Potential Health Effects
----------------------------------
Inhalation:
Not expected to be a health hazard under normal conditions.
Ingestion:
Large oral doses may cause irritation and blistering to the mouth, throat,
and abdomen. May also cause abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea.
Skin Contact:
No adverse effects expected on intact skin. Contact on burn or open skin
may cause stinging pain or irritation.
Eye Contact:
Causes irritation, redness, and pain.
Chronic Exposure:
No information found.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:
No information found.
4. First Aid Measures
Inhalation:
Not expected to require first aid measures.
Ingestion:
Give several glasses of water to drink to dilute. If large amounts were
swallowed, get medical advice.
Skin Contact:
Not expected to require first aid measures. Wash exposed area with soap and
water. Get medical advice if irritation develops.
Eye Contact:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention
immediately.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Fire:
Not considered to be a fire hazard. Concentrated hydrogen peroxide (30%) is a strong oxidizer, but this dilute product does not present that hazard.
Explosion:
Not considered to be an explosion hazard. Drying of concentrated hydrogen
peroxide on clothing or other combustible materials may cause fire or
explosion.
Fire Extinguishing Media:
Use any means suitable for extinguishing surrounding fire.
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
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective
equipment as specified in Section 8. Contain and recover liquid when
possible. Collect liquid in an appropriate container or absorb with an
inert material (e. g., vermiculite, dry sand, earth), and place in a
chemical waste container. Do not use combustible materials, such as saw
dust. Small amounts of residue may be flushed to sewer with plenty of
water.
7. Handling and Storage
Store in a cool, well-ventilated dark area. Protect from freezing. Isolate
from incompatible substances. Protect container from physical damage.
Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain
product residues (vapors, liquid); observe all warnings and precautions
listed for the product.
8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Airborne Exposure Limits:
-OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL):
1 ppm (TWA).
-ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV):
1 ppm (TWA), A3: Animal carcinogen.
Ventilation System:
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee
exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits. 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):
Not expected to require personal respirator usage. If the exposure limit is
exceeded, wear a supplied air, full-facepiece respirator, airlined hood, or
full-facepiece self-contained breathing apparatus. This substance has
unknown warning properties.
Skin Protection:
Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing.
Eye Protection:
Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing is
possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work
area.
