on the assessment of the scientific data relevant to nPB and EnSolv mixtures.
3. Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview : EnSolv has no flash point and is non-flammable per OSHA and DOT regulations. However, vapors will form
a flammable mixture at a concentration of 3.8% to 9.5% by volume with air (ASTM E-681).
Potential Health Effects:
INHALATION: High concentrations are irritating to the respiratory tract and may cause headache, dizziness, nausea,
vomiting or narcosis. Chronic overexposure at high levels may cause adverse effects in the central
nervous system, reproductive system, respiratory system, kidney, and liver. Persons having pre-existing
diseases of the lungs, eyes or skin may have an increased susceptibility to the hazards of excessive
exposure.
OCULAR Irritant to eyes
DERMAL: Irritant. May de-fat skin and/or cause rash
INGESTION: Irritant to mouth, mucous membranes and gastro-intestinal tract.
4. First Aid Measures
INHALATION: Remove person to fresh air. Give oxygen if breathing is difficult. Apply CPR respiration if individual is
not breathing.
EYE: Flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes. Seek emergency medical attention.
SKIN: Wash contaminated areas with soap and water.
INGESTION: Drink large amounts of water. DO NOT induce vomiting. Seek emergency medical attention.

5. Fire Fighting Measures
FLASH POINT (Method): None (ASTM D-56 TCC)
None (ASTM D-92 COC)
None (ASTM D-93 TCC)
FLAMMABLE LIMITS: 3.8 to 9.5 % by volume in air (ASTM E-681)
AUTO-IGNITION TEMPERATURE: 900掳 F (482掳 C)
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Extinguishing media should be chosen based on surrounding conditions.
FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURE: Use NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus. Use water spray or
fog to cool exposed equipment and containers.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Do not weld or cut any drum with a torch that contained EnSolv because residual
vapors in the drum could be in the flammable range and an explosion could
occur. Thermal decomposition may produce carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide,
hydrogen halide and bromides.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Contain spillage or leakage with dikes or absorbent material to prevent migration into sewer or waterway. For large spills, evacuate
and ventilate the area. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and recommended personal protective equipment. Absorb with
earth, sand, or other non-combustible absorbent material and place in closed container for disposal.
7. Handling and Storage
HANDLING: Wear safety glasses. Use of gloves is recommended. Viton or Silvershield gloves offer the best extended protection.
Nitrile, neoprene or butyl gloves offer less protection and should be used for splash protection only. DO NOT use
natural rubber gloves when handling this product.
STORAGE: Store in well ventilated, cool, dry area. Keep container closed when not in use. Minimize introduction of water or
moisture into the product.
8. Exposure Controls and Personal Protection
EXPOSURE LIMITS: Enviro Tech International, Inc. recommends a workplace exposure guideline of 100 ppm
8 hour for the EnSolv mixture based on the assessment of the scientific data relevant to
nPB and EnSolv mixtures.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Use full face piece, NIOSH approved organic vapor respirator if ventilation is not
sufficient and if mists are generated.
CLOTHING/GLOVES: Wear safety glasses. Use of gloves is recommended. Viton or Silvershield gloves offer
the best extended protection. Nitrile, neoprene, or butyl gloves offer less protection and
should be used for splash protection only. DO NOT use natural rubber gloves when
handling this product.
EYE PROTECTION: Always wear safety goggles or full face shield.
WORK/HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Do not eat, drink, or smoke while working with this product. Launder soiled clothes.
Provide emergency eye bath and safety shower.

11. Toxicological Information
EnSolv
In human liver cell bioassays, EnSolv mixtures showed no effects to DNA or for altered enzyme function at all cell concentrations
tested and no effects for acute cytotoxicity at cell concentrations below 500 ppm. The addition of the EnSolv patented stabilizing
package to n propyl bromide showed the same results as neat n propyl bromide.
n propyl bromide
LD50 oral, rat: 4,260 mg/kg
LC50 inhalation, rat: 50,291 ppm / 30 min.; 14,374 ppm / 4 hr
In human liver cell bioassays, nPB showed no effects to DNA or for altered enzyme function at all cell concentrations tested and no
effects for acute cytotoxicity at cell concentrations below 500 ppm. nPB gave no adverse results in the Ames bacterial mutation study
using five strains of Salmonella typhimurium. Based on the results of three different developmental studies in rats, nPB is not
expected to be a developmental toxicant at recommended exposure levels. nPB was found to have caused reduced weight of the
epididymis and prostrate of male rats at an exposure equivalent to three and one half times the recommended workplace exposure level
and showed effects on sperm motility in rats at 500 ppm and above. NIOSH study of workers exposed to nPB or more for one year
found no adverse effects except for headaches reported in the highest exposure group. NPB is not listed as a carcinogen by NTP or
IARC.
Stabilizer Package
Nitromethane and 1,2 butylene oxide have been classified by the NTP and/or IARC (IARC 2B - possibly carcinogenic to humans).
Each compound individually comprises less than 0.6% by weight of the EnSolv mixture. At a 100 ppm 8 hr TWA workplace exposure
level, the exposure to each of these compounds is about 0.06 ppm or less, well under the OSHA PEL of 100 ppm set for
notromethane. No exposure level has been set for 1,2 butylene oxide.
12. Ecological Information
The Ozone Depletion Potential of n-propyl bromide has been determined to be in the range of 0.006 to 0.019.
