PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS: OSHA: 1 PPM, 8-HOUR TWA (TIME-WEIGHTED AVERAGE); 5 PPM AVERAGED OVER ANY 15 MINUTE PERIOD, STEL (SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE LIMIT); ACTION LEVEL - 0.5 PPM, 8-HOUR TVA; 29 CFR 1910.1017. ACUTE: INHALATION: ACUTE INHALATION OVEREXPOSURE TO VINYL CHLORIDE CAN CAUSE LUNG IRRITATION, DIZZINESS, AND UNCONSCIOUSNESS FOLLOWING SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE. SKIN/EYE: SKIN AND EYE CONTACT WITH THE LIQUID MONOMER CAN CAUSE FREEZ ING OF EXPOSED TISSUES BECAUSE OF LOW STORAGE TEMPERATURES REQUIRED FOR THIS PRODUCT. CHRONIC: VINYL CHLORIDE HAS BEEN DEMONSTRATED TO BE A HUMAN CARCINOGEN. OCCUPA TIONAL EXPOSURES TO VINYL CHLORIDE MONOMER 'HAVE BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH A VARIETY OF HUMAN DISEASE CONDITIONS. AMONG THESE ARE LIVER LESIONS, IN CLUDING FIBROSIS AND CANCER (ANGIOSARCOMA AND OTHER CANCERS OF THE LIVER AND BILIARY TRACT), SKIN CONDITIONS (SCLERODERMA), AND SHORTENING OF THE FINGERS (ACROOSTEOLYSIS). OTHER ABNORMALITIES LINKED WITH VINYL CHLOR IDE MONOMER EXPOSURES INCLUDE SPLEEN, LUNG, BLOOD, AND NERVOUS SYSTEM ABNORMALITIES (INCLUDING CANCER OF THE BRAIN AND OTHER CNS PARTS). IN A RECENT DRAFT REPORT ENTITLED "EPIDEMIOLOGIC STUDY OF VINYL CHLORIDE WORKERS," THE STUDY FOUND A MORTALITY EXCESS IN EMPHYSEMA, HOWEVER, THE STUDY DID NOT FIND ANY EXCESS IN EITHER RESPIRATORY CANCER OR LYMPHATIC AND HEMATOPOIETIC CANCER. * EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION, PREFERABLY MOUTH-TO-MOUTH. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN. PHYSICIAN.

SKIN CONTACT - WASH WITH WATER, THEN SOAP AND WATER WHILE REMOV ING CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND SHOES. VINYL CHLORIDE'S RAPID EVAPORATION RATE CAN PRODUCE FROSTBITE. FOR FROSTBITE, DO NOT RUB BUT WARM AFFECTED AREA BY PLACING IN LUKEWARM WATER. EXERCISE AFFECTED AREA AFTERWARDS. GIVE PATIENT WARM DRINK. IF IRRITATION PERSISTS, CONTACT A PHYSICIAN. THOROUGHLY CLEAN CONTAMINATED CLOTHING BEFORE REUSE OR DISCARD. INGESTION: NOT APPLICABLE. NOTES TO PHYSICIAN (INCLUDING ANTIDOTES): IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT ENZYMATIC LIVER FUNCTION TESTS ARE NOT ABNORMAL IN INDIVIDUALS WITH VINYL CHLORIDE-ASSOCIATED LIVER LESIONS.

CLOSE OFF SOURCE OF LEAK AND ALLOW ALL SPILLED MATERIAL TO EVAPORATE. THEN WASH AREA OF SPILL WITH PLENTY OF WATER. CONTINUE TO THOROUGHLY VENTILATE AREA AND DO NOT ALLOW UNPROTECTED PERSONNEL TO ENTER AREA UNTIL MONOMER CONCENTRATION IS BELOW PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMIT. WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: VINYL CHLORIDE EVAPORATES COMPLETELY, BUT ADEQUATE VENTILATION MUST BE PROVIDED TO PREVENT EXPLOSIVE MIXTURES. CARE MUST BE TAKEN WHEN USING OR DISPOSING OF CHEMICAL MATERIALS AND/OR THEIR CONTAINERS TO PREVENT ENVIRON MENTAL CONTAMINATION.
