3 - Hazards Identification EMERGENCY
OVERVIEW Appearance:
slightly yellow. Warning! Harmful if swallowed. May cause eye and skin
irritation. May
cause respiratory and digestive tract irritation. May cause central nervous
system effects. Target
Organs: Central nervous system. Potential Health Effects Eye:
May cause eye irritation. Skin:
May cause skin irritation. Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea,
vomiting and diarrhea. May cause central nervous system effects such as
psychosis, hallucinations, depression, visual changes and mental changes. May
cause nausea, vomiting, and drowsiness. Inhalation:
May cause respiratory tract irritation. Chronic:
May cause cancer according to animal studies. Adverse reproductive
effects have been reported in animals. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Section
4 - First Aid Measures Eyes:
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally
lifting the upper and lower eyelids. If irritation develops, get medical aid. Skin:
Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while
removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if irritation
develops or persists. Wash clothing before reuse. Ingestion:
Get medical aid. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse
mouth and drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Inhalation:
Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give
artificial respiration. Get medical aid. Support breathing as needed. Do NOT
use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. 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.
During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal
decomposition or combustion. Extinguishing
Media: Use agent most appropriate to extinguish fire. Use water
spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or appropriate foam. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Section
6 - Accidental Release Measures General
Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in
Section 8. Spills/Leaks:
Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal
container. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective
Equipment section. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Provide ventilation. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Section
7 - Handling and Storage Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Use only in a well-ventilated area.
Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do
not breathe dust, vapor, mist, or gas. Keep container tightly closed. Storage:
Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Poison room locked. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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 explosion-proof ventilation to keep airborne levels to
acceptable levels. Exposure

Suspect carcinogen OSHA:
Possible Select carcinogen IARC:
Group 3 carcinogen Epidemiology:
Experimental tumorigenic data has been reported. Suspected carcinogen
with experimental carcinogenic, tumorig enic, and teratogenic data. Teratogenicity:
Teratogenic effects have occurred in experimental animals. Reproductive
Effects: Reproductive effects have occurred in experimental animals. Neurotoxicity:
No information available. Mutagenicity:
Mutagenic effects have occurred in experimental animals. Other
Studies: See actual entry in RTECS for complete information. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Section
12 - Ecological Information Ecotoxicity:
No data available. No information available. Environmental:
Terrestrial: Significant adsorption in soil can be predicted; however,
reserpine has a pKa of 6.6 which indicates that substantial ionization may
occur in moist soils. Aquatic: Absorbs UV light at environmental wavelengths
suggesting that direct photolysis may occur in water exposed to
sunlight.Atmospheric: Should exist almost entirely in the particulate phase in
the ambient atmosphere. Physical removal of particulate material may occur via
wet or dry deposition. Slight bioconcentration and biodegradation. Physical:
No information available. Other:

EXPOSURE DATA." ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Section
13 - Disposal Considerations Chemical
waste generators must determine whether a discarded chemical is classified as a
hazardous waste. US EPA guidelines for the classification determination are
listed in 40 CFR Parts 261.3. Additionally, waste generators must consult state
and local hazardous waste regulations to ensure complete and accurate
classification. RCRA
