mother.
-4-
REPRODUCTIVE EFFECTS...In animal studies, has been shown not to interfere with
reproduction.
MUTAGENICITY "EFFECTS ON GENETIC MATERIAL"...Negative or equivocal results
have been obtained using mamalian cells or animals. This is consistent with the lack of
interaction with DNA in rats and hamsters. Although results of Ames Bacterial Tests have
generally been positive, overall the data suggests that genotoxic potential does not appear to be a
significant factor in the toxicity of Methylene Chloride. Results of in-vitro "test tube"
mutagenicity studies with propylene oxide have been positive, results of most tests in animals
have been negative and some were positive.
OSHA PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMIT: See Section 2
ACGIH THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUE: See Section 2
OTHER EXPOSURE LIMIT USED: None
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give mouth-to-mouth. If breathing is
difficult, give oxygen. Do not give epinephrine or similar drugs. Call a physician. EYES:
Flush with flowing water immediately and continuously for 15 minutes. Consult medical
personnel. SKIN: Wash off in flowing water or shower. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting. Call a physician immediately. Do
not administer sympathomimetic drugs unless absolutely necessary. No specific antidote.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: BECAUSE RAPID ABSORPTION MAY OCCUR THROUGH LUNGS
IF ASPIRATED AND CAUSE SYSTEMIC EFFECTS, THE DECISION OF WHETHER TO
INDUCE VOMITING OR NOT SHOULD BE MADE BY AN ATTENDING PHYSICIAN. IF
LAVAGE IS PERFORMED, SUGGEST ENDOTRACHEAL AND/OR ESOPHAGEAL
CONTROL. DANAGER FROM LUNG ASPIRATION MUST BE WEIGHED AGAINST
TOXICITY WHEN CONSIDERING EMPTYING THE STOMACH. EXPOSURE MAY
INCREASE "MYOCARDIAL IRRITABILITY". DO NOT ADMINISTER SYMPATHOMIMETIC
DRUGS UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. NO SPECIFIC ANTIDOTE. SUPPORTIVE
CASE. TREATMENT BASED ON JUDGMENT OF THE PHYSICIAN IN RESPONSE TO
REACTIONS OF THE PATIENT.
BECAUSE OF A POSSIBLE INCREASED RISK OF ELICITING CARDIAC DYSRYTHMIAS,
CATECHOLAMINE DRUGS, SUCH AS EPINEPHRINE, SHOULD BE CONSIDERED ONLY
AS A LAST RESORT IN LIFE THREATENING EMERGENCIES.

SECTION 6 - SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
====================================================================
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: NIOSH or Bureau of Mines approved organic vapor-type
respirator is required in absence of proper environmental control.
VENTILATION:
LOCAL EXHAUST: To keep below TLV
MECHANICAL (General): To keep below TLV
SPECIAL: None
OTHER: None
PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Solvent resistant gloves - impervious gloves
EYE PROTECTION: Safety glasses or goggles
OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT: None reasonably foreseeable.
====================================================================
SECTION 7 - SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS AND SPILL/LEAK PROCEDURES
====================================================================
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE: Do not store above
120 deg. F. Avoid breathing vapors. Vapors are heavier than air and will collect in low areas.
Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS: Contents under pressure. Do not puncture or incinerate. STEPS
TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: SMALL SPILLS:
Remove ignition sources. Mop up, wipe up, or soak up immediately. Use proper protective
equipment. LARGE SPILLS: Evacuate area. Remove ignition sources. Contain liquid;
transfer to closed containers; keep out of water supplies.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHODS: Dispose in accordance with Federal, State, and Local
regulations. Do not incinerate closed or empty containers.
