<br /> SECTYON 6, -HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION ,&cont,
<br /> t gas is almost twice as dense as air itself(see sect.3) Medical Conditions Aggravated by Long-Term Exposure: None reported.
<br /> Organs: None reported Primary Entry: Inhalation.Acute Effects: Initial symptoms of the effects of simple asphyxiant
<br /> g rapid respiration and air hunger,diminished mental alertness,and impaired muscular coordination Continuing lack of oxygen
<br /> faultyJudgment,depression of all sensations,rapid fatigue.and emotional instability.As the asphyxia continues,nausea,vomit-
<br /> ,prostration,loss of consciousness,and,finally.convulsions;deep coma,and death can occur.Chronic Effects: None reported-
<br /> AID: Inhalation.Would-be rescuers need to be concerned about their own safety when entering confined.poorly ventilated,
<br /> oxygen-deficient areas Self-contained breathing equipment must be readily available for rescuers.Station standby workers outside the
<br /> late area so that they can summon additional help if it is needed Remove the exposed person to fresh air;restore and/or support
<br /> Ior her breathing as needed.Have qualified medical personnel administer oxygen as required..Comments: The extreme flammability
<br /> isobutylene gas warrants special attention even during rescue operations.Rescue personnel must not smoke.All emergency lamps and
<br /> floodlights that must be lowered into enclosed areas for rescue operations must be explosion proof Obtain this equipment before any
<br /> Versency occurs and make it accessible to emergency-response personnel Get medical help(in plant,paramedic,community)for
<br /> exposures.Seek prompt medical assistance for further treatment,observation,and support after tint aid.
<br />`SECTION 'M--SPILLS �LEAK;3,, AND 'DISPOSAU PROCEDURES ,-,'
<br /> rico
<br /> �p1/Leak:Treat any isobutykne gas leant as an emergency.If the leaking gas has not yet ignited,use water spray to direct flammable gas-
<br /> mixtures away from sources of ignition.Extinguish all sources of ignition as quickly as possible,however,if the leaking gas is burnin&
<br /> do not attempt to extinguish the flames until the source of the isobutylene gas is located and sealed.Otherwise.flammable rsobutylene gas-
<br /> mixtures can explode without warning and cause widespread damage that might not have occurred if the original fire had been allowed
<br /> burn itself out.If it is necessary to extinguish isobutylene flames in order to gam access to a shutoff valve,use dry chemical or carbon
<br /> aide as extinguishing agents.Waste Dlsposal: Contact your supplier or a licensed contractor for detailed recommendations.Follow
<br /> Federal,state,and local regulations.

<br />[SECTION FROTECTION,-INFORMATION
<br /> aspirator: Follow OSHA respirator regulations(29 CFR 1910 134) For emergency or nonroutine operations(leaks or cleaning reactor
<br /> Wssels and storage tanks),wear an SOBA Warning: Air-purifying respirators will not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres,
<br /> which lack warning properties,to work in them safely requires that an SOBA be worn.Ventilation: Install and operate general and local
<br /> Wsng
<br /> m explosion-proof ventilation systems powerful enough to maintain airborne level}of this material below the lower explosive limit
<br /> ection 4.Local exhaust ventilation is preferred because it prevents dispersion of the contaminant into the general work areaby
<br /> it at its source.Consult the latest edition of Genium reference 103 for detailed recommendations.Safety Stations: Make emer-
<br /> eney eyewash stations,safetylquick-drench showers,and washing facilities available in work area&.Contaminated Equipment: Contact
<br /> pose a special hazard;soft lenses may absorb imtan%and all lenses concentrate them,Do nor wear contact krises in any work arra.
<br /> mments: Practice good personal hygiene;always wash thoroughly after using this material and before eating,drinking,smokmg,using
<br /> the toilet,or applying cosmetics Keep it off your clothing and equipment.Avoid transferring it from your hands to your mouth while eating.
<br />&nking.or smoking.Do not eat,drink,or smoke in any work area.Do not inhale isobutylene vapor.
<br /> ECTION ,9. SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS AND COMMENTS —
<br /> Storage/Segregation:Store isobutylene in closed,pressurized containers in a cool,dry.well-ventilated area away from sources of ignition,
<br /> mbuengineering
<br /> strble materials,and strong oxidizers Protect containers from physical damage,Engineering Controls: Make sure all enginring
<br />=mtems(production,transportation)are of maximum explosion-proof design.Electrically ground and bond all containers,pipelines,etc.,
<br />%ed in shipping,transferring,reacting,production,and sampling operations to prevent static sparks Comments: ]sobutylene is an
<br /> extremely explosive and flammable gas It must not be exposed to any possible source of ignition in work or storage areas.
