SECTION V - HEALTH HAZARD DATA
PRIMARY ROUTES
OF ENTRY: X Inhalation X Skin Contact X Eye Contact X Ingestion
EFFECT OF OVEREXPOSURE
ACUTE:
Inhalation: Severe overexposure may result in nausea, dizziness, headache. May cause drowsiness, irritation of eyes and nasal passages.
Skin Contact: Prolonged contact causes irritation and defatting of the skin.
Eye Contact: Contact with eyes causes irritation and temporary corneal clouding.
Ingestion: May cause nausea, dizziness, gastric upset and vomiting.
CHRONIC: In animal studies in rats and mice, N-MP was embryotoxic by the oral and intraperitoneal routes at very high dose levels. In a dermal
exposure study with rats, N-MP was only embryotoxic at the high dose levels. This effect was attributed to maternal toxicity.

MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Not known.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES
Inhalation: If overcome by vapors, remove to fresh air and if breathing stopped, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call
physician.
Eye Contact: Flush eyes with flowing water for 15 minutes and call a physician.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash skin with soap and water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation develops, get
medical attention.
Ingestion: If swallowed, dilute with water. Immediately induce vomiting by sticking finger down victims throat. Call physician or poison control center
immediately.

SECTION VII - SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED
Eliminate all ignition sources. Avoid breathing of vapors. Keep liquid out of eyes. Flush with large amount of water. Contain liquid with sand or earth. Absorb with
sand or nonflammable absorbent material and transfer into steel drums for recovery or disposal. Prevent liquid from entering drains.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD
Follow local, State and Federal regulations. Incinerate or bury as a solid after absorption on cementation in a licensed facility. Do not discharge into
waterways or sewer systems.
SECTION VIII - SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION (Specify type)
If vapors or mists are generated, wear a NIOSH/MSHA approved organic vapor/mist respirator or an air supplied respirator as appropriate.
Use only SCBA for emergencies.
VENTILATION
Use only with adequate ventilation. Provide sufficient ventilation in volume and pattern to keep contaminants below applicable exposure limits set forth in Section II.
Use only explosion proof ventilation equipment.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES EYE PROTECTION
Butyl rubber or Fep teflon gloves Splashproof chemical goggles
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND HYGIENIC PRACTICES
Impervious apron, boots as necessary. A source of running water to flush or wash the eyes and skin in case of contact.
SECTION IX - SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING: All label precautions must be observed when handling and storing. Store in the shade between
40癋 - 110癋 (5癈 - 43.7癈). Keep away from heat, sparks, open flame and other sources of ignition. Avoid prolonged breathing of vapor. Use with adequate ventilation.
