SECTION III- HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
ROUTES OF ENTRY:
Inhalation and dermal are the primary routes of entry, although other avenues should be considered.
INHALATION:
Exposure to high doses may cause central nervous system (CNS) depression (anesthetic-like effects). Doses that
affect the CNS in this fashion may also cause adverse effects on the liver, lung, and kidney. Possible changes to
bone marrow. Symptoms of inhalation exposure may include: headache, dizziness, nausea, shortness of breath,
and irritation of the respiratory tract (nose, throat, and lungs) including sore throat and cough.
EYE
Eye irritant. Contact with eyes may cause discomfort and pain.
DERMAL
Product may cause mild irritation, rashes, defattening and possibly dermatitis. Problem may be accentuated by
trapping the liquid against the skin.
** Manufacturers of N-Propyl Bromide have set varying levels of exposure ranging from 25 to 100 ppm.
Preliminary test data suggests the final value may lie somewhere within this range. Neither EPA nor OSHA
has set exposure values for this material.

SECTION III- HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION
INGESTION:
May irritate the digestive tract Symptoms may include mild nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea. Low
order of Toxicity.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE:
Persons with pre-existing skin disorders, or impaired liver, kidney or pulmonary function disorders may be more
susceptible to certain components of this product.
GENERAL
Product may cause reproductive effects based on animal studies. Target organs include kidneys, CNS, liver, and
bone marrow. 1,3-Dioxolane is listed as a Mutagen.
SECTION IV - FIRST AID MEASURES
INHALATION:
Remove individual to fresh air. If breathing is difficult provide oxygen by a trained health care professional. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth. Consult a physician.
EYE:
Flush eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Contact physician if irritation persists.
SKIN CONTACT:
Thoroughly wash affected area with soap and water at least 15 minutes; consult physician if irritation persists or is
severe. Remove all contaminated clothing and launder prior to reuse. Properly discard all leather articles that are
soaked with product.
INGESTION:
Do NOT induce vomiting, seek medical attention. If unconscious or in convulsions take immediately to the
hospital. If conscious, give 1 pint of water. Never administer anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If
vomiting occurs spontaneously keep individual's head below their hips to prevent aspiration of material into the
lungs.
NOTE: consult a physician in all areas of exposure. First-aiders need to provide for their own safety before
attempting to provide assistance.
SECTION V -FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASH POINT: N/A FLAMMABLE LIMITS: LEL: N/D UEL: N/D
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
Dry chemical (BC or ABC), foam, or carbon dioxide.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES:
Firefighters should wear NIOSH/MSHA approved positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus for possible
exposure to toxic by-products of combustion as denoted in Section X. Protective gear may be needed to prevent skin
contact. Water may be used to keep containers cool.
UNUSUAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES:
Vapors of this product are heavier than air and can travel considerable distances. Product may form flammable
mixtures with air in some cases. Toxic and corrosive gases can be generated if exposed to a source of ignition or
high temperatures. NFPA rates N-Propyl Bromide as flammable (FP <75癋). Testing of similar DETRIDE products
using a Pensky-Martin apparatus did not produce ignition within the cup, indicating there is no flash

point. However, vapors at elevated temperatures did burn as long as an external source of ignition, such as an open
flame, was provided. Removal of the ignition source extinguished the flame.
SECTION VI - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Immediately evacuate the area and provide maximum ventilation. Shut off sources of ignition. Unprotected
personnel should move upwind of the spill. Only personnel equipped with proper respiratory and skin/eye protection
should be permitted in the area. Dike area to contain the spill. Take precautions as necessary to prevent
contamination of the ground and surface waters. Recover spilled material on absorbents, such as sawdust or
vermiculite, and sweep into closed containers for disposal. After all visible traces, including vapors, have been
removed, thoroughly wet vacuum the area. Do not flush to the sewer. If area is porous, remove as much earth and
gravel, etc., as necessary and place in closed containers for disposal.
SECTION VII -HANDLING AND STORAGE
? Wear PPE when handling this material. Wash exposed body areas with soap and water prior to
using lavatory facilities, consuming food or beverages or applying cosmetics.
? Ventilation must be sufficient to limit employees' exposure. Do not use in poorly ventilated or
confined spaces without proper respiratory protection.
? Do not eat, drink or smoke in work areas.
? Avoid contact with eyes and skin.
? Do not ingest.
? Do not use cutting or welding torches on containers that contained this product, unless, the
containers are properly purged and cleaned.
? Store in the original, closed, properly sealed and labeled container.
SECTION VIII -EXPOSURE CONTROLS/ PERSONAL PROTECTION
VENTILATION:
General ventilation is recommended to keep employees exposure to below established OSHA and recommended
manufacturer's limits.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
To limit employees' exposure, OSHA requires that the use of administrative or engineering controls must first be
developed and implemented whenever feasible (29CFRI910.1000 (e)). When controls are not feasible, and exposure
exceeds established limits, then protective equipment such as respirators are recommended. Use only OSHA/NIOSH
approved respirators according to the manufacturer's directions and OSHA requirements. Positive pressure, self-
contained units (i.e., SCBAs) are required whenever: there is insufficient oxygen, IDLH conditions exist, and when
determined necessary by surrounding environmental conditions.
EYE PROTECTION:
Splash proof goggles, face shields where splashing may be present. Eyewash should be available in areas where this
product is handled.
DERMAL PROTECTION:
Protect all exposed skin from liquid contact. Use chemically resistant gloves. Aprons and other protective
equipment should be used when there is a chance for splashing.

2B- The agent is possibly carcinogenic to humans. The exposure circumstance entails exposures that are possibly
carcinogenic to humans.
This category is generally used for agents for which there are limited evidence in humans in the absence of sufficient
evidence in experimental animals. It may also be used when there is inadequate evidence of carcinogenicity in experimental
animals. In some instances, an agent for which there is inadequate evidence or no data in humans, but limited evidence of
carcinogenicity in experimental animals together with supporting evidence from other relevant data, may be placed in this
group.
