Page 3 of 4 <br /> SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE: CNS (central nervous system) depression may be <br /> evidenced by giddiness, headache, dizziness, and nausea; in extreme cases unconsciousness <br /> and death may occur. 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 /> 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 /> ocaO9-23-92/8787a.51/cp31 A-10 <br />
