' No 664 TETR AETHYL LEAD 8188
<br /> SECTION 6. HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION
<br /> ' Tetraethvl lead is not listed as a carcinogen by the NTP,IARC,or OSHA
<br /> Suinmary of Risks, Warning Tetraethyl lead penetrates intact skin Dangerous amounts of this material may be absorbed through
<br /> unbroken skin even when the airorne concentrations of it are below the exposure limits cited in section 2 Tetraethyl lead affects the
<br /> central nervous system(CNS)with symptoms such as psychosis,manta,convulsions,etc The onset of symptoms may be delayed for up
<br /> to 8 days after exposure Severe intoxication may be fatal, and if not fatal,recovery may require I week to 3 months Medical
<br /> Conditions Aggravated by Long-Term Exposure Existtn problems with the CNS-may be worsened by exposure to tetraethyl
<br /> lead,so administer preplacement andgpenodic medical exams emphasizing CNS functions Target Organs CNS,cardiovascular
<br /> system,kidneys,eves Primary Entry Skin contacuabsorption, inhalation Acute Effects Insomnia,lassitude,anxiety
<br /> tremors, heart irregulanties,hypotension, pallor, nausea,anorexia,hallucinations,convulsions,coma,eye irritation These are some of
<br /> the symptoms listed in Genium reference 88,page 221,however,the level and duration of the exposure determine which symptoms
<br /> actually occur Chronic Effects Possible cancer
<br /> FIRST AID Eves Immediately flush eyes,including under the eyelidsggently but thoroughlyy withplenty of running water for at
<br /> least 15 mutates Eye Lrntatton is expected,but it is minor compared Ca the SNS effects Skin Immediately remove material by
<br /> quickly rinsingthe affected area with kerosene or a similar petroleum distillate Then wash with soap and water Caution The rinsing
<br /> agent used is ammable,do not ignite it or its vapor,which will create additional hazards Inhalation Remove the exposed person
<br /> ' to fresh au,restore and/or support his or her breathing as needed Ingestion Never give anything by mouth to someone who is
<br /> unconscious or convulsing Do not induce vomiting That procedure is indicated only if very large amounts of tetraethyl lead have been
<br /> ingested Slowly give exposed person 1 to 2 glasses of mirk or water to drink to dilute the material Call a poison control center for
<br /> specific recommendations
<br /> GET MEDICAL HELP (IN PLAINT, PARAMEDICCOMMUNITY) FOR ALL EXPOSLRES Seek prompt
<br /> medical assistance for further treatment, ohservat�on, and' support after first aid. Hospitalize exposed person for careful observation, monitor blood gases, fluids, and electrolytes Administer anticonvulsants as required, heavv
<br /> and prolonged sedation with short-acting barbituates in the hospital may prove effective DANGER Some effects
<br /> of tetraethvi lead exposure may he delayed by a week or more.
<br /> SECTION 7. SPILL LEAK AND DISPOSAL PROCEDURES
<br /> Spill/Leak Notify safety personnel,evacuate all nonessential personnel,provide maximumpossible ventilation,and eliminate all
<br /> sources of ignition immediately Cleanup personnel must have protection against contact with and inhalation of vapor(see sect 8) Use
<br /> nonsparktng tools Absorb the spilled tetraethyl lead with sand,sawdust,or vermiculite and then place the waste into containers suitable
<br /> ' for disposal or reclamation procedures
<br /> Waste Disposal Contact your supplier or a licensed contractor for detailed recommendations Follow Federal,state, and local
<br /> regulations

<br /> SECTIONS. SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
<br /> Goggles Always wear protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles Where splashing is possible,wear a full face shield Follow
<br /> ' OSHA eye-and face-protection regulations(29 CFR 1910 133) Respirator- Wear a NIOSH-approved respirator per the NIOSH
<br /> Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards(Genium ref 88)for the maximum-use concentrations and/or the exposure lin uts cited in section 2
<br /> Follow OSHA respirator regulations(29 CFR 1910 134) For emergency of nonroutine use(leaks or cleaning reactor vessels and storage
<br /> tanks),wear an SCBA with a full facepiece operated to the pressure-demand or positive-pressure mode Warning Air-purifying
<br /> ' respirators will not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres Other Wear impervious gloves,boots,aprons,and clean, impmi-
<br /> ous,body-covenng clothing to prevent any possibility of skin contact with liquid tetraethyl lead or its vapor Ventilation Install and
<br /> operate both general and local maxtmum explosion-proof ventilation powerful enough to maintain airborne levels of tetraethyl lead below
<br /> the OSHA PEL standard cited in section 2 Safety S tatlons• Make emergency eyewash stations,safety/quick-drench showers,and
<br /> washing facilities available in all work areas Contaminated Equipment Contact lenses pose a special hazard,soft lenses may

<br /> ' including skin absorption of its vapor
<br /> LAECTIQN 9. SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS AND COMMENTS
<br /> Storage/Segregation Store tetraethyl lead in a cool,dry,well-ventilated area away from sources of ignition and incompatible
<br /> ' chemicals(see sect.5)
<br /> Engineering Controls Preplan for routine use and emergency response Consider installing automatic sensing equipment to detect
<br /> dangerous levels of tetraethyl lead that may build up in enclosed,low-lying areas such as underground workrooms or storage areas
