IMMEDIATELY flush eyes
directed stream of water for at least 15
minutes, forcibly holdingHey^ilids apart to ensure complete irrigation
of all eye and lid tissue* T:| IRRITATION PERSISTS GET MEDICAL
ATTENTION.
For contact witj| liqpid or cold gas; quickly remove victim from source of contaiinaJi-ion and flush lukewarm (100-105) not hot, flowing water until the^ffiemical is removed. DO NOT attempt to re-warm the affected area on site. DO NOT rub area or apply dry heat. Loosely cover with a dry sterile dressing. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION QUICKLY.
INHALATION: 1899
Remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, have trained person administer oxygen. If respiration stops, have a trained person administer artificial respiration. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
INGESTION: 179 | NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON. Have patient " drink several glasses of water then induce vomiting by having patient
tickle back of throat with finger. Keep airway clear. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.

Method: TOC
Autoignition Temperature: 882F
FLAMMABLE LIMITS IN AIR, BY % VOLUME
Upper: 33.0 Lower: 3.6
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: 206
Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, foam, water fog or spray. Water may be ineffective, but should be used to ke$to fire-exposed containers cool. 2 07 If a leak or spill has not ignited, use water spray to disperse the vapors and to protect persons attenuating to stop leak.
FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: 13 68
Evacuate all unnecessary |ersssnnel. Shut down motors, pumps, electrical service and el|pmuihte all sources of ignition. Use water spray to keep fire expose! cqgatainers cool to avoid pressure buildup. Wear NIOSH/MSHA approved i?osi||ive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing.
FIRE AND EXPLOSIONpA25ARI):
303 S 1 For large cargo[|firdii, evacuate all personnel to at least 1/2 mile in all directions |ua,ifb danger of exploding vessels. Down wind areas may require additional evacuation due to toxic products of
combustion. Do not attempt to extinguish large fires. Evacuate the area and notify the fire department. If possible to do without danger to personnel, containers exposed to intense heat from fires should be cooled with water to prevent vapor pressure buildup which could result in container rupture. Container areas exposed to direct flame contact should be cooled with large quantities of water as needed to prevent weakening of container structure.
SENSITIVITY TO MECHANICAL IMPACT: 107
None known.
OCC 11754
SENSITIVITY TO STATIC DISCHARGE: 248

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS: 312
People performing the cleanup should have full protective equipment including a NIOSH/MSHA approved positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS:
314
According to 40 CFR 302 Table 302.4 (CERCLA), environmental releases that exceed the RQ must be reported to the National Response Center by calling 800-424-8802 (202-426-2675) and the State Emergency Response Commission and the Local Emergency Planning Committee (40 CFR 355.40) as appropriate.

PERSONAL PROTECTION
RESPIRATORY: 468
Avoid breathing vapor. If exposure may or does exceed occupational exposure limits (Sec III) use a NIOSH approved respirator as required to prevent overexposure. In accord with 29 CFR 1910.134, use an atmosphere supplying respirator (air line or self-contained breathing apparatus) . No air purifying respirator has been approved for vinyl chloride.

Vinyl chloride has been demonstrated to be mutagenic in cultured cell tests, insects, and laboratory animals. It is also listed as a human carcinogen by OSHA, IARC (Group 1) and NTP. Long term exposure to vinyl chloride has caused liver and other cancers in animals and humans. At high concentrations vinyl chloride can cause central nervous depression, affect heart rhythms, and cause liver and kidney damage. Prolonged and repeated exposure may result in changes in the blood system and loss of bone from finger tips.
