Section 3 - Hazards
Identification |
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance:
clear, colorless liquid. Cancer suspect agent. May cause liver and kidney
damage. Causes eye and skin irritation. Causes severe respiratory tract
irritation. May cause central nervous system effects. Danger! May be fatal
if inhaled, absorbed through the skin or swallowed. Aspiration hazard if
swallowed. Can enter lungs and cause damage.
Target Organs: Kidneys, central nervous system, liver.
Potential Health Effects
Eye: Causes eye irritation. Vapors cause eye irritation.
Skin: Causes skin irritation. May be absorbed through the skin
in harmful amounts. Contact with the skin defats the skin.
Ingestion: May cause liver and kidney damage. May cause
central nervous system depression, characterized by excitement, followed by
headache, dizziness, drowsiness, and nausea. Advanced stages may cause
collapse, unconsciousness, coma and possible death due to respiratory failure.
Substance is a hepatotoxin and is capable of producing a toxic effect on the
liver.
Inhalation: May cause liver and kidney damage. Exposure
produces central nervous system depression. May be harmful if inhaled.
Chronic: Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause
dermatitis. Chronic ingestion may cause effects similar to those of acute
ingestion. May cause liver and kidney damage. May cause cancer according to
animal studies. Chronic exposure may cause visual disturbances. Carbon
tetrachloride is a CNS depressant.
|
Section 4 - First Aid Measures |
Eyes: In case of contact, immediately
flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical aid.
Skin: In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty
of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and
shoes. Get medical aid immediately. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion: Potential for aspiration if swallowed. Get medical
aid immediately. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical
personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Inhalation: POISON material. If inhaled, get medical aid
immediately. Remove victim to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.
|
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
|
General Information: As in any fire, wear a
self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or
equivalent), and full protective gear. Material will not burn. Use water spray
to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Containers may explode in the heat of a
fire. Non-combustible, substance itself does not burn but may decompose upon
heating to produce corrosive and/or toxic fumes.
Extinguishing Media: Use extinguishing media most appropriate
for the surrounding fire.
Flash Point: Not applicable.
Autoignition Temperature: Not applicable.
Explosion Limits, Lower:Not available.
Upper: Not available.
NFPA Rating: (estimated) Health: 3; Flammability: 0;
Instability: 0
|
Section 6 - Accidental Release
Measures |
General Information: Use proper personal protective
equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks: Absorb spill with inert material (e.g.
vermiculite, sand or earth), then place in suitable container. Avoid runoff
into storm sewers and ditches which lead to waterways. Clean up spills
immediately, observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Isolate
area and deny entry. Provide ventilation.
|
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated
clothing and wash before reuse. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing.
Keep container tightly closed. Do not breathe vapor. Use only with adequate
ventilation.
Storage: Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool,
dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
|
Section 8 - Exposure Controls,
Personal Protection |
Engineering Controls: Facilities storing or utilizing this
material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use
adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations
below the permissible exposure limits. Use only under a chemical fume hood.
