REACTIVITY DATA <br /> • Stability: Stable <br /> • Incompatibility: Oxidizers, strong alkali <br /> • Hazardous Decomposition Products: <br /> . .As with any other organic material, combustion will produce carbon <br /> dioxide and probably carbon monoxide. <br /> • Hazardous Polymerization: will not occur. <br /> SECTION V1. TOXICITY AND HEALTH HAZARD DATA <br /> A. THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUE: See Section 11 <br /> B. EXPOSURE EFFECTS: <br /> Carcinogenicity Status <br /> Formaldehyde, a component of this photographic formulation. has been <br /> listed as a carcinogen or potential carcinogen for hazard communication <br /> purposes by: <br /> National Toxicology Program (Annual Report on Carcinogens) <br /> International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) Monographs <br /> The Health and Environment Laboratories of Eastman Kodak Company have <br /> reviewed data relating to the carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, and <br /> structure-activity considerations for formaldehyde. Based on this <br /> information and the negative results.of an epidemiologic investigation <br /> of Kodak photographic processors for mortality and cancer incidence, we <br /> believe that the recommended handling of this photographic processing <br /> chemical does not present a carcinogenic risk to humans.`-4-'-'0 <br /> Inhalation: Formaldehyde concentrations of 2-3 ppm in air cause <br /> discomfort as tingling sensations of the nose and upper <br /> respiratory tract; 10 ppm causes severe burning sensations <br /> of the nose and throat with coughing. Higher <br /> concentrations may cause chest constriction, headache, <br /> bronchopneumonia, dysphagia, edema, spasms of the larynx <br /> and dyspnea. <br /> Eyes: Contact with the liquid can cause severe eye burns. <br /> ® Vapor causes eye irritation and lachrymation. <br /> $kin: Causes skin irritation. <br /> Can cause an allergic skin reaction.
