Permissible Exposure Limits: Hone established by OSHA. ACGTH: 5 ppm, 8-hour TWA (time-weighted average); 20 ppm, STEL (short-term exposure limit for any 15-minute excursion.) PPG Internal Permissible Exposure Limit (IPEL) - 2.5 ppm, 8-hour TWA (time-weighted average); 10 ppm, STEL (short-term exposure limit for any 15-minute excursion.) ACUTE Overexposure can lead to drunkenness, anesthesia, and if continued, unconsciousness and ultimately, death. Liquid vinylidene chloride is irritating to the eyes and skin. The inhibitor can cause local skin irritation or bums unless washed off thoroughly. The odor threshold of vinylidene chloride is not an adequate warning to prevent over exposure. Although swallowing is not likely to occur in industrial applications, accidental ingestion of vinylidene chloride can result In illness and may be fatal. CHRONIC The following is a summary of recent animal studies conducted on vinylidene chloride: 1) Professor Cesare Maltoni of Bologna, Italy, performed a chronic inhalation study^ with mice. At 25ppm, an increased incidence of kidney adenomas was observed in the test animals, versus the untreated controls; at the lOppm exposure level, these effects were not observed. A chronic inhalation study was also conducted with rats, under the auspices of the Chemical Manufacturers Association (CMA). At the 25ppm exposure level, an in creased incidence of liver cell vacuolization was observed in the test animals versus the untreated controls. 2) Other VDCM studies performed under the auspicies of the Chemical Manufacturers Association included: 90-day drinking water study in rats; two-year toxicological study in conjunction with a three-generation reproduction study incorporating VDCM in the drinking water of rats; 90-day oral study in dogs; 90-day inhalation study in rats; teratology studies via ingestion and inhalation in rats and inhalation in rabbits; metabolic studies in rats via Inhalation and ingestion and mutagenicity (cytogenetics). In these studies, no adverse effects were observed, except in the drinking water studies in rats, which revealed liver cell vacuolization. In view of the animal studies performed to date, it appears that chronic exposures to vinylidene chloride may cause liver and kidney injury. 3) A chronic oral gavage study^ in rodents has shown that VDCM is not carcinogenic in rats or mice, although liver and kidney lesions were induced. Vinylidene chloride is listed in Group 3 by IARC and not listed by NTP or OSHA. SL 070989 EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES: Inhalation: Ronove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician. Eye or Skin Contact Immediately flush with plenty of water (soap and water for skin) for at least 15 minutes, while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. If irritation occurs, consult a physician. Thoroughly clean contaminated clothing and shoes before reuse or discard. If conscious, drink large quantities of water. Do not induce vomiting. Take immediately to a hospital or physician. If unconscious, or in convulsions, take immediately to a hospital. DO NOT attempt to Induce vomiting or give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Notes to Physician (InducBng Antidote*): NEVER administer adrenalin following Vinylidene Chloride overexposure. Increased sensitivity of the heart to adrenalin may be caused by overexposure to Vinylidene Chloride. SECTION 6. REACTIVITY DATA Stability: Stable Condtions to Avoid Direct sunlight, excessive heat, exposure to atmospheric oxygen. Hazardous Polymerization: May occur. Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid): aluminum and their alloys. Conditions to Avoid Exposure to atmospheric oxygen; con tamination with free-radical initiators; sunlight, excessive heat.-------------------------------- --------------- .--------------------- Contamination with free-radical initiators, copper, Hazardous Decomposition Products: Exposure of uninhibited or inhibitor-depleted monomer to oxygen may form shock-sensitive, explosive peroxides. Burning or decomposition of VDCM forms toxic, corrosive hydrogen chloride and oossiblv traces nf phncgonp. SECTION 7 SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES Steps to be Taken if Material Is Spilled or Released Evacuate area, provide maximum ventilation and remove all sources of ignition. Keep evacuated personnel upwind to avoid exposure. Only personnel equipped with NTOSH/MSHA-approved, self-contained breathing apparatus or full facepiece airline respirators with auxiliary SCBAs operated in the pressure/demand mode should be allowed in area (See Section 8). Dike area of spill, using sand or vermiculite to avoid spread of spilled material. Then pump diked material into covered container for disposal (See Section 6, Hazardous Decomposition Products). Any remaining material should be ab sorbed on sand or vermiculite and swept into closed containers for disposal. After all visible traces of spilled material have been removed, remove upper layer of contaminated soil and place in covered cuntainhi for disposal. Waste Disposal Method: PPij recommends incineration for liquid vinylidene chloride in a hazardous waste management facility recommended for contaminated solids. Care must be taken when using or disposing of chemical materials and/or their containers to prevent environmental contamination. It is your duty to dispose of the chemical materials and/or their containers in accordance with the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Resource Conservations and Recovery Act, as well as any other relevant federal, state, or local laws/regulations regarding disposal- SL 070990 SECTION 8 SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION RespiratoryProteCtlort Use NTOSH/MSHA-approved, airline respirator for routine work purposes when air concentrations exceed the permissible exposure limits. See Section 7 for respiratory protection during spills or leaks. The respirator use limitations made by NIOSH/MSHA or the manufacturer must be observed. Respiratory protection programs must meet the requirements of 29CFR 1910.114. Ventilation (Type): Local Exhaust recommended limits. Sufficient to maintain employee exposures below Chemical safety-goggles,----------- 'bt.----------------------Rutyvlnyl Alcohol, "triton,---------- ^ unless full facepiece KNm' Nitrile respirator is worn. - other Protective Equipment Boots, aprons, or cnemicai suits should De worn when necesst prevent skin contact. Personal protective clothing and use of equipment must be in accordance with 29CFR 1910.133 and 29CFR 1910.132. SECTION 9 SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS Precautions to be Taken During Handling and Storing MATERIAL SHOULD NOT BE STORED LONGER TRAN FOUR (4) MONTHS. Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and other sources of heat. 4 Adequate ventilation must be maintained in storage areas to reduce fire hazard in the event of a leak. Store only in closed, properly labeled containers. Wear goggles, gloves and skin protection when handling. Wear respiratory protection in any case where exposure may be above permissible exposure limits. Container and system must be electrically grounded before unloading. Before unloading, purge air from unloading system with nitrogen and keep vinylidene chloride In a nitrogen atmosphere. AVOID CONTAMINATION WITH WATER SUPPLIES. Handling, storage and use procedures must be carefully monitored to avoid spills or leaks. Any spill or leak has the potential to cause underground water contamination which may, if sufficiently severe, render a drinking water source unfit for human consumption. Contamination that does occur cannot easily be corrected. ______________________________________________________ Other Precautions: Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Avoid breathing vapor. Excessive vapor inhalation can cause illness or death. Long term, low-level vapor inhalation can cause kidney and liver injury. Use only with ventilation sufficient to limit employee exposure in work areas below permissible exposure limits. 4 Avoid contact with eyes, skin or clothing. Eye or skin contact causes severe irritation and may result in burns. 4 Do not allow air into containers or storage vessels. Exposure of vinylidene chloride to air may form explosive peroxides.
