Section 3 -- Hazards Identification
FLINN AT-A-GLANCE
Cloudy liquid; penetrating ether-like odor.
Health-3
Narcotic in high concentration. Slightly toxic by ingestion, inhalation and skin absorption. Possible
Flammability-1
carcinogen. Dichloromethane is metabolized in the body producing carbon monoxide which increases and
Reactivity-1
sustains carboxyhemoglobin levels in the blood, reducing the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood.
Exposure-3
Storage-0
0 is low hazard, 3 is high hazard
Section 4 -- First Aid Measures
Call a physician, seek medical attention for further treatment, observation and support after first aid.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air at once. If breathing has stopped give artificial respiration immediately.
Eye: Immediately flush with fresh water for 15 minutes.

Contains flammable liquids.
Fire Fighting Instructions: Use triclass, dry chemical fire extinguisher. Firefighters should wear PPE and None Established
SCBA with full facepiece operated in positive pressure mode.
Section 6 -- Accidental Release Measures
Restrict unprotected personnel from area. Sweep up, place in sealed bag or container and dispose. Ventilate area and wash spill site after material
pickup is complete. See Sections 8 and 13 for further information.
Section 7 -- Handling and Storage
