Aspiration pneumonitis will be indicated by coughing, labored <br />breathing and cyanosis (bluish skin); in severe cases, death may occur. Kidney damage may <br />be evidenced by changes in urine output, urine appearance or edema (swelling from fluid <br />retention). Liver damage may be evidenced by loss of appetite, jaundice (yellowish skin <br />color) and sometimes pain in the upper right abdomen. <br />RECOMMENDATIONS TO PHYSICIAN: Keep victims head below hips to prevent aspiration. <br />If systems such as loss of gag reflex, convulsions or unconsciousness occur before emesis, <br />gastric lavage should be considered. <br />SECTION VI -REACTIVITY DATA <br />STABILITY: Stable: X Unstable: <br />Conditions To Avoid: Oxidizing materials, heat, sparks and open flame. <br />HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION OR BY-PRODUCTS: Carbon monoxide and other unidentified <br />organic compounds can be formed upon combustion. <br />HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: May Occur: Will not Occur: X <br />SECTION VII - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE <br />' PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE: Keep away from oxidizing <br />materials, sparks, heat, and open flame. Provide adequate ventilation. Vapors may <br />accumulate and travel to distant ignition sources resulting in a flash fire. Empty containers <br />may contain enough vapors to cause an explosion. Never cut, drill, grind, weld or perform <br />similar operations on or near containers. <br />' STEPS TO BE TAKEN IF MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: In case of a spill or leak, <br />protect from ignition. Contain spill immediately in smallest area possible. Recover as much <br />of the product as possible by such methods as vacuuming, use of absorbent pads or other <br />absorbent material. Use explosion -proof equipment. Remove contaminated items including <br />contaminated soil and place in a proper container for disposal. PG&E employees should <br />contact their local environmental coordinator. Non PG&E personnel should contact a <br />hazardous waste management firm. <br />t WASTE DISPOSAL PROCEDURES: PG&E employees should contact their environmental <br />coordinator. Non -PG&E employees should contact a hazardous waste management firm. <br />SECTION VIII - EMPLOYEE PROTECTION INFORMATION <br />' VENTILATION AND ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Storage and use areas should be well <br />ventilated. Use explosion -proof ventilation to control vapor concentrations to below the LEL. <br />' cca09-23-92/8787a.51/cp31 A-10 <br />
