Potential Health Effects
----------------------------------
The toxicological properties of this material have not been investigated.
Inhalation:
No information found, but compound should be handled as a potential health
hazard. May cause irritation to the respiratory tract. Symptoms may include
coughing, sore throat, labored breathing, and chest pain.
Ingestion:
No information found, but compound should be handled as a potential health
hazard. May cause irritation to the gastrointestinal tract. Symptoms may
include nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Skin Contact:
No information found, but compound should be handled as a potential health
hazard. May cause irritation with redness and pain. May be absorbed through the
skin with possible systemic effects.
Eye Contact:
No information found, but compound should be handled as a potential health
hazard. May cause irritation, redness and pain.
Chronic Exposure:
High dietary cholesterol is considered dangerous to human health.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:
No information found.
4. First
Aid Measures
Inhalation:
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing
is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.
Ingestion:
Give large amounts of water to drink. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact:
Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while
removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse.
Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.
Eye Contact:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting
upper and lower eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention if irritation
persists.
5. Fire
Fighting Measures
Fire:
As with most organic solids, fire is possible at elevated temperatures or by
contact with an ignition source.
Explosion:
Fine dust dispersed in air in sufficient concentrations, and in the presence of
an ignition source is a potential dust explosion hazard.
Fire Extinguishing Media:
Water spray, dry chemical, alcohol foam, or carbon dioxide.
Special Information:
In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved
self-contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in the pressure
demand or other positive pressure mode.
6.
Accidental Release Measures
Remove all
sources of ignition. Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal
protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Spills: Clean up spills in a
manner that does not disperse dust into the air. Use non-sparking tools and
equipment. Reduce airborne dust and prevent scattering by moistening with
water. Pick up spill for recovery or disposal and place in a closed container.
7.
Handling and Storage
Keep in a
tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect
against physical damage. Containers of this material may be hazardous when
empty since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings
and precautions listed for the product.
8.
Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Airborne
Exposure Limits:
None established.
Ventilation System:
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee
exposures as low as possible. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred
because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source,
preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Please refer to the
ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices,
most recent edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):
For conditions of use where exposure to dust or mist is apparent and
engineering controls are not feasible, a particulate respirator (NIOSH type N95
or better filters) may be worn. If oil particles (e.g. lubricants, cutting
fluids, glycerine, etc.) are present, use a NIOSH type R or P filter. For
emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a
full-face positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air-purifying
respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Skin Protection:
Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing.
Eye Protection:
Use chemical safety goggles. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench
facilities in work area.
