HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION (Continued) ROUTES OF EXPOSURE INHALATION: High concentrations may cause central nervous system depression and kidney/liver damage. as well as affect heart rhythms. Prolonged and repeated exposure may result in changes in the blood system and loss of bone from finger tips. SKIN: Direct contact (frostbite). with liquid can result in freze burns EYE CONTACT: Direct contact with liquid can result in eye burns. INGESTION: Not a relevant route of exposure. EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE ACUTE: Freeze burns as noted above, early to moderate CNS (central nervous system) depression may be evidenced by giddiness, headache, dizziness and nausea; in extreme cases, unconsciousness and death may occur. CHRONIC: Kidney damage may be.evidenced by change in urine output, urine appearance or edema (selling from fluid retention). Liver damage may be evidenced by ^oss of appetite. Jaundice (yellowish skin color) and sometimes pain in the upper abdomen on the right side. HEALTH HAZARD DATA: } Acute Inhalation: LC 50 = 150p0 ppm/2 hrs (rat) Vinyl chloride monomer has been demonstrated to be mutagenic in cultured cell tests, insects and laboratory animals. MEDICAL LIMITATIONS: Aggravated Medical Conditions: Pre-existing eye, skin and respiratory disorders may be aggravated by exposure to this product. impaired kidney and liver function(s) from pre-existing disorders may be aggravated by exposure to this product. Other Health Effects: Listed as a known carcinogen by the Occupational Safety and Health Admin 1stration, The National Toxicology Testing Program and the International Agency For Research on Cancer. Long-term exposure to vinyl chloride vapour has caused cancer In animals. Some production workers" have developed liver cancer when exposed for many years to much higher concentrat ions of vinyl chloride th&r\ encountered in plants operating today. In addition, there ar-e reports that VCM may cause other forms of cancer than--3CTSrtp liver cancer.

REACTIVITY DATA CONDITIONS CONTRIBUTING TO INSTABILITY: Can form shock sensititive peroxides on exposure to air. INCOMPATIBILITY: Heat, contact with other polymerization oxidizing agents, oxygen, air, sunlight and catalysts. Copper, aluminum, metal alkyls and alkali metals such as sodium and potassium and their alloys. HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: HC1, CO. phosgene on combustion. CONDITIONS CONTRIBUTING TO HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Heat? contact with oxidizing agents, oxygen, air, other polymerization catalysts. sunlight and VIII. HANDLING AND STORAGE HANDLING AND STORAGE PRECAUTIONS: Keep 1 iquid and vapor away -from heat, sparks and flame. Surfaces that are sufficiently hot may ignite even liquid product in the absence of sparks or flame. Extinguish pilot lights, cigarettes and turn off other sources of ignition prior to use and until all vapors are gone. Vapors may accumulate and travel to ignition sources distant from the handling site; flashfire can result. Keep containers closed when not in use. Use only with adequate ventilation. Containers, even those that have been emptied, can contain explosive vapors. Do not cut, drill, burn, weld or perform similar operations on or near containers. Static electricity may accumulate and create a fire hazard. Ground fixed equipment. Bond and ground transfer containers and equipment. IX. ENVIRONMENTAL PROCEDURES STEPS TO BE TAKEN IF MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Danger I Ignition. Extremely flammable.
