PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES 1 Care should be taken to prevent entry into the environment through spills, leakage, use, vaporization, or disposal of liquid or containers. Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors or mists. Avoid contact with eyes or prolonged contact with skin. If skin contact occurs, remove by washing with soap and water. Following eye contact, flush with water. In case of spillage onto clothing, the clothing should be removed as soon as practical, skin washed, and clothing laundered. Comply with all federal, state, and local regulations. EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES Ingestion--Consult a physician. Do not induce vomiting or give any oily laxatives. NOTE TO PHYSICIAN--If large amounts ingested, gastric lavage is suggested. Skin--If liquid or solid PCB's are splashed or spilled on skin, contaminated clothing should be removed and the skin washed thoroughly with soap and water. NOTE TO PHYSICIAN--Hot PCB's may cause thermal burns. Eyes--Eyes should be irrigated immediately with copious quantities of running water for at least 15 minutes if liquid or solid PCB's get into them. A petrolatum-based ophthalmic ointment may be applied to the eye to relieve the irritating effects of PCB's. Inhalation--Remove to fresh air. If skin rash or respiratory irritation persists, consult a physician. NOTE TO PHYSICIAN--If electrical equipment arcs over, PCB's or other chlorinated hydrocarbon dielectric fluids may decompose to produce HCI, hydrochloric acid, a respiratory irritant.

Skin Protection: Wear appropriate protective gloves and protective clothing that provide a barrier to prevent skin contact. Consult glove manufacturer to determine appropriate type glove for given application. Wear chemical safety goggles and a face shield and a protective apron that provides a barrier when splashing is likely. Wash immediately if skin is contaminated. Remove contaminated clothing promptly and launder before reuse. Clean protective equipment before reuse. Provide a safety shower at any location where skin contact can occur. Wash thoroughly after handling. Respiratory Protection: Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Use NIOSH/MSHA approved equip ment when airborne exposure limits are exceeded. Full facepiece equipment is recommended and, if used, replaces need for face shield and/or chemical splash goggles. Consult respirator manufacturer to determine type equipment for given application. The respirator use limitations specified by NIOSH/MSHA or the manufacturer must be observed. High air borne concentrations may require use of self-contained breathing apparatus or supplied air respirator. Respiratory protection programs must be in compliance with 29 CFR 1910.134. Ventilation: Provide ventilation to control exposure levels below airborne exposure limits. Use local mechanical exhaust ventilation at sources of air contamination such as open process equipment.

They may decompose to form CO, C02, HC1, phenolics, aldehydes and other toxic combustion products under severe conditions such as exposure to flame or hot surfaces. At temperatures in the range of 600-650C in the presence of excess oxygen PCBs may form polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs). Laboratory studies under similar conditions have demonstrated that PCBs do not produce polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDb). PCBs in electrical equipment have been reported to produce both chlorinated dioxins (PCDDs) and furans (PCDFs) during fire situations. These combustion product may result all or in part from non-PCB components of the dielectric fluids or other combusted materials. Consult the equipment manufacturer for information regarding composition of the dielectric fluids in electrical apparatus. Standard fire fighting wearing apparel and self-contained breathing apparatus should be worn when fighting fires that involve possible exposure to chemical combustion products. Fire fighting equipment should be thoroughly cleaned and decontaminated after use. If a PCB transformer is involved in a fire-related incident, the owner of the transformer may be required to report the incident. Consult and follow appropriate federal, state, and local regulations. L REACTIVITY DATA PCBs are very stable, fire-resistant compounds. PCB-ARCH-EXT0379828 Monsanto MATERIAL SAFETY DATA HEALTH EFFECTS SUMMARY Page 3 of 4 Skin Contict--Can be absorbed through intact skin. Local action on skin is similar to that of common organic solvents where contact leads to removal of natural fata and oils with subsequent drying and cracking of the skin. A potential exists for the contracting of chloracne. Eye Contact--The liquid products and their vapors are moderately irritating to eye tissues. Ingestion--The acute oral toxicities of the undiluted compounds are: L0K rats--8.65 gmlkg for 42% chlori nated, and 11.9 gm/kg for 54% chlorinated--"slightly toxic." Inhalation--Animal experiments of varying duration and at different air concentrations show that for similar exposure conditions, the 54% chlorinated material produces more liver injury than the 42% chlorinated material. Other--There are literature reports that PCBs can impair reproduction function in monkeys. A study reported intheliteraturewith female rats using Aroclor 1260 stated that Aroclor 1260 caused liver cancers. Monsanto sponsored animal feeding studies of Aroclor 1242,1254 and 1260. These compounds, fed to both sexes of rats, did not produce cancers. The-National Cancer Institute performed a study in 1977 using Aroclor 1254with both saxes of rats. NCI stated that the PCB. Aroclor 1254 was not carcinogenic under the conditions of their bioassay. `'"The consistent finding in animal studies with PCBs is that they produce liver injury following prolonged and repeated exposure by any route, if the exposure is of sufficient degree and duration. Liver injury is produced first and by exposures that are less than that alleged to cause cancer in rodents. Therefore, exposure by all routes should be kept sufficiently low to prevent liver injury. Numerous epidemiological studies of humans, both occupationally exposed and non-worker environmentally exposed populations, have not demonstrated any statistically significant causal relationship between PCB exposures and chronic human illnesses such as cancer or neurological or cardiovascular effects. Nor was there any increase in overall cancer mortality as result of PCB exposure. PCBs can cause dermatological symptoms; however, these are reversible upon removal of exposure source. PCBs are identified as hazardous chemicals under criteria of the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200). As such, Monsanto is required to notify that PCBs have been listed in the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) Monographs (1982)Group 2B and in the National Toxicology Program (NTP) Annual Report on Carcinogens (Third).

Monsanto MATER|AL safety pats SPILL, LEAK AND DISPOSAL INFORMATION Page * of 4 Disposal of liquid PCBs and other PCB items is strictly regulated by the federal government. The regulations are found at 40 CFR Part 761. Consult these regulations as well as applicable state and local regulations prior to any disposal of PCBs, PCB items, or PCB-contaoinated items. If PCBs leak or are spilled, the following steps should be taken immediately: All non-essential personnel should leave the leak or spill area. The area should be adequately ventilated to prevent the accumulation of vapors. The spill/leak should be contained. Loss to sewer systems, navigable waterways and streams should be prevented. Spills/leaks should be removed promptly by means of absorptive material, such as sawdust, vermiculite, dry sand, clay, dirt or other similar materials, or trapped and removed by pumping or other suitable means (traps, drip-pans, trays, etc.). | Personnel entering the spill or leak area should be furnished with appropriate I personal protective equipment and clothing as needed. See Occupational Control Procedures section of this MSDS. Personnel trained in the emergency procedures and protected against the attendant hazards should shut off sources of PCBs, clean up spills, control and repair leaks and fight fires in PCB areas. All wastes and residues containing PCBs (e.g., wiping cloths, absorbent material, used disposal protective gloves, clothing, etc.) should be collected, placed in proper containers, marked and disposed of in the manner prescribed by EPA regulations (40 CFR Part 761) and applicable state and local regulations. Various federal, state, and local regulations may require reporting of PCB spills and may also define spill clean-up levels. Consult your attorney or appropriate regulatory officials for information relating to spill reporting and spill clean-up. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS J POLYCHLORINATED BIPHENYLS For regulatory purposes, under the Toxic Substances Control Act the term "PCBs" refers to a chemical substance limited to the biphenyl molecule that has been chlorinated to varying degrees or any combination of substances which contain such substance (40 CFR Part 761). Chemically, commercial PCBs are defined as a series of technical mixtures, consisting of many isomers and compounds that vary from mobile oily liquids to white crystalline solids and hard non-crystalline resins. Technical products vary in composition, in the degree of chlorination and possibly according to batch. The mixtures generally used contain an average of 3 atoms of chlorine per molecule (42% chlorine) to 5 atoms of chlorine per molecule (54% chlorine). They are used as components of dielectric fluids in transformers and capacitors. Prior to 1972, PCB applications included heat transfer media, hydraulic and other industrial fluids, plasticizers, carbonless paper, paints, inks and adhesives. Federal regulations specify that non-totally enclosed PCB activities are permitted only if specifically exempted or authorized. (40 CFR Part 761).
