HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ' ' Potential Health Effects Inhalation Vapors are minimal at room temperature. If product is heated or sprayed as an aerosol, airborne material may cause respiratory irritation. Skin Contact Contact with liquid may cause moderate irritation or dermatitis due to removal of oils from the skin. Eye Contact Product is an eye irritant. Ingestion Not a hazard in normal industrial use. Small amounts swallowed during normal handling operations are not likely to cause injury; swallowing large amounts may cause injury or irritation. Additional Health Effects Existing eye or skin sensitivity may be aggravated by exposure. Carcinogenicity Information No data available. Section 4. FIRST AID MEASURES Inhalation No specific treatment is necessary since this material is not likely to be hazardous by inhalation. If exposed to excessive levels of airborne aerosol mists, remove to fresh air. Seek medical attention if effects occur. Skin Contact In case of skin contact, wash off in flowing water or shower. Launder clothing before reuse. Eye Contact In case of eye contact, flush eyes promptly with water for 15 minutes. Retract eyelids often to ensure thorough rinsing.

Flow Through LC50 for Saltwater Minnows (Fundulus heteroclitus) is reported to be greater than 500 ppm. Environmental Fate BOD20 Concentrate 480,000 mg/kg COD Concentrate 516,000 mg/kg Section 13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS Concentrate Do not discharge into biological sewer treatment systems without prior approval. Specific concerns are high BOD load and foaming tendency. Low dosage flow rate or antifoaming agents acceptable to the treatment plant may be helpful. Do not flush to waterways. Disposal should be made in accordance with federal, state and local regulations. Foam/Foam Solution Aer-O-Water 3EM foam solution can be treated by waste water treatment facilities. Discharge into biological sewer treatment facilities may be done with prior approval. Specific concerns are high BOD load. Dilution will reduce BOD and COD factors proportionately. Low dosage flow rate or antifoaming agents acceptable to the treatment plant may be helpful. Do not flush to waterways. Disposal should be made in accordance with federal, state and local regulations.
