HEALTH HAZARD DATA: EYE: If liquid contacts eye, evaporation may cause frostbite-type injury due to rapid cooling. SKIN CONTACT: If liquid contacts skin, evaporation may cause frost-bite type injury due to rapid cooling. SKIN ABSORPTION: Skin absorption is unlikely due to physical properties. INGESTION: Ingestion is unlikely due to physical state. INHALATION: A single brief (minutes) inhalation exposure to easily attainable concentrations may cause serious adverse effects, even death. Signs and symptoms of excessive exposure at concentrations of 8000 to 10,000 ppm may be anesthetic or narcotic effects. Signs and symptoms of excessive exposure may be central nervous system effects. SYSTEMIC S OTHER EFFECTS: Excessive exposure may cause lung, liver and kidney effects. Excessive exposure has been shown to cause cancer in humans and in laboratory animals. Repeated excessive exposure may cause Raynaud's Phenomenon, pseudoscleroderma and acroosteolysis In humans. Has been shown to be a mutagen in bacteria. Has been shown to produce reversible chromosomal abnormalities in humans. Vinyl chloride Is listed as a carcinogen by The National Toxicology Program, The international Agency for Research, and 0SHA. 7. FIRST AID: EYES: Irrigate immediately with water for at least 5 minutes. SKIN: No adverse effects anticipated by this route of exposure except for frostbite.

Supportive care* Treatment based on judgment of the physician in response to reactions of the patient. 8. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS: EXPOSURE GUIDELINE (S)t ACGIH TIV Is 5 ppm for vinyl chloride. OSHA PEL Is 1 ppm for vinyl chloride with a 0*5 ppm action level. VENTILATION: Control airborne concentrations below the exposure guideline. Use only with adequate ventilation. Local exhaust ventilation may be necessary for some operations* RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: When airborne exposure guidelines and/or comfort levels may be exceeded, use an approved positive-pressure self-conta1ned breathing apparatus. SKIN PROTECTION: Use an impervious full slicker- suit when there is any possibility of skin contact with liquid or vapors in excess of exposure guidelines. EYE PROTECTION: Use chemical goggles. If vapor exposure causes eye irritation, use a full-face, supplied-alr respirator. 9. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE: Storage should be in an isolated, wel1-ventilated area. Pits, depressions, and basements should be avoided. Avoid all skin and eye contact. Avoid breathing vapors. Vinyl chloride should always be handled with full recognition of Its volatility and its flammability. Keep the material enclosed and eliminate all sources of ignition. (Continued on Page 5) (R) Indicates a trademark of The Dow Chemical Company AP00045360 ............................
