TO: Fayetta Tasby Interoffice Communication FROM: DATE: SUBJ: T. G. Grumbles May 15, 1989 HEALTH HAZARDS OF DINP VISTA I have reviewed the Exxon MSDS for Diisononyl Phthalate. This appears to be a thorough and complete description of the health hazards and is all of the information available to me at this time. In summary, DINP made by Exxon is a non-hazardous material in regards to human exposure and waste disposal. Exxon's hazard determination indicates that it is non-hazardous as defined by criteria in the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard. The product may cause slight irritation of the skin and eyes if contact occurs. If people are wiping wire or other "wetted surfaces" they should be instructed to wear gloves to prevent skin contact. If any possibility of eye contact exists safety glasses with side shields or chemical goggles should be worn. Please let me know if this information is sufficient for purposes of your liability/recall determination. I've attached the Exxon MSDS. .c T. G.
