5. HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION
FIRST AID
:.U:
EYES:
SKIN: INHALATION: INGESTION:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, Get medical attention Immediately. Call a physician.
Flush with water to remove material from skin.
Remove to fresh air.
If swallowed, call a physician immediately. ONLY induce vomiting at the instruction of a physician. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
NATURE 6F HAZARD
EYES: SKIN: INHALATION:
Exposure does not cause significant Irritation or toxicity. Physical Irritation may occur If high exposures to dust occur.
Exposure dods not cause significant irritation or toxicity. Physical irritation may occur as a result of prolonged contact.
Exposure to high concentrations of dust may result in upper respiratory tract irritation. This product may contain residual amounts or vinyl chloride. Vinyl chloride is regulated as a carcinogen by OSHA, and is listed by NTP and IARC as a carcinogen. Under normal conditions no occupational exposure exceeding established exposure limits for vinyl chloride is anticipated. Under burning conditions, HCL and other toxic gases will be produced. HCL is irritating to the upper respiratory tract and corrosive to tissue. Exposure to high concentrations of HCL gas may be fatal. Individuals bronchial asthma or other chronic obstructive respiratory diseases may develop constriction of the lung airways.
mmmmmim $
None established for this specific product. Respirable dust standard would apply to processing dusts. OSHA PEL for respirable dust: 10 mg/m3 (total dust) 8-hr. TWA ACGIH TLV for respirable dust: 5 mg/m3 Vista recommends controlling dust exposures at or below 5 mg/m3.
TOXICITY DATA
;v* ?
* *,
Exposure to certain related processing dusts have been reported to cause lung changes in animals and humans including decreased respiratory capacity and inflammation. However, exposure to dust levels approaching the Vista recommended level of 5 mg/m3 are not anticipated to pose any significant risk to
health.
