HAZARD
IDENTIFICATION
==============================================================================
Route Of Entry Inds - Inhalation: YES Skin: NO Ingestion: YES
Carcinogenicity Inds - NTP: YES IARC: YES OSHA: YES
Health Hazards Acute And Chronic: INHAL OF VAPORS MAY CAUSE HEADACHE, NAUSEA,
DIZZINESS, FATIGUE AND WEAKNESS IN ARMS AND LEGS. CHRONIC EFFECTS OF
OVEREXPOSURE MAY INCLUDE KIDNEY AND/OR LIVER DAMAGE. IRREVERSIBLE INJURY TO
BLOOD FORMING TISSUE MAY RESULT FROM CHRONIC LOW LE VEL EXPOSURE. INHALATION OF
BENZENE MAY CAUSE APLASTIC ANEMIA.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity: BENZENE: (IARC) GROUP 1, (NTP) GROUP 1, (ACGIH)
GROUP A2, OSHA REGULATED.
Signs and Symptoms of Overexposure: SEE HEALTH HAZARDS.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Overexposure: NONE IDENTIFIED.
==============================================================================
FIRST AID
==============================================================================
CALL A PHYSICIAN. INGEST: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING; IF CONSCIOUS, GIVE WATER,
MILK OR MILK OF MAGNESIA. INHAL: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE
ARTF RESP. IF BRTHG IS DIFFICULT, GIVE O2. EYE/SKIN: IMMED FLUSH EYES OR SKIN
WITH PLEN TY OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MIN.
==============================================================================
FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
==============================================================================
Flash Point Text: 12F,-11C
Auto Ignition Temperature Text:
Lower Limits: 1 % Upper Limits: 7 %
Extinguishing Media: USE ALCOHOL FOAM, DRY CHEMICAL OR CARBON DIOXIDE. (WATER
MAY BE INEFFECTIVE)
Fire Fighting Procedures: WEAR NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED SCBA AND FULL PROT EQUIP (FP
N). MOVE CNTNRS FROM FIRE AREA IF CAN BE DONE WITHOUT RISK. USE H2O TO KEEP
FIRE-EXPOSED CNTNRS COOL.
Unusal Fire/Explosion Hazard: VAPORS MAY FLOW ALONG SURFACE TO DISTANT IGNIT
SOURCES AND FLASH BACK. CLOSED CNTNRS EXPOSED TO HEAT MAY EXPLODE. CONTACT WITH
STRONG OXIDIZERS MAY CAUSE FIRE.
==============================================================================
RELEASE MEASURES
==============================================================================
Spill Release Procedures: WEAR NIOSH/MSHA APPRVD SCBA & FULL PROT CLTHG.
SHUT OFF IGNIT SOURCES; NO FLARES, SMOKING/FLAMES IN AREA. STOP LEAK IF POSS
WITHOUT RISK. USE H2O SPRAY TO REDUCE VAPS. TAKE UP W/SAND/OTHER NON-COMBUST
ABSORB MATL & PLACE INTO CNTNR FOR (SUP P DATA)
Neutralizing Agent: NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
Waste Disposal Methods: DISPOSE IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE FEDERAL,
STATE AND LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS. EPA HAZ WAST # U019. (TOXIC WASTE).
==============================================================================
HANDLING AND STORAGE
