Extreme exposures can overwhelm the normal respiratory dofensa mechanisms and raault in temporary difficulty in breathing. Skin Contact: Skin Absorption: Eya Contact: Asbestos splinters may penetrate the skin and causa asbestos corns". Not app1icab 1e May cause irritation and abrasions. Ingestion: No known effects. CHRONIC EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE Route of Exposure: Tnha1 a tion: Skin Conte ct: Skin Absorption: Eye Contact: Overexposure to Asbestos has caused damage .to lungs (asbestosis), lung cancer and mesothelioma of tha pleura and peritoneum. Symptoms, which are usually not manifested until 1S-20 years after exposure, include labored breathing, chest pains, weakness, and chest tightness. Pleural thickening, plaques and effusion are nondisabling conditions, seen sep arately or together, that have been associated with prolonged asbestos exposure. The risk of lung cancer is greatly increased for those who smoke cigarettes regularly in addition to having asbestos exposures. Not app1 icab 1e Not app1 icab 1e 5j^ acute effects. exposure. Usual 1/ reversible on removal from Ingestion: Route of Exposure; Inha1 a tion : Sk i Contact: Some studies indicate that asbestos overexposure is implicated as a cause of gastro- i ntest i na 1 and laryngeal cancers, but the evidence is conflicting; no documented human effects. EMERGENCY ANO FIRST AIR PROCEDURES No acute toxicity: Remove to fresh air. If breathing is diffi cult, oxygen may be administered. If breathing has stopped, svinixter artificial respiration. Call a physician. Remove asbestos slivers promptly. Surgical removal may be required. If 'asbestos corn* develops. Eye Contact: I ng e s tion: I'rigate gently with water for IS minutes. Refer to ophthalmolo;<st to rule out possibility of damage to cornea or eyeball by fibers. Sene indicated.

Special Fi re-Fight1ng Procedures: Avoid media and procedures that cause airborne dust. Personnel involved in fire-fighting should use NIOSH/USHA-approved self-contained breathing apparatus and full protection clothing. Unusual Fire and Explosive Hazard: See Below Stability: SECTION VI REACTIVITY DATA Stable (Temperature In vxetsi of 1112 *F [800 *C] cause loss of bound water). Conditions to Avoid: None Hazardous Decomposition Products: None Material to Avoid: None SECTION VII SPILL, LEAK, AND DISPOSAL INFORMATION Steps to be Taken if Material is Spilled or Released: Avoid breathing dust. Notify Safety personnel of spill. Permit only trained clean-up personnel in the spill area. Use wet methods or approved vacuum cleaning system to pick up so i I led materials. Use water or other dust suppressants where sweep ing is unavoidable. Do not stir up dust. Clean-up personnel should wear approved respirators snd protective clothing. Waste and contaminated protective clothing must be placed in dust-tight containers and be properly labeled for disposal. Neutralizing Agents: Not applicable Water Disposal Method: Bags, friable asbestos, waste and scrap material should be disposed of in s manner which will avoid airborne concentretions of asbestos, such as the use of dust-tight trash begs or containers. Such containers should be labeled in accordance with 40 CFR Cl.20. Asbestos is also classified as a hazardous material under CWA. 307(a) and has a reportable Quantity of one pound. Deposit waste containers in a secured landfill in accordance with Federal, State, and local regulations. SECTION VIII SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION Ventilation: Provide Ccuitc exhaust ventilation and capture filtration to remove asbestos particulate from the workplace and minimize it* dispersion into the envi ro"-ent. Isolate work areas and post signs where asbestos con tamination -ay exceed PEL. Hand- or po--er-ooerated tools which may release >>:cstos in excess of the PEL must be equipped with local exhaust systems B. 000131 .1 SRM1866 (Renewals) ASBESTOS C<> SECTION VIII SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION (Conti Quad-) Persona I Protective Equipment: Respirators: Where asbestos exposure in excess of the PEL is anticipated, wear a NIOSH/MSKA--approved respirator, as follows: up to^O times the PEL -- half-mask a i r-pur i fy i ng respirator with high-ffictency filters; up to 50 times the PEL - full facepiece a i r-puri fy i ng respi rator wi th highefficiency filters; up to XOO times the PEL -- powered a i r-pur t fy i ng respirator with high-efficiency filters or supplied-air respirator . operated in continuous flow mode. Eye Protection: Goggles are recommended. Follow Safety Rules. Cloves/Clothing: Cloves are recommended during handling. Other: For concentre t i ons in excess of the OSHA PEL, special clothing, such as coveralls, whole-body clothing, hood coverings, gloves, and foot coverings, are required under CFR IB10.1001. SECTION IX SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS Precautionary Statements: WARNINC CANCER HAZARD Breathing asbestos dust can cause lung damage and cancer. cancer is greatly increased for smokers. The risk of lung Do not create or breathe dust. Do not dry--sweep or use air hose for cleaning. Do not take protective equipment or clothing home. Do follow recommended work practices. Do wear approved respiratory protection and protective clothing ax required by applicable regulation. Do use vacuum or wet cleaning methods. Do dispose of dust, friable waste materials and contaminated protective equipment in dust-tight cor:iinerx. FOR INDUSTRIAL USE ONLY Precautions for Hand! i ng anc Storage: Store asbestos in closed continert (dusttight) in a clean, dry. secure area. Protect containers from damage. Do not open' containers in a manner that can release dust without providing proper enclosure or control measures. Use dust suppression control meas ures at all stages of asbestos handling, use and disposal. Follow good housekeeping practices to prevent accumulation of asbestos--containing dusts. Avoid '-halation of asbestos.* * Other Information: Material Listed as Carc^ogen in: * National Toxico ogy Program Annual Report (N'TP) : Known carcinogen. * Internationa I Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) : Croup X -- Carcinogenic `.9 humans.
