ENVIRONMENTALLY HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE (RQ-100/45.4)
Calcium hypochlorite mixture is a whits granular solid or tablets com
pressed from the granules with an odor of chlorine, it is used in water
purifica purification, as a swimming pool disinfectant, as a bleaching
compound, and for many other uses. It is noncombustible but it will
accelerate the burning of combustible materials. It is decomposed by
water with evolution of chlorine gas and heat. Prolonged exposure to
fire or heat may result in the vigorous decomposition of the material and
the rupture of its container. Material containing less than 39 percent
available chlorine will undergo reactions as described above though it
may taka longer to initiate and the resulting reactions may not be as
vigorous.

some effort to ignite: but once ignited, it will bum with increasing rapidity
as the fire progresses. If spilled on combustible materials, spontaneous
ignition of the material may occur. Contamination with many chemical
substances can cause a violent chemical reaction. It supports the burn

It is toxic by inhalation and skin absorption. Contact with the skin will
also cause severe burns. At concentrations below that at which one can
detect the material by smell, it is irritating to the eyes and mucous
membranes. It is slowly decomposed by water. It may only be shipped
in cylinders. Prolonged exposure o< the cylinders to fire or heat may

a pyrotechnic composition that may be ignited by friction with almost
any dry surface. Fires occurring in packages of these matches caused
by internal friction between the matches or impact are usually contained
in the package if it is not broken. If the matches have gotten wet and
dried out they are more readily ignited.

combustible material ignition can result. It will also accelerate the burning
of combustible material. Contact with ammonium compounds or hy

react with small quantities of water releasing chlorine gas. Prolonged
exposure of the material to fire or heat may result in the vigorous de
composition of the material and the rupturing of its containers. Material

MORPHOLINE, AEQUOUS MIXTURE
4907647
FLAMMABLE LIQUID, CORROSIVE
NA2054
Morpholine, aequous mixture is a colorless liquid with a fish-like odor
dissolved in water. It is used to make other chemicals, as a corrosion
inhibitor, and in detergents. It is corrosive to metals and tissue, ft has
a flash point of 100 deg. F. Its vapors are heavier than air.

MOTOR FUEL ANTIKNOCK COMPOUND (OR)
4921445
ANTIKNOCK COMPOUND (THESE MATERIALS
MAY CONTAIN VARIOUS HAZARDOUS
SUBSTANCE FOR WHICH THE APPROPRIATE RQ
APPLIES)
POISON B
UN1649
ENVIRONMENTALLY HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE
Motor fuel antiknock compound is a variable colored liquid with a
mildly pungent sweet odor. It is also a flammable or combustible liquid.
It is heavier than water and insoluble in water. It is toxic by inhalation
and by skin absorption, Prolonged exposure of the material to fire or
heat can result in the spontaneous decomposition of the material. If the
decomposition takes place inside a container, the container may violently
rupture and rocket.
It weighs 13.6 pounds per gallon.
If material on fire or involved In fire
Do not extinguish fire unless flow can be stopped
Use water in flooding quantities as fog
Solid streams of water may be ineffective
Cool all affected containers with flooding quantities of water
Apply water from as far a distance as possible
Use loam, carbon dioxide or dry chemical
If material not on Art and not Involved In fire
Keep sparks, flames, and other sources of ignition away
Keep material out of water sources and sewers
Build dikes to contain flow as necessary
Attempt to stop leak if without hazard
Use water spray to knock-down vapors
Personnel protection
Avoid breathing vapors
Keep upwind
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus
Avoid bodily contact with the material
Wear full protective clothing
Do not handle broken packages without protective equipment
Wash away any material which may have contacted the body with

Evacuation
ff Are becomes uncontrollable or container is exposed to direct
flame--evacuate for a radius of 1500 feel
ff material leaking (not on fire), downwind evacuation must be
considered
Environmental considerations--land spill
Dig a pit, pond, lagoon, holding area to contain liquid or solid material
Oike surface flow using soil, sand bags, foamed polyurethane, or
foamed concrete
Absorb bulk Squid with fly ash, cement powder, sawdust, or com
mercial sorbents
