3 - Hazards Identification
Special Indication of Hazards to Humans and the Environment
Highly flammable. Irritating to skin.
4 - First Aid Measures
After Inhalation
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
After Skin Contact
In case of contact, immediately wash skin with soap and copious amounts of water.
After Eye Contact
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes.
After Ingestion
If swallowed, wash out mouth with water provided person is conscious. Call a physician.
5 - Fire Fighting Measures
Extinguishing Media
Suitable
Carbon dioxide, dry c hemical powder, or appropriate foam.
Unsuitable
Water may be effective for cooling, but may not effect extinguishment.
Special Risks
Specific Hazard(s)
Flammable liquid. Vapor may travel considerable distance to source of ignition and flash back.
Explosion Hazards
Vapor may travel considerable distance to source of ignition and flash back. Container explosion may occur under fire conditions.
Special Protective Equipment for Firefighters
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and eyes.
Specific Method(s) of Fire Fighting
Use water spray to cool fire- exposed containers.
6 - Accidental Release Measures
Personal Precaution Procedures to be followed in Case of Leak or Spill
Evacuate area. Shut off all sources of ignition. Use nonsparking tools.

11 - Toxicological Information
RTECS Number: N/A
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure
Exposure can cause: Nausea. Vomiting. Dizziness. CNS depression. Aspiration or inhalation may cause chemical pneumonitis.
MTBE (methyl-tert- butyl ether) is reported to metabolize to tert- butyl alcohol and formaldehyde by microsomal demethylation
According to an article in Toxicology and Industrial Health, volume II, number 2, pages 119- 149, 1995; MTBE (methyl- tert-butyl
ether) should be considered a "potential human carcinogen" due to "an increase in leydig interstitial cell tumors of testes in male
rats" and an "increase in lymphomas, leukemias, and uterine sarcomas" in female rats. In another unpublished study MTBE was
shown to be carcinogenic due to "increased incidence of a rare type of kidney tumor" in male rats and an "increase in the incidence
of hepatocellular adenomas" in female mice. To the best of our knowledge, the chemical, physical, and toxicological properties
have not been thoroughly investigated.
Route of Exposure
Skin Contact
Causes skin irritation.
Skin Absorption
May be harmful if absorbed through the skin.
Eye Contact
May cause eye irritation.
Inhalation
May be harmful if inhaled. Material may be irritating to mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract.
Ingestion
May be harmful if swallowed.
Target Organ Information
Kidneys. Central nervous system.
