EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE AND EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES EFFECTS OF A SINGLE (ACUTE) OVEREXPOSURE: SWALLOWING -- No evidence of adverse effecls from available information SKIN ABSORPTION -- No evidence of adverse effects from available information. INHALATION -- May cause Irritation of the ncse and throat, accompanied by cough and chest discomfort SKIN CONTACT -- May causa irritation seen as local redness. EYE CONTACT -- May cause eye irritation seer as excess redness of the conjunctiva. EFFECTS OF REPEATED (CHRONIC) OVEREXPOSURE: Repeated inhalation may cause lung damage OTHER EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE: None currently Known. MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY OVEREXPOSURE: Breathing of dust may aggravate asthm8 and inflammatory or fibrotic pulmonary disease SIGNIFICANT LABORATORY DATA WITH POSSIBLE RELEVANCE TO HUMAN HEALTH HAZARD EVALUATION: Results of one mordenite study are available A delayed fibrosis response in mice was seen following intrapentoneal Iniection ol mordenite particles 0.4-6 microns in length and 0 05-0.67 microns m width Nc malignant tumors seen. EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES: SWALLOWING -- It ingested in large quantities, then dnnk 2 glasses of water. Induce vomiting il the patient Is conscious. SKIN CONTACT -- Wash with soap and water. INHALATION -- Remove to fresh air If breathing is difficult, oxygen may be administered If breathing has stopped, administer artificial respiration. EYE CONTACT -- Immediately flush with water for 15 minutes. CARCINOGENIC ASSESSMENT (NTP ANNUAL REPORT, IARC MONOGRAPHS, OTHERS): No information available.

Use meba appropriate for surrounding fire SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Depends on the use of the material. Used matena' may contain products of a hazardous nature The user of this product must identify the hazards of the retained material and inform the fire fighters of these hazards. UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: In their fresh unused state, molecular sieves are not flammable When exposed to water however, they can get qurte hot. When first wened they can heat to the boiling point of water Flooding will reduce the temperature to safe limits. STABILITY| CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Moisture (water) can cause rise in temperature which may result m burn UNSTABLE STABLE X INCOMPATIBILITY (materials to avoid): Sudden contact with high concentrations ot chemicals having high heats of adsorption such as olefins. HCl. etc HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Hydrocarbons and other materials that contact the molecular sieve durmg normal use can Pe retained on the sieve, ft is reasonable to expect thal decomposition products will come from these retained materials ol use The molecular sieve itself does not readily decompose unless subiected to extreme temperature or chemical cond'tions. H such decomposition did occur the product would include the mix of oxides listed in Section II HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION CONDITIONS TO AVOID: None currently known. May Occur Will not Occur X # art STEPS TO BE TAKEN IF MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Sweep the spill area, collect and place the spilled material in a waste disposal container Avoid raising dust. WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Discard any product, residue, disposable container or liner in an environmentally acceptable manner, in full compliance with Federal, state and local regulations 00 A 061656 CONFIDFNTTAl Page 3 of 4
