Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid: INHALATION: If adverse effects occur, remove to
    uncontaminated area. Give artificial respiration if not breathing.
    If breathing is difficult, oxygen should be administered by
    qualified personnel. Get immediate medical attention. SKIN CONTACT:
    Wash skin with soap and water for at least 15 minutes while
    removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get immediate medical
    attention. Thoroughly clean and dry contaminated clothing and shoes
    before reuse. Destroy contaminated shoes. EYE CONTACT: Immediately
    flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Then get
    immediate medical attention. INGESTION: If a large amount is
    swallowed, get medical attention. NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: For
    inhalation, consider oxygen.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Extinguishing Media:regular dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water,
    regular foam Large fires: Use regular foam or flood with fine water
    spray.
Fire Fighting Procedures:Move container from fire area if it can be
    done without risk. Cool containers with water spray until well
    after the fire is out. Stay away from the ends of tanks. Withdraw
    immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety device or
    any discoloration of tanks due to fire. For tank, rail car or tank
    truck, evacuation radius: 800 meters (1/2 mile). Use extinguishing
    agents appropriate for surrounding fire. Cool containers with water
    spray until well after the fire is out. Apply water from a
    protected location or from a safe distance. Do not get water
    directly on material. Reduce vapors with water spray. Avoid
    inhalation of material or combustion by-products. Stay upwind and
    keep out of low areas. Consider downwind evacuation if material is
    leaking.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:Negligible fire hazard.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:Stop leak if possible without personal risk.
    Keep unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry.
    Stay upwind and keep out of low areas. Notify Local Emergency
    Planning Committee and State Emergency Response Commission for
    release greater than or equal to RQ (U.S. SARA Section 304). If
    release occurs in the U.S. and is reportable under CERCLA Section
    103, notify the National Response Center at (800)424-8802 (USA) or
    (202)426-2675 (USA).

Handling and Storage Precautions:Store and handle in accordance with
    all current regulations and standards. Keep separated from
    incompatible substances.
Other Precautions:

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:Under conditions of frequent use or heavy
    exposure, respiratory protection may be needed. Respiratory
    protection is ranked in order from minimum to maximum. Consider
    warning properties before use. Any supplied-air respirator with a
    full facepiece that is operated in a pressure-demand or other
    positive-pressure mode. Any self-contained breathing apparatus that
    has a full facepiece and is operated in a pressure-demand or other
    positive-pressure mode. For Unknown Concentrations or Immediately
    Dangerous to Life or Health - Any supplied-air respirator with full
    facepiece and operated in a pressure-demand or other
    positive-pressure mode in combination with a separate escape
    supply. Any self-contained breathing apparatus with a full
    facepiece.
Ventilation:Provide local exhaust or process enclosure ventilation
    system. Ensure compliance with applicable exposure limits.
Protective Gloves:Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves.
Eye Protection:Wear splash resistant safety goggles with a faceshield.
    Provide an emergency eye wash fountain and quick drench shower in
    the immediate work area.
Other Protective Equipment:Wear appropriate chemical resistant
    clothing.
