NFPA HAZARD 1 FIRE:Material that must be preheated before ignition can occur.
RATING 0 HEALTH: Materials that on exposure under fire conditions would offer no
hazard beyond that of ordinary combustible material.
0 REACTIV ITY: Materials that in themselves are normally stable, even under fire
exposure conditions, and which are not reactive with water.
HEALTH HAZARD Overexposure to chemical ingredients is not likely to cause
EFFECTS OF
significant INFORMATION acute toxic effects. The acute oral (rat) and acute dermal
OVEREXPOSURE:
(rabbit)LD50 values are greater than 5 g/kg for the luminescer, activator,
fresh mixture, and spent mixture. Upon accidental eye exposure,
material should be immediately rinsed from the eyes. No significant skin
irritation was observed during animal testing.

FIRST AID In case of eye contact, immediately irrigate with plenty of water for 15
minutes. Obtain medical attention if irritation persists.
EXPOSURE Engineering controls are not usually necessary if good hygiene practices
CONTROL METHODS are followed. Before eating, drinking, or smoking, wash face and hands
thoroughly with soap and water. Avoid unnecessary skin contact.
Impervious gloves are recommended to prevent prolonged skin contact. For
operations where eye or face contact can occur, eye protection is recommended.
Where exposures are below the Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL), no
respiratory protection is required. Where exposures exceed the PEL, use
respirator approved by NIOSH for the material and level of exposure. See "GUIDE
TO INDUSTRIAL RESPIRATORY PROTECTION" (NIOSH).

ENVIRONMENTAL Wastes that are classified as hazardous waste are potentially subject to the RCRA
INFORMATION Land Disposal Restrictions. The Land Disposal Restriction regulations are contained in
40 CFR 268. Only waste which meet the regulatory definition of a hazardous waste are subject to
the land disposal restrictions.
Activated light sticks do not meet the definition of a Characteristic Hazardous Waste and therefore,
under the regulations, can be disposed of as a solid waste in solid waste landfills and incinerators
unless prohibited by site-specific solid waste facility restriction.
