| Hazards and Protection. | |
| Storage | Keep in well ventilated area. |
| Handling | All chemicals should be considered hazardous. Avoid direct physical contact. Use appropriate, approved safety equipment. Untrained individuals should not handle this chemical or its container. Handling should occur in a chemical fume hood. |
| Protection | Wear appropriate protective gloves, clothing and goggles. |
| Respirators | Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). |
| Small spills/leaks | Keep sparks, flames, and other sources of ignition away. Keep material out of water sources and sewers. Build dikes to contain flow as necessary. Use water spray to knock-down vapors. Neutralize spilled material with crushed limestone, soda ash, or lime. Land spill: Dig a pit, pond, lagoon, holding area to contain liquid or solid material. Dike surface flow using soil, sand bags, foamed polyurethane, or foamed concrete. Absorb bulk liquid with fly ash, cement powder, or commercial sorbents. Water spill: Use natural deep water pockets, excavated lagoons, or sand bag barriers to trap material at bottom. If dissolved, in region of 10 ppm or greater concentration, apply activated carbon at ten times the spilled amount. Remove trapped material with suction hoses. Use mechanical dredges or lifts to remove immobilized masses of pollutants and precipitates. |
| Stability | Stable in dry form. |
| Incompatibilities | Reacts in this way with all bases, both organic (for example, the amines) and inorganic Can react with active metals to form gaseous hydrogen and a metal salt Flammable and/or toxic gases and heat are generated by the reaction with with diazo compounds, dithiocarbamates, isocyanates, mercaptans, nitrides, and sulfides. |
| Fire. | ||||
| Flash Point,°C | >110 | |||
| Fire fighting | Extinguish fire using agent suitable for type of surrounding fire. (Material itself does not burn or burns with difficulty.) Cool all affected containers with flooding quantities of water. Apply water from as far a distance as possible. Use water spray to knock-down vapors. | |||
| Fire potential | This material is combustible. | |||
| Hazards | Irritating fumes of hydrochloric acid may form in fire. Volatilizes with steam. | |||
| Combustion products | Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. | |||
| Health. | |
| Exposure limit(s) | NIOSH REL: TWA 1 ppm (6 mg/m3) |
| Exposure effects | CNS excitation, seizures, tremor, ataxia, agitation, nervousness, and amnesia may occur. Kelthane, perthane, methoxychlor, and hexachlorobenzene have little CNS toxicity; in extreme overdose CNS depression may occur. Organochlorine pesticides such as DDT pass through the placenta, with an average level in the newborn blood reaching around a third of that in maternal blood. They can also be found in breast milk. Excessive absorption of kepone (chlordecone) has depressed sperm counts and sperm motility in exposed workers. |
| Ingestion | Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may follow ingestion. |
| Inhalation | Aspiration of insecticide containing petroleum distillate may result in pneumonitis. |
| Skin | Extensive contact results in dermal irritation. |
| Eyes | See Inhalation. |
First aid |
|
| Ingestion | Seek medical assistance. |
| Inhalation | Move victim to fresh air. Apply artificial respiration if victim is not breathing. Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim ingested or inhaled the substance; induce artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device. Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. |
| Skin | Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin and hair thoroughly; do two soap and water washings. Leather absorbs pesticides. Hence, leather should not be worn in the presence of pesticides and all contaminated leather should be discarded. |
| Eyes | Irrigate exposed eyes with copious amounts of tepid water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation, pain, swelling, lacrimation, or photophobia persist, the patient should be seen in a health care facility. |
