Material Safety Data Sheet: PVC 1110 IDENTIFICATION CONTINUED
Chronic Effecte/Carcinogenic;
Chronic exposure to fumes and vapors from thermally decomposed plastics may causa hm asthma like syndrome due to the Inhalation of HCI vapors or fumes
IARC has determined that there is inadequate evidence of carcinogenicity of polyvinyl chloride in both animals and humans The overall evaluation of this chemical is Group 3, meaning that it is not classifiable as a carcinogen (IARC Vol 19, 1979) Polyvinyl rhlunde is not listed ar. a carcinogen by ORHA, NIOSH, NTP, or EPA.
iiiifRiT;AiD?MASURES
inhalation
No adverse effects anticipated by breathing small amounts during proper industrial handling If nigh dust exposure occurs remove victim to fresh air
Skin Contact
Wash off in flowing water or shower
Eye Contact
Immediately flush with water for at least 15 minuiey Do not rub the eyes Obtain medical attention if eye irritation occurs
Ingestion
This materiel is practically inert If. hnwaver, ingestion docs occur vomiting can be induced after diluting with water or milk, Call a physician for additions! medical advice

WMLIfJtl AND STORAGE
''SpZj.
Avoid contact with eyes Avoid breathing dust Minimize dust generation and accumulation Store in dry protected area
Engineering Controls
Provide general and/or local exhaust ventilation to contiol airborne levels below th5? exposure guidelines Good ventilation should be sufficient for most conditions
Respiratory Protection For most conditions, no respiratory protection should be needed, however, in dusty atmospheres, use approved dust respirator
