SECTION IV - Fire and Explosion Hazard Data (cont.)
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Potentially hazardous in severe fire.
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Heat from fire may cause decomposition with evolution of toxic and
irritating fumes. If water is used as an extinguishing media, diking is required to keep contaminated water out of
all water supplies.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: None.
SECTION V - Reactivity Data
Stability: This is a stable material.
Conditions to avoid: None known.
Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid): None known.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Aromatic decomposition products: Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide, Water.
Hazardous Polymerization: Does not occur. Conditions to avoid: None known.
SECTION VI - Health Hazard Data
Routes of Entry: Inhalation? No.
Skin? No.
Ingestion? Yes.
Health Hazards (Acute and Chronic): Inhibition of formation of prothrombin and reduction of clotting of blood. Acute
Oral LD50 = 7 mg/kg for Diphacinone Technical at 98% Active Ingredient. (Equivalent to >100,000 mg/kg of Ramik
Brown)
Carcinogenicity: NTP? Saccharin is a candidate chemical.
IARC Monographs? Saccharin is a candidate chemical.
OSHA Regulated? No.
Saccharin has been determined to cause cancer in laboratory animals.
Signs and symptoms of exposure: Normal reaction to anticoagulant, i.e. nose bleeding, bleeding gums.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: Bleeding and other conditions which may be aggravated by
extended clotting time.
Emergency and First Aid Procedures: INGESTION: Give patient one or two glasses of water and induce vomiting by
touching back of the throat with a finger or blunt object. Repeat until vomit fluid is clear. DO NOT induce vomiting
or give anything by mouth to unconscious persons. Call Physician or Poison Control Centre immediately. Vitamin
K1 in the form of intravenous, intramuscular or subcutaneous injections, or by oral ingestion are suggested
remedial treatments for anticoagulant poisoning. The severity of the case measured by establishing prolonged
prothrombin times (P.T.) will determine appropriate therapy. Monitoring P.T. will indicate the necessity of
repeated treatments.
SECTION VII - Precautions for Safe Handling and Use
Steps to Be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled: Sweep up, place in container and seal.
Waste Disposal Method: If these wastes cannot be disposed of by use according to label instructions, contact your
