3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Clear, Blue Liquid . Ammonia Odor. Causes Eye and Skin Burns. May Cause Respiratory Tract Irritation.
Harmful if Swallowed, Inhaled or Absorbed Through Skin.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS (See Section 11 for Toxicological Information)
PRIMARY ROUTE(s) OF EXPOSURE: X Eye X Skin Contact X Skin Absorption
X Inhalation X Ingestion
EFFECTS OF ACUTE EXPOSURE
EYES: Causes eye burns. Symptoms may include pain, tearing, redness, and eye injury.
SKIN: Causes skin burns. Symptoms may include pain, redness, swelling, scarring, and skin damage. May be absorbed through
the skin and may cause effects as described under Inhalation (see below).
INHALATION: Harmful if inhaled. Symptoms may include coughing, chest discomfort, difficulty breathing and shortness of
breath. High concentrations of vapor or mist may cause nose, throat and respiratory tract irritation. Symptoms may include
coughing and a disagreeable metallic taste. High concentrations of vapor or mist may also cause central nervous system effects
including headache, dizziness and nausea.
INGESTION: Harmful if swallowed. May cause mouth, throat and stomach burns. Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting,

diarrhea, and severe stomach pain. May also cause central nervous system effects including headache, dizziness and
weakness.
EFFECTS OF CHRONIC EXPOSURE: Prolonged inhalation of high concentrations of ammonia above exposure limits (see Section
8, Exposure Controls/Personal Protection) can cause respiratory tract effects including bronchitis, pneumonia and pulmonary
edema.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED: May aggravate pre-existing eye, skin and respiratory conditions.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
EYES: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water while holding eyelids apart. After initial flushing, remove any contact lenses and
continue flushing for at least 15 minutes. Do not put any medication in the victim's eyes unless instructed by a physician. Get
immediate medical attention.
SKIN: Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, then wash with soap and water. Immediately remove
contaminated clothing. Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists. Thoroughly wash (or discard) clothing before reuse.
Destroy contaminated shoes.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give respiration; if breathing is difficult, give oxygen (by trained personnel
only). Get immediate medical attention.
INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting. Rinse mouth out with water. Drink large quantities of water. Get immediate medical attention.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASH POINT AND METHOD: > 93癈 (200癋)TCC
FLAMMABLE LIMITS: Not applicable.
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: Not applicable.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use water fog, dry chemical, CO2, or foam.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Normal products of combustion (carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide), nitrogen
oxides and ammonia.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: None known.
FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: Evacuate area. Cool containers exposed to fire with water. MSHA/NIOSH approved self-
contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full protective gear should be worn.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
See Section 8, Exposure Controls/Personal Protection and Section 3, Hazard Identification. Floors may be slippery. Use care to
avoid falling. Ventilate spill area. Contain and isolate spill. Keep non-essential personnel from entering spill area. Use mop and
absorbent to collect material for proper disposal. Use non-metallic implements for cleaning and collection. Rinse area with water.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING: Follow label use directions. Do not mix with other chemicals unless instructed by label directions. Loosen container
cautiously before opening. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing vapor or mist.
Wash thoroughly after handling. Immediately remove contaminated clothing. Wash clothing and equipment before reuse. Destroy
contaminated shoes. Empty containers retain residue and may be hazardous (See Section 14, Transport Information.).
STORAGE: Keep container closed when not in use. Store away from incompatible materials. (See Section 10, Stability and
Reactivity).
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)
Page 2 of 5
3 GLISTEN Glass and Surface Cleaner Concentrate
EYE: Where eye contact is possible, wear chemical splash goggles (ANSI Z87.1-approved).
SKIN: Where skin contact is possible, chemical-resistant gloves should be worn. When additional skin contact is possible, other
protective equipment and clothing (e.g., footwear) may be needed. All contaminated clothing should be removed immediately
and cleaned (or discarded) before reuse.
RESPIRATORY: No respiratory protection is required if general room ventilation is adequate and airborne concentrations are
kept below exposure limits. When exposure limits are exceeded, use appropriate respiratory protection (NIOSH/MSHA) to
prevent overexposure.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Good general room ventilation is expected to be adequate. Local exhaust ventilation (e.g., fans) may
be necessary when general ventilation does not keep airborne concentrations below exposure limits.
