3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Potential Health Effects
Eye
May cause mild eye irritation.
Skin
Can cause skin irritation. Prolonged or repeated contact may dry
and crack the skin. Passage of this material into the body
through the skin is possible, but it is unlikely that this would
result in harmful effects during safe handling and use.
Swallowing
Swallowing small amounts of this material during normal handling
is not likely to cause harmful effects. Swallowing large amounts
may be harmful. This material can get into the lungs during
swallowing or vomiting. This results in lung inflammation and
other lung injury.
Inhalation
Breathing of dust, vapor, and/or mist is possible. Breathing
small amounts of this material during normal handling is not
likely to cause harmful effects. Breathing large amounts may be
harmful. Prolonged or repeated breathing of dust may result in
progressive and irreversible lung disease (fibrosis) which may
cause death from respiratory and/or heart failure. Symptoms
include coughing and difficult breathing which becomes worse with
physical activity.
Symptoms of Exposure
Signs and symptoms of exposure to this material through breathing,
swallowing, and/or passage of the material through the skin may
include: stomach or intestinal upset (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea)
thirst, irritation (nose, throat, airways), runny nose, cough,
central nervous system depression (dizziness, drowsiness,
weakness, fatigue, nausea, headache, unconsciousness), muscle
weakness, pain in the abdomen, lung edema (fluid buildup in the
lung tissue), kidney damage, liver damage, lung damage.
Target Organ Effects
Overexposure to this material (or its components) has been
suggested as a cause of the following effects in laboratory
animals, and may aggravate preexisting disorders of these organs
in humans: nasal damage, eye damage, kidney damage, liver damage,
lung damage.
Developmental Information
There are no data available for assessing risk to the fetus from
maternal exposure to this material.
Cancer Information
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and the
National Toxicology Program have determined that there is
sufficient evidence in humans for the carcinogenicity of inhaled
crystalline silica in the form of quartz or cristobalite. In
addition, IARC has determined that there is sufficient evidence
for the carcinogenicity of quartz and cristobalite in experimental
animals. Among individuals with silicosis, lung cancer occurs
more frequently in those who smoke.
Other Health Effects
Nitrites should not be added to this material because this can
result in formation of nitrosamines. Many nitrosamines cause
cancer in laboratory animals. There is some evidence that
breathing respirable crystalline silica or the disease silicosis
is associated with an increased incidence of significant disease
endpoints such as scleroderma (an immune system disorder
manifested by fibrosis of the lungs, skin and other internal
organs) and kidney disease.
Primary Route(s) of Entry
Inhalation, Skin absorption, Skin contact, Eye contact, Ingestion.

4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes
If symptoms develop, move individual away from exposure and into
fresh air. Flush eyes gently with water while holding eyelids
apart. If symptoms persist or there is any visual difficulty,
seek medical attention.
Skin
Remove contaminated clothing. Flush exposed area with large
amounts of water. If skin is damaged, seek immediate medical
attention. If skin is not damaged and symptoms persist, seek
medical attention. Launder clothing before reuse.
Swallowing
Seek medical attention. If individual is drowsy or unconscious,
do not give anything by mouth; place individual on the left side
with the head down. Contact a physician, medical facility, or
poison control center for advice about whether to induce vomiting.
If possible, do not leave individual unattended.
Inhalation
If symptoms develop, move individual away from exposure and into
fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention. If
breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. Keep person warm and
quiet; seek immediate medical attention.
Note to Physicians
This material is an aspiration hazard. Potential danger from
aspiration must be weighed against possible oral toxicity (See
Section 3 - Swallowing) when deciding whether to induce vomiting.
Preexisting disorders of the following organs ( or organ systems)
may be aggravated by exposure to this material: respiratory tract
skin, lung (for example, asthma-like conditions), liver, kidneys,
eye.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point
110.0 F (43.3 C) TCC
Explosive Limit
No data
Autoignition Temperature
No data
Hazardous Products of Combustion
May form: carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, silicon dioxide,
sulfur compounds, various hydrocarbons.
Fire and Explosion Hazards
Vapors are heavier than air and may travel along the ground or may
be moved by ventilation and ignited by pilot lights, other flames,
sparks, heaters, smoking, electric motors, static discharge, or
other ignition sources at locations distant from material handling
point. Never use welding or cutting torch on or near drum (even
empty) because product (even just residue) can ignite explosively.
Extinguishing Media
regular foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical.
Fire Fighting Instructions
Water may be used to keep fire-exposed containers cool until fire
is out. Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus with a full
facepiece operated in the positive pressure demand mode with
appropriate turn-out gear and chemical resistant personal
protective equipment. Refer to the personal protective equipment
section of this MSDS.
NFPA Rating
Health - 1, Flammability - 2, Reactivity - 0
__________________________________________________________________________
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Small Spill
Eliminate all sources of ignition such as flares, flames
(including pilot lights), and electrical sparks. Absorb liquid on
vermiculite, floor absorbent or other absorbent material. Persons
not wearing proper personal protective equipment should be
excluded from area of spill.
Large Spill
Prevent run-off to sewers, streams or other bodies of water. If
run-off occurs, notify proper authorities as required, that a
spill has occured. Persons not wearing protective equipment
should be excluded from area of spill until clean-up has been
completed. Eliminate all ignition sources (flares, flames,
including pilot lights,electrical sparks).

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling
Containers of this material may be hazardous when emptied. Since
emptied containers retain product residues (vapor, liquid, and/or
solid), all hazard precautions given in the data sheet must be
observed. All five gallon pails and larger metal containers
including tank cars and tank trucks should be grounded and/or
bonded when material is transferred. Avoid prolonged or repeated
contact. Warning. Sudden release of hot organic chemical vapors
or mists from process equipment operating at elevated temperature
and pressure, or sudden ingress of air into vacuum equipment, may
result in ignitions without the presence of obvious ignition
sources. Published "autoignition" or "ignition" temperature values
cannot be treated as safe operating temperatures in chemical
processes without analysis of the actual process conditions. Any
use of this product in elevated temperature processes should be
thoroughly evaluated to establish and maintain safe operating
conditions.
Storage
Do not store near extreme heat, open flame, or sources of
ignition.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Eye Protection
Chemical splash goggles in compliance with OSHA regulations are
advised; however, OSHA regulations also permit other type safety
glasses. Consult your safety representative.
Skin Protection
Wear resistant gloves (consult your safety equipment supplier).
To prevent repeated or prolonged skin contact, wear impervious
clothing and boots.
Respiratory Protections
If workplace exposure limit(s) of product or any component is
exceeded (See Exposure Guidelines), a NIOSH/MSHA approved air
supplied respirator is advised in absence of proper environmental
control. OSHA regulations also permit other NIOSH/MSHA
respirators (negative pressure type) under specified conditions
(consult your industrial hygienist). Engineering or
administrative controls should be implemented to reduce exposure.
Engineering Controls
Provide sufficient mechanical (general and/or local exhaust)
ventilation to maintain exposure below TLV(s).

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Chronic/Carcinogenicity
One study with morpholine in laboratory animals produced cancer,
while others have not. The tumors in the one study may have
resulted from exposure to N-nitrosomorpholine, an animal
carcinogen. N-nitrosomorpholine can occur as a contaminant in
morpholine or as a result of the interaction of morpholine with
nitrite of unknown origin. There is no evidence that morpholine
causes cancer in humans.
