<br /> explosion-proof ventilation. Limit accsss to spill area w necessam,personnel on) '. Remove leaking containcrt to safe
<br /> place if feasible. Cleanup personnel need pro=tion again; contact with liquid and inhalation of vapor(sec sect 8).
<br /> 1L'A4--r' 121SPOSAT : Absorb small spills with paper wwcl or vermiculite. Contain large spills and collect if feasible, or
<br /> absorb with vermiculite or sand. Plane waste solvent or absorbent into closed containers for disposal using nousparking

<br /> nonsparking and have an explosion-proof design. Exhaust hoods should have a face velocity of a: 1=1 100 ifm(linear feet
<br /> t per minute) and be designed to capmre heavy vapor. For emergency or nonroutine exposures when the TLS' may be excetcled
<br /> use as organic chemical cartridge respirator if concentration is less than 200 ppm and an approved canister gas mask or self- ,
<br /> i contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece if concentration is greater than 200 ppm.
