HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION (Continued) ROUTES OF EXPOSURE INHALATION: High concenlrations may cause central nervous system depression and kidney/liver damage. as well as affect heart rhythms. Prolonged and repeated exposure may result in changes in the blood system and loss of bone from finger tips. SKIN: Direct contact (frostb1te)- with liquid can result in freeze burns EYE CONTACT: Direct contact with liquid can result in eye burns. INGESTION: Not a relevant route of exposure. EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE ACUTE: Freeze burns as noted above. early to moderate CNS (central nervous system) depression may be evidenced by giddiness, headache, dizziness and nausea; in extreme cases, unconsciousness and death may occur. CHRONIC: Kidney damage may be, evidenced by change In urine output, urine appearance or edema ` (swelling from fluid retention). Liver damage may be evidenced by loss of appetite, Jaundice (yellowish skin color) and sometimes pain in the upper abdomen on the right s 1 de. HEALTH HAZARD DATA: Acute Inhalation; LC 50 = 150.000 ppm/2 hrs (rat) Vinyl chloride monomer has been demonstrated to be mutagenic in cultured cell tests, insects and laboratory animals. MEDICAL LIMITATIONS; Aggravated Medical Conditions; Pre-existing eye. skin and respiratory disorders may be aggravated by exposure to this product. Impaired kidney and liver functlon(s) from pre-existing disorders may be aggravated by exposure to this product. Other Health Effects: Listed as a known, carcinogen by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, The National Toxicology Testing Program and the International Agency For Research on Cancer. Long-term exposure to vinyl chloride gas has caused cancer in animals. Some production workers have developed liver cancer when exposed for many years to much higher concentrations of vinyl chloride than encountered in plants operating today. In addition. there are reports that VCM may cause other forms of cancer in addition to liver cancer. III.

Do not enter confined Tire space without Tull bunker gear (helmet with Tace shield, bunker coats, gloves and rubber boots), including a positive pressure NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus. Cool Tire exposed containers with water. Stop source oT leak iT possible. UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD: Containers exposed to intense heat Trom Tires should be cooled with water to prevent vapor pressure buildup which could result in container rupture. Container areas exposed to direct Tlame contact should be cooled with large quantities oT water as needed to prevent weakening oT container structure. V. SPECIAL PROTECTION VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS: Use exploslon-prooT ventilation as required to control vapor concentrations. SPECIFIC PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT RESPIRATORY; Avoid breathing vapor. IT 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 1 1 ne or selT-contained breathing apparatus). No air puriTylng respirator has been approved Tor vinyl chloride. EYE: Wear chemical goggles eyes. iT there is likelihood oT contact with GLOVES: Wear chemical resistant gloves. OTHER CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT: Avoid liquid contact with skin and clothing. resistant protective clothing. Emergency shower Taclllty should be in close proximity.

REACTIVITY DATA CONDITIONS CONTRIBUTING TO INSTABILITY: Can form shock sensitive peroxides on exposure to air. INCOMPATIBILITY: Heat, contact with oxidizing agents, oxygen, air, sunlight and other polymerization catalysts. Copper, aluminum, metal alkyls, and alkali metals such as sodium and potassium and their alloys. HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS; HC1, CO, phosgene on combustion. CONDITIONS CONTRIBUTING TO HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Heat, contact with oxidizing agents, oxygen. air. other polymerization catalysts. sunlight and VIII. HANDLING AND STORAGE HANDLING AND STORAGE PRECAUTIONS: Keep liould and vapor away from heat, sparks and flame. Surfaces that are sufficiently hot may ignite even 1iquld product in the absence of sparks or flame. Extinguish pilot lights, cigarettes and turn off other sources of ignition prior to use and until all vapors are gone. Vapors may accumulate and travel to ignition sources distant from the handling site; flash fire can result. Keep containers closed when not in use. Use only with adequate ventilation. Containers, even those that have been emptied, can contain explosive vapors. Do not cut, drill. burn, weld or perform similar operations on or near containers. Static electricity may accumulate and create a fire hazard. Ground fixed equipment. Bond and ground transfer containers and equipment. occ H870 OCCIDENTAL CHEMICAL MSDS NUMBER: M9192 PRODUCT NAME: VINYL CHLORIDE (MONOMER) Pag 5 of 7 11-05-87 IX. ENVIRONMENTAL PROCEDURES STEPS TO BE TAKEN IF MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Danger I Extremely flammable. El iminate all sources of ignition. Isolate hazard area and deny entry to unnecessary or unprotected personnel. Stay upwind and keep out of low areas. Notify local fire department. Disperse any vapor cloud with a sustained spray of water. Shut off source of leak only if it can be done safely. WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Under EPA - RCRA (40 CFR 261.21). if vinyl chloride becomes a waste material, it would be a hazardous waste: hazardous waste number U043. Refer to latest EPA or state regulations regarding proper disposal. EPA - Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act. Under EPA-CERCLA "Superfund" releases to air, land or water which exceed the reportable quantity must be reported to the National Response Center 800-424-8802. RQ = 1 pound. X. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OSHA Standard 29CFR 1910.1200 requires that information be provided employees regarding the hazards of chemicals by means of a hazard commonication program including labeling, material safety data sheets, training and access to written records. Pursuant to the requirements of the OSHA VCM Standard, 29CFR 1910.1017. certain employees must be afforded appropriate medical survei11ance.
