SECTION 3 HEALTH INFORMATION & PROTECTION
E M ERG ENC Y O V ER VIE W:
Diphas e liquid with stron g ph eno l odo r.
POISON. CORROSIVE to eyes, skin, and respiratory tract. Rapidly absorbed through skin.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFEC TS:
EYE CONTACT:
Will cause burns to eyes on contact. High vapor concentrations may be irritating or corrosive.
SKIN CONTACT:
Will cause burns to skin on contact, but may be disguised by a loss in pain sensation. Rapidly absorbed through skin.
Systemic poisoning effects may follow. Discoloration of skin may occur.
INHALATION:
High vapor concentrations may cause burns respiratory tract, may cause headaches, dizziness, anesthesia, drowsiness,
unconsciousness, and other central nervous system effects. Exposure to excessive levels of methylene chloride may
impair the blood's ability to transport oxygen (carboxyhemoglobinemia) and may also cause irregular heartbeats (cardiac
arrhythmia). Other symptoms listed under ingestion may occur.
INGESTION:
Ingestion will cause burns to the digestive tract. Symptoms may include burning pain in mouth and throat, abdominal
pain, nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, muscular weakness, central nervous system effects, increase in heart rate,
irregular breathing, coma, and possibly death. Acute exposure is also associated with kidney and liver damage.
Ingestion of 1 gram of phenol has been lethal to humans. Small amounts of this liquid may be drawn into the lungs by
either swallowing or vomiting. This may cause severe and delayed health effects such as inflammation of the lungs,
infection of the bronchi, chemical pneumonia, and pulmonary edema.

CHRONIC:
Methylene chloride has produced lung and liver tumors in mice and mammary tumors in female rats in a two year
inhalation study. NTP lists methylene chloride as a potential carcinogen. IARC lists methylene chloride in Group 2B
(sufficient evidence in animals, insufficient evidence in humans). Industrial experience shows no increased incidences of
any cancer type in the worker population.
SYNERGISTIC MATERIALS:
Exposure to a combination of carbon monoxide and methylene chloride must be limited. Where the carbon monoxide
concentration equals its exposure limit, there should be no exposure to methylene chloride.
FIRST AID MEASURES:
IN C ASE O F C RE SO L AN D P HE NO L PO ISO NIN G, start first aid treatment immediately, then get medical
attention. People administering first aid should take precautions to avoid contact with cresol and phenol. A phenol antidote kit
(castor oil or other vegetable oil, polyethylene glycol 300) should be available in any phenol work area. Actions to be taken in
case of phenol poisoning should b planned and practiced before beginning work with phenol. Castor oil and or polyethylene
glycol can be given by a first responder before medical help arrives.
EYE CONTACT:
IMMEDIATELY flush eyes with large amounts of water. See physician immediately.
SKIN CONTACT:
IMMEDIATELY flush skin with large amounts of water while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. As soon as
possible, repeatedly apply polyethylene glycol to affected area. Destroy contaminated clothing and shoes. Flush skin
with water for at least 30 minutes. Avoid rubbing or wiping affected parts which would aggravate irritation and cause
product dispersion. Continue treatment until the burned area changes color from white to pink (this may take 20 minutes
or more). Continue polyethylene glycol treatment during transportation to hospital. If polyethylene glycol is not available,
use water. Get medical attention immediately.
INHALATION:
Remove person to fresh air. Administer oxygen or artificial respiration as needed. Call a physician immediately.
INGESTION:
If swallowed, give plenty of milk or water. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Call a physician immediately.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN:
Because rapid absorption of methylene chloride, cresol, and phenol may occur through lungs if aspirated and cause
systemic effects, the decision of whether to induce vomiting or not should be made by a physician. If lavage is
performed, suggest endotracheal and/or esophageal control. Danger from lung aspiration must be weighed against
toxicity when considering emptying the stomach. Suggested treatment of phenol and cresol ingestion is gastric lavage
using 40% aqueous Bacto-Peptone, milk or water until the phenolic odor is eliminated. Then give 15 to 50 cc castor or
vegetable oil. Debride necrotic skin. Monitor vital signs, fluid status, electrolytes, BUN, renal and hepatic function, and
electrocardiogram. Manage sedation, seizures, renal failure, and fluid electrolyte imbalances symptomatically as
indicated. Use of a 40% aqueous Bacto-Peptone, Exposure from methylene chloride may increase "myocardial
irritability." Do not administer sympathomimetic drugs unless absolutely necessary. Carboxyhemoglobinemia may
aggravate any preexisting condition sensitive to a decrease in available oxygen, such as chronic lung disease, coronary
artery disease or anemias.
WOR KPLACE EXPOSU RE CONTR OLS:
PERSONAL PROTECTION:
Splash proof goggles or face shield, solvent resistant gloves and outer garment MUST be worn when handling this
product.
VENTILATION:
Because of the toxicity of the materials in this product, respirators should be worn at all times around this product. For
enclosed areas, or where large amounts of the product are being used, the use of fans or other mechanical ventilation is
recommended to remove vapors. Use a half or full face piece organic vapor chemical cartridge or canister respirator
when concentrations exceed the permissible limits. Use self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) or full face piece
airline respirator with auxiliary SCBA operated in the pressure-demand mode for emergencies and for all work performed
in storage vessels, poorly ventilated rooms, and other confined areas. DO NOT SPRAY THIS PRODUCT.

FIRE FIGHTING:
Either allow fire to burn out under controlled conditions or extinguish with water, foam, or dry chemical.
Cool exposed containers with water spray. Use self contained breathing apparatus.
Contain fire run-off. Run-off may cause environmental damage.
HAZARD OUS CO MBUSTION PRO DUCTS:
Smoke, fumes, and oxides of carbon, hydrogen chloride, and possible traces of phosgene.
SECTION 5 SPILL CONTROL MEASURES
LAND SPILL:
For small spills, use absorbent material such as towels or absorbent powders. Put all materials into proper waste disposal
containers with lids tightly covered. For larger spills, dike spill, recover free liquid, and use absorbent material to dry area. Put
all materials into appropriate waste containers.
WATER SPILL:
THIS PRODUCT IS HEAVIER THAN WATER AND WILL SINK. Recovery may be difficult. Methylene chloride, cresol, and
phenol are listed in the Clean Water Act. Check with local environmental regulatory agencies for reporting requirements.
SECTION 6 HANDLING & STORAGE
ST OR AG E TEM PERA TU RE , oF: ambient. DO NOT STORE ABOVE 120 Deg. F.
GENERAL: Keep away from open flames, hot glowing surfaces, electric arcs, and other ignition sources. Do not store near
strong oxidants. Strong UV light (e.g., welding arcs) can cause significant phosgene to be generated. Vent off any internal
pressure in the drum by opening bung slowly. Keep face away when opening bung.
