EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: Colorless
Caution! Causes severe eye and skin irritation. May cause blindness.
Target Organs: None known.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause severe eye irritation. May cause blindness.
Skin:
Rapidly absorbed, produces painless erythema, sweating, thirst, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stupor, excitation,
cyanosis, hypotension, collapse, coma, convulsions, hemolysis, pulmonary edema; death can occur
from respiratory failure. Liver and kidney damage results in jaundice, oliguria, anuria.
Material Safety Data Sheet
Phenol standard 1ml=1mg APHA
Ingestion:
Can burn mouth and throat; causes profuse sweating, intense thirst, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, cyanosis, hypotension,
pain, convulsions, coma. Jaundice, oliguria/anuria indicate liver and kidney damage. 1 gram may be a fatal adult dose.
Inhalation:
Although volatility is low (thus low industrial hazard), IDLH level is only 100ppm. Vapors may irritate the nose,
throat, produce coughing with toxic amounts producing vomiting, coma, convulsions.
Chronic:
Repeated or prolonged contact with liquid or vapors produces acute symptoms; see also
mutagenic/tumorgenic/reproductive effects (RTECS). Prolonged absorbtion has produced anorexia, weight loss,
weakness, aching muscles, pain, dark urine. Eyes may show grey discoloration of sclera, conjunctivitis.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
Eyes:
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids until no evidence
of chemical remains. Get medical aid at once.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing
contaminated clothing and shoes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes.
Ingestion:
Get medical aid at once. Give 1 ounce of milk of magnesia. Give oxygen if respiration is depressed. Induce vomiting
(touch finger to back of throat) keeping head lower than hips (prevent aspiration into lungs).
Inhalation:
Give artificial respiration if necessary. Get medical aid. Keep victim warm, at rest. Move victim to fresh air.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
General Information:
Negligible fire and explosion hazard when exposed to heat or flame. Yields flammable vapors when heated that can
form explosive mixtures
with air above 174癋. Avoid skin contact, wear protective equipment, avoid dusts and vapors. Phenol is a moderate
hazard when exposed to heat, flame, oxidizers, incompatible materials.
Extinguishing Media:
For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or alcohol-resistant foam.
Autoignition Temperature:
No information found.
Flash Point:
No information found.
NFPA Rating:

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
General Information:
Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Absorb spills with absorbent (vermiculite, sand, fuller's earth) and place in plastic bags for later disposal. Keep out of
sewers/drains.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
Handling:
Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid unnecessary contact.
Storage:
Store capped at room temperature. Keep away from heat and incompatible substances.
