Symptoms: Reduced respiratory function, dermatitis, digestive system cancers; cancers of breasts and urinary organs in women. Exposure Limits: Not regulated Skin Contact: Flood all areas of body that have contacted the substance with water. Don't wait to remove contaminated clothing; do it under the water stream, use soap to help assure removal. Isolate contami nated clothing when removed to prevent contact by others. Eye Contact: Remove any contact lenses at once. Flush eyes well with copious quantities of water or normal saline for at least 20-30 minutes. Seek medical attention. Inhalation: Leave contaminated area immediately; breathe fresh air. Proper respiratory protection must be supplied to any rescuers. If coughing, difficult breathing or any other symptoms develop, seek medical atten tion at once, even if symptoms develop many hours after exposure. Ingestion: if convulsions are not present, give a glass or two of water or milk to dilute the substance. Assure that the person's airway is unobstructed and contact a hospital or poison center immediately for advice on whether or not to induce vomiting. Storage Precautions: Store In a refrigerator and protect from prolonged exposure to 1 i ght. Spills and Leakage: use absorbent paper to pick up spilled material. Follow by washing surfaces well first with toluene, then with soap and water. Seal all wastes in vapor-tight plastic bags for eventual disposal. Suggested Gloves: Not available Uses: Rubber substitutes, electric wire and cable-coverings, pliable thin sheeting, film finishes for textiles, non-flammable upholstery, raincoats, tubing, belting, gaskets, shoe soles.
